New MDT Mountain and Backcountry Bipods Shot Show 2025

[Lawnboi]

Euro optic has them in stock, mountain arca.

I wasn’t in a huge rush but happy I didn’t pay retail for mine knowing that gunzone is slinging those things at dealer cost or close to it.

I got a LE discount but not as good of a deal as gun zone. I didn't want arca and gun zone said they haven't had picatinny in a very long time and I have yet to see them or I would have canceled my order at MDT

Still waiting for the bipod.

I ordered a set of these to try with it

Rubber Bipod Feet — PRShootingSolutions

these bipod feet are compatible with mdt mountain and backcountry bipods, made from durable nylon-cf and tpu, easily fits over the legs of the bipod replacing the spike feet

www.prshootingsolutions.com

Never shot it with the spiked feet but these did fine.

a drop of glue would be good as one isn’t as snug as I’d expect.

Shot off gravel, shooting mat, and some rocks with em.

Bipod overall seems pretty versatile. Up high I wouldn’t say it’s super stable, but for the weight it’s not bad and it’s plenty stable in the lower positions.

The leg that has the splay control seems like it has a lot of play in it. Is that normal on ckye pods to?

Those things have been readily available on gun zone and they're like 333 bucks on there. I sent an inquiry yesterday to MDT and today received a tracking number. I wonder if they're just forgetting about orders or who knows what. Either way mine's on the way. That's all I care about. I wish I wanted an arca cuz I would have bought it from gun zone

That site has a bunch of nasty reviews. Have you ordered from it? Seems too good to be true at that price…

I’ve ordered from them in the past with no issues

I’ve ordered a tikka or 2 from them. Was fine.

 

[Bbrinks]

I couldn’t bring myself to spend $18+ on some rubber feet so I ended up just spending $.70 and put some 5/8 rubber furniture caps on instead. The grip is great and they hold on perfect, won’t be coming off until I take them off. Added about .25oz, but they’re way better than the spikes that came with it

What is the OD of the lower leg section?

 

[Bbrinks]

For the backcountry it measured between 15.97-16mm

First impressions

I finally got my hands on the Mountain Bipod in the pic rail version (11407-BLK). I first ordered it from a supposedly reliable dealer/machining company out of Michigan. Suffice to say, I will never do that again….

I had a coupon and was able to place a new order from Optics Planet.

Just received it today:
My first impressions are that it is overall what I expected. Light, and seems durable enough for its intended purpose of hunting, and not to bear the weight of a 25 pound target rifle. It fits really nice and tight in my SRS pic rail. However, the mechanism that allows for the spread of the legs is loose. See my pics showing the amount of movement in relation to a static line on the paper behind the bipod. I’ve emailed MDT to see if this is in tolerance and normal for this model. I will update as I receive more information in case anyone is interested.

I don’t think it’s a deal breaker for me, just not quite what I expected for an almost $500 bipod. All other functions seem nice and tight.

Yes a tapered pin would have been nice in the splay hole, Mine has the same amount of movement. When using the bipod it does not effect its function though.

Good to know, thanks.

I emailed and asked and was told it’s normal. Seems like a lot but this is my first bipod in 10 years so that’s a very subjective opinion from me

Is this normal on all of them? I’m super close to pulling the trigger on the mountain arca from gunzonedeals and this has got me hesitating…

 

[Lwarner03]

I've really been waiting for gunwerks to release an ARCA version and they have commented that it's on the roadmap.

Me too

In fairness why? It makes zero functional difference as when it's setup it's always forced to one limit. If you plan to just stand there and fondle it sure. But if you plan to use it it makes no difference and is just what happens when parts have to move and geometrys are significantly limited by size. The original prototype i played with had alot but I never once noticed it in use.

I’ve never even thought to spend this much on a bipod and just want to make sure I’m not regretting it after I fork out the cash. Just wanted to hear others feedback on if this is normal for this bipod and other higher end bipods.
