Light weight bipod

[JohnJohnson]

I was wanting a triple pull as well, buy once cry once, but can’t find one in stock anywhere. What are they, almost 2 lbs?

I believe they're 2.25 pounds roughly. Honestly I think the best "buy once cry one" combo for hunting is a double pull Ckye pod and an RRS tripod with an Anvil to shoot off of if you're not super weight conscious. Which based on your interest in a 2.25 pound bipod I don't think you are.

I went with a single pull because I want its primary use to be for NRL22 so I didn't need a double for that. Anything I can't shoot with a single pull Ckye pod I'll just clip into my TFCT-34L and use that. I believe it's hard to beat that versatility/stability.

Do these attach to a pic rail or just there rail?

They attach to pic rails, there’s also an arca rail option

I have the Spartan and the gunwerks bipod. I have a salmon river solutions pic/spartan combo on my manners and ordered one for my Rokstok. The thing that sucks about using the gunwerks bipod with that particular rail is the gaps they carved out of each individual rail to save weight is just a touch wider than the recoil lug on the bipod so it’ll slide up and down the rail. Didn’t happen at first but after a couple hundred rounds it got sloppy. I’m hoping this new rail for the rokstok works better. If not, I may just sell that bipod and stick with the Spartan.

And to answer your question, the gunwerks. It’s just more versatile but also heavier. But I heard Spartan is coming out with something new this year so maybe hold off and see what gets released at shot show.

I have been waiting to get the Gunwerks, is that problem you're having part of why they are replacing every gen one? I listened to their latest podcast and they talked about the fact they had a problem, but didn't dive into what the problems were. Using a Spartan now, just thought the Gunwerks might work a bit better for me.

I wouldn’t think so but I honestly don’t know.

Any updates on the gunwerks?

I have a GW on order. Ordered mid October. Was told it should ship December, then April, now being told June when I spoke with them the other day.
Part of that was the Gen 1 to 2 swap. Was told some internal parts were not holding up was the issue.
We shall see when June rolls around I suppose.

Yeah I've been waiting for mine since early Sept, kinda some bullshit. But this is typical of gunwerks. Pretty much everything takes forever unless it's brass/ammo sitting on their shelf.

Has anyone seen or own a gen 2? I have not held one (or a gen 1) but it looked to fit the bill for me. Notched legs, spring loaded. Pic rail so easy on/off or to move to a different rifle. I like the wide stance option. Only thing I wish it had was a 45 deg leg notch option like an atlas or others.
But I have been considering canceling my order and trying something else, like the Backlanz?
