Awesome,

1. Ability to pan and tilt with the legs spread wide
2. Overall build quality- does it feel sturdy with good lock up
3. Leg extensions look like twist lock?
4. Is the mechanism to spread the legs accessible from behind the rifle?

Appreciate the offer to do that. This bipod has always interested me but I don’t know anyone that has one.
I can answer as well.

1. Tilt yes, no pan feature at all.
2. Very well built IMO.
3. Plunger mechanism with micro adjust feature once deployed.
4. Yes although you may have to release pressure from the legs.

They recently changed from the leg pull to deploy the legs to buttons like an atlas.

I have to admit that every time I watch the “auction” portion of the expo, I always have such mixed emotions. Just like I do with sheep week. I always think, man that is great for conservation. Then I think, how much of that actually goes to conservation? And then always followed by, this has become a rich man’s sport in certain aspects. Always shocked how much some of those tags sell for. I often wonder if some of it isn’t anything more than ding dong measuring contest.

I have those same emotions. “Torn” is how I’d describe it.
