New tricer bipod

China, USA, Mexico, wherever. I'm happy with mine so far and it comes in at a good price. As long as the customer support is there, who cares.

Well Im sure a lot of us “care” while at the same time not being above buying and enjoying products that were made in China.

Well said. I understand the fella once posted he'd never manufacture overseas. I'm sure they gave it a good try. Alot had happened in this world since 2020. I guess what I meant is if they moved manufacturing to china but still keep solid quality, service, and pricing. I don't think that we should be the ones complaining.
We all love gear. Not everyone can afford top shelf american made items for every accessory we shoot or hunt with. They have some real cool products at very good prices. I think 98% of their customers will be able to get over the fact their stuff is made in china and just enjoy a solid product.

If there was a public statement made about this transition I’d be interested to read it. I appreciate the nuance here and am still confused by the positioning.

Yes, that’s what I’m interested in as well. In that public statement, he says “We will never manufacture our products overseas, and that’s a guarantee.” Well, it obviously wasn’t a guarantee. Did he ever release a public statement retracting that? He also said no panning lock wasn’t an issue, but a lot of guys on here wish it had a pan lock.
 
Guys let’s maybe not totally trip all over ourselves on this, or maybe take a look through your gear closet and sit and reflect about how little to none of our gear is manufactured in the USA. Then we can have a bigger conversation about that. I’d venture to say maybe less than 10% of your hunting gear is fully made in the USA from USA manufactured materials. I don’t love it, but we would need a Time Machine to seriously change it.

I don’t think that’s it. My beef is about how he made a guarantee, a promise, and then didn’t keep it. Was there ever a public statement? If he came out and made a statement like “hey guys, when we started, we were strictly selling US made products. As times change, we realize that’s impossible to always be the case, except for huge price increases. Some/all of our products will be made overseas to keep prices reasonable”. Something similar to that, instead of a promise disappearing and guys wondering what’s up.
 
Way better question is: How can anyone care this much about a small company's sales pitches from 5 years ago

Most rifle manufacturers GUARENTEE a sub MOA gun

It's obvious what happened. COVID, outsource, now prices go down, now more SKUs, now sales go up. He has clearly and publicly acknowledged Made in China products

Let's get back to asking for a no-pan bipod

No pan.....cant is fine.
 
This thread kinda toke a left turn the bipod is good it let me to stop using my atlas with two extensions and being alittle heavy to a lighter more adjustable and ditch my heavier tripod for shooting off. The pan not the best thing but it locks in good and stable all the way extended this bipod is going to great for the backpacking hunts. It’s good when we have options from a couple different companies

Yes agreed, might be wrong but seems like the prs, nrl guys have the biggest beef with the pan. I am neutral on it I just hunt I don’t shoot competitions, but seems like tricer has a good chance to bring another “no pan” bipod to market if they are smart and listening to their customers. All in all very happy with my bipod so far, time will tell with durability, but it’s by far the best bipod I own by quite a stretch
 
That pan feature to me and coupling with made in China is making be second guessing a purchase, going to have to see how they hold up long term.
 
I sold mine already. It just didn't perform and ultimately felt cheap as it broke in. The issue was that heavy recoil exposed the loose tolerances and fitment in the system. I shot a 300 WBY, 300 WM, and 7mm RM, all non-brake rifles, with it. The pic base never fit a sling swivel on a McMillan, Manners, or AG stock I had in the stable.
I've since gone to the Gunwerks Elevate 2.0.

To clarify, did you only try attaching via the sling stud adapter
 
I for one have liked mine.. it is no ckye pod by any means but for what i paid for it it opened a lot of doors for shooting positions for me from what i had before. I was shooting a 1/3 ipsc at 500 yards seated with my back against a shooting bench and didn’t feel like it was holding me back. Shot prone and from a bench with it today on my 6.5 SAUM and had no issues. All in all for the price point i don’t regret the purchase. We would all like American made but if this was made in the US it would cost twice what it does.
