Hey all,
I'm in the process of building out my first AR-15 and am focusing on a precision rifle to improve my marksmanship with. This is the same build I pestered folks with regarding quality triggers in another thread (https://www.m4carbine.net/showthread.php?t=113430).
Now, can I pick your brains about bipods?
I initially was planning on the VLTOR Modpod (I liked its low center of gravity, wide footprint, and how it folded up and away from your hand if you use a VFG), but after reading reviews, its plastic legs seem extremely suspect. As such, I'm looking elsewhere.
I'm getting close to hitting the wall with my budget, so the Harris line of bipods seems attractive based on price point alone. Trouble is, they have a ton of different models, and I am uncertain what features I should look for.
Also, what's the word on picatinny mounts? Any in particular? Are their budget items that are acceptable?
Thanks.
