Any merit to a bipod that mounts to the upper rail?

[1911-A1]

I have plenty of rail estate on the top of my SCAR17, and since it's a rather "tall" gun, I thought a bipod that mounts to the top, "suspending" the gun below it might be worth looking into. Do these exist?

The Vltor mounts to side rails. http://www.vltor.com/modpod.htm Not sure about mounting to the top rail.

The original Tangodown could probably be mounted on the upper rail. I have one, may give it a shot tomorrow.

Actually, take a look for the Tangodown on the MilitaryMorons site, I think they have a pic of that configuration, as I recall.

Ugh. That's about $200 with shipping. I'd have a hard time seeing the value in that. Thanks for the tip, though.

The features you are asking for do not come cheaply.

Serious bipods like that aren't cheap. You should see what the Atlas V8 bipods go for.

The cheapest bipod I would ever recommend to someone is a Harris. Which start around $100 and go up.

They what a lot of serious target shooters call... "starter pods".

A good bipod should be solid and it's attachment to your weapon should be equally solid.

Precision shooting is about seeking perfection.

Perfect aint cheap!

$200, that's it? Try a steel Parker-Hale bipod if you think $200 is bad! P-H bipods tend to run about $300 or so...when you can find them!

$300, that's it? Try a Sako TRG-22/42 series bipod, if you think $300 is bad!

Also, take a look at the side mounted bipods from this company at over $575!
