Before we delve into why bipods are important and the best bipods for long range shooting lets look at a new stability platform that works with most bipod / rifle configuations. It is called Accuracy Solutions by Accuracy Solutions and it is revolutionizing long range precision shooting.
Accuracy Solutions works by extending the resting point of your bipod towards the muzzle of your rifle and beyond without interfering with barrel harmonics. Daniel Gyurec, inventor of Accuracy Solutions, used Archimedes principles of the Lever / Fulcrum to increase stability and accuracy.
Things To Consider Before Buying A Bipod
Shopping for a bipod? If it’s your first time, or your first time buying a bipod specifically for long range use, be sure to thoroughly evaluate their performance on the following criteria:
Adjustable Legs – Does the long range bipod you’re considering offer adjustable/telescoping legs? Without this feature, you may have trouble getting the exact shooting height that will allow you to take the most accurate shot. Any bipod that claims to be for long range shooting but doesn’t include this feature shouldn’t even be on your ‘maybe’ list.
Flexibility – The best bipods for long range shooting typically include various flexibility features, such as panning, cant, etc. When these features are present, it becomes easier for you to align the crosshairs of your scope, thus enabling sharper focus on your target.
Swivel Stud Feature – You have multiple rifles. Does that mean you need to buy multiple long range bipods? Not if they have a swivel stud feature that allows them to be mounted to just about any gun. For this reason, universal bipods are most popular with avid shooters.
Durability – You wouldn’t buy a cheap, flimsy gun for your long range shooting, so why buy a cheap, flimsy bipod? “…always go for string and durable bipods that stand the tests of time and give you the best support. Bipods made from hardened steel and aluminum have proved to be the strongest and the most durable in the market,” explains Huntspot.
