New tricer bipod

[low2497]

While I understand the theory behind the concerns of having pan on this bipod, Im not sure they are warranted. As Tricer has stated multiple times, the ball head seems to lock down very securely. Maybe it will surprise me and give way under recoil but first impressions, it seems solid.

Excited to give this a try on some hunts this fall

Agree, I’m not a competitive shooter but the pan seems like it won’t be an issue, I shoot mostly .308 and below suppressed so little recoil anyhow. I thought it could be useful on coyotes and big game, several instances where I’m in the scope tracking an animal walk and pan could have been useful

In my experience with an atlas, you will never be able to lock pan out enough to prevent it, without pinning it. You have 2+ feet of lever to twist that pan, the torque necessary to truly lock it out is most likely going to break things.

@Tricer Is there or can there be a taller version available in the future? I’m talking something in the 45-42 inch range?

I’d be interested in one for calling coyotes. Right now the swagger and Rokstedi seem to be the only ones in that realm.

Not in the plans. Those guys both make great stuff.

I think as is it's a great bipod for predators. Once I get to that height I will be on a tripod. The taller you go the more instability comes into play I don't have plans to make legs that long.

Do we get in trouble if we don't recognize the one dude?

Well one of them apparently gets pretty upset if you don’t know who he is, but also always wears a hat and sunglasses. Guess we should have all seen his poaching mugshot or something?

I’m shooting mine on a 15 pound rifle. Shot it less that 20 times but done a bunch of dry fire so far, seems solid enough.

Thanks for the feedback.

Curious how it handles ~25 lbs rifles, as well.

Dude is a drama queen. And he has his little "yes" men that report back to him when someone is talking about him or tricer.

I ordered the RP the other day (had some GH points to burn) I noticed when it was first released it was $299, when I ordered it had went up to $329, and now its up to $349. Still seems like a solid tripod for the money but creeping up. I assume thats a biproduct of tariffs? Although I am a firm believer in the idea that if people aren't complaining about your pricing, you're too cheap

I will say that for the issue I have with the pic conversion to stock adapter, the CS team has been very responsive from Tricer. So at least they've invested in that part of the business.
It isn't the first time Tricer has done this regarding taking liberties with designs. My Wiser Precision Nighthawk comes to mind.
Tricer appears to be like many other companies coming to the shooting space. Decent ideas, excellent reverse engineering overseas, solid bankroll for inventory, and a large portion of revenue to marketing. Perfect to be sold to whatever PE outfit wants in 3-5 years. I wish them the best and do it again in another ten years after the mailbox money stops!
