Thread 'Tricer RP review'

Jul 28, 2025

Its been a bit of time coming and I know there are a couple of reviews out there, so here is my experience

My experience with bipods: MDT, Atlas, Harris, and some other Atlas knock off, now Tricer.

Shooting type I do: PRS, NRL, casual target, hunting.

This past weekend I shot a NRL match with my tricer. I had my hesitations of this being useful for a shooting comp because of the flex that comes from CF legs AND as stated in other threads the bipod has cant and pan. I've never had panning in my bipods and based on the amount of pressure I put on a bipod, I didn't think I'd like it. Well...

I'm going to pin the ball to get rid of the paning feature since it is not independent of the cant feature. The tripod twisted on me several times during a NRL match. I wasn't a fan of that happening

How are you pinning the ball to prevent the pan? Or do you have a link of an example you're following?

Thread on locking it out?

The Tricer RP seems great in every regard besides the fact that it pans 360° (and the owner is hard to like)

So I disassembled the bipod, determined the center of the spherical ball and socket joint, then crossdrilled and bolted the joint. The bolt prevents panning, but allows the bipod to cant still.

Here are the instructions:

1. Measure 21.35mm from the bottom of the center cylinder and make a mark. This is critical as this is the location of the center of the ball and socket. If you do not drill it centered, the bipod will not cant. View attachment 885082

It also looks like if you could find a plastic washer the correct thickness, you could lock out the pan but maintain the swivel. As it is I just have it locked and don't anticipate using the pan/swivel option. I'm strictly using it for hunting.

The problem is that you need to be able to cant the bipod quickly and that unlocks the pan as well.

That's why some guys are pinning it so it can't pan.

Think im gunna have to one of these out.

Interested to follow this. I’m in the market for a new bipod and I think I’m between this one and the Gunwerks Elevate 2.0. Pros and Cons of both of those would be nice. Primary use is hunting for me.

I have the Gunwerks 2.0 myself. I must say that I cannot find anything that I don't like about it. If it helps to make your decision, I'm 6 foot tall, and I am able to sit indian style and shoot with it. I do need to lean into the rifle a little to see through the scope, but I see that as beneficial for loading up pressure for a stable shot. My friend has the Tricer bipod, and it's nice how it goes up taller, but like I said, I can sit on my butt with the Gunwerks fully extended, and shoot. The Gunwerks also is much more compact folded down, which is a plus for mounting a rifle to a backpack for back country use. The Tricer is fairly wide when folded down.

Lots of great feedback in this thread! Sounds like it's a good investment - but not as good as the ckye pod.

I’ve been looking at the tricer rp for my coyote rifle during the winter months. I see a lot of dislike for the pan feature on this bipod, but for coyote hunting I could possibly see this as an added benefit? I’m thinking of situations like tracking a running coyote through my scope or taking shots from the 9-12 o’clock or 12-3 o’clock position without having to pick up my whole setup and adjust, which would most likely give away my position. I haven’t found how well this bipod would work in this type of hunting/shooting scenario anywhere yet.

I personally think the complaints on the panning are loud noise and not an issue, especially when using it for hunting. For me, I just lock it down tight and good to go. My ckyepod is the "lightweight" so I can't lock panning out on that either - maybe that is where I don't mind it? I've only shot my Tricer RP at the range and at NRL Hunter shoots so far.

just play with the tensioning at home before getting in the field to get comfortable with how much "movement" you're okay having.

If you spin your rifle from 12 to 3 o’clock, you’d also have to move your entire position to stay behind it as well. Much more simple to just lift the rifle and reposition it than repositioning yourself.

This is how the RP looks on every rifle I’ve ever seen it on with someone that’s actually hunting in the field. It just constantly grabs brush and rotates

A tripod is what you want for that. Way better than a bipod in my experience.

I can report it’s a shit show trying to reposition and cant with this bipod unlocking pan……the height is nice but not at expense of the clear drawbacks. Tall is quite robust when mounted to rifle and carrying.

A tripod would be handy there for sure.

It's a nice bipod for sure, but I could easily do without the pan feature. Maybe I'll get the guts to drill/pin it myself.

For predator hunting, the height is great though. Sitting on a hillside is perfectly comfortable with the long legs extended.
