Bipod mounting options?


Recommended Posts

I read that it was better to mount a bipod on VEPR, PSL, Dragunovs, on the receiver to keep tension off the barrel. Is this true, or does it not make enough difference to go ahead and mount it on the hand guard? Legit Dragunov bipods are ridiculously expensive and it will take a bit of ingenuity to mount to the receiver unless there is some mounting option I'm not aware of.

its a bit of a toss up really. on my super its a full length stock but there is still some question as to whether or not the bipod mounted up front will cause accuracy issues. mounting it on the front of the receiver (although it will never site correctly like an SVD/PSL, look at the way the receivers are milled or in case of PSL stamped in that area) brings in other factors about stability. generally you lose accuracy on any rifle when you put the bipod that close since you now have shrunk your base. on the plus side your able to move to the next target faster. best suggestion grab a sand bag/shooting bag and play around with it at the range to decide where you want your bipod.
