History of Snipersystems bipods
Following the success of the 13”-27”(now upgraded to 16 1/2 "-29") Mil Spec Tilting Bipods Global
Rifle made to enable the military to shoot over poppies and maize, they decided to increase the production to include bipods
in 6”-9” and 9 1/2”-16” sizes, and have sold several thousand. Snipersystems Mark IX tilting
bipods are similar to the 20 year old Harris swivel design, but are made of much lighter materials, and Global
Rifle engineers have now made over 30 engineering improvements on the original Harris design to make them more
user friendly, lighter in weight and less likely to pinch fingers!
The later versions incorporate
a tilt locking mechanism so the “Swivel” action, that enables the rifle to be tilted on the bipod to accommodate
rough ground, can be stiffened up or even locked in one position both quickly and easily. This ratchetting lever is
similar to the American “Podlock” , previously only available as an accessory and only suitable for fitting to
the Harris, and not to many other designs of bipod.
Fala Newell, the designer of the Snipersystems
bipod stresses the importance of shooting with the rifle upright, and not tilted over—a common cause of inaccuracy.
Although originally designed for centrefire rifles, the Snipersystems bipod can be used on almost any rifle or air
rifle, so long as a sling swivel stud is attached to the stock.
The three sizes accommodate all types of shooting,
be it benchrest, prone, sitting, kneeling, shooting off the bonnet of a car or over crops.
The great advantage
of the long version has been proven time and time again by snipers, stalkers and vermin controllers who have found
that they do not need to risk being seen by their quarry whilst trying to find something to lean on—they can stay hidden
behind crops or heather and shoot over the top.
We listen to our customer's - in the following review of a
MarkII, an improvement was suggested and you will see that the later versions now have these little pads.
