looking for a lightweight, low profile bipod... recommendations?

[masakari]

My LaRue/Harris came in, and its great.

The Atlas looks great too, but its a bit pricey and hard to find.
And ill be looking forward to those pics of the demon tactical one...

One word, Atlas

Atlas bipods are far and away my favorite for precision work, but they're not lighter than Harris' bon-swivel models. Mine weighs in at 12.2 oz with the mount compared to 9.9 oz for a Harris BRM.

There are lots of really lightweight hunting bipods- some are as light as two ounces, but you cannot load them properly (assuming the OP know what bipod loading is).

EDIT- The Demon Tactical bipod may not facilitate "loading".

Yup, that's why I went with the harris; its a proven design, and very reliable. Its as lightweight as possible while being able to stand up to abuse, and loading.

Sorry, I missed your post. My head must have been...elsewhere. Good choice!

No worries.
I am still interested in info on the demon tactical one because its so lightweight and simple.

Atlas or Tango Down

I have both. The Atlas is more versatile, but the Tango Down is more stable on an AR platform.

Finally got my account activated, I will get some pictures uploaded today of my Demon Tactical.

Here are a few pics/angles of my Demon Tactical Bipod. I read the review from GunBlog that masakari posted. All-in-all the review was very positive, except for the comment on the Magpul AFG. As you can see that is what I am rollin' with and I have no issues at all with the bipod being in the way.

If you are still interested I'm not sure where you can purchase these now... just did a quick ebay and gunbroker search with 0 results, and even the manufacturer doesn't have it listed on his site either http://www.demontactical.com/ Maybe you could contact them direct and see if they plan on making more. Best of luck.

Wow that lookc great! If I can find any I might have to buy one...

Looking at the pic I think you will need extra long arms/elbows to shoot the Demon from prone or bench. It appears to set the rifle very high.

FWIW, I've been running an Atlas for well over a year and consider it to be top notch for my purposes. There are a couple of good M4C threads on the Atlas if you care to do a search.
