[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Imagine this - theoretically speaking - if you could place your bipod right at the target, on an extension yards away from your rifle, you would never miss the target, right? Even if you jump up and down while pulling the trigger at your shooting spot. The (extended) position of your bipod will eliminate any movement effect of the rifle based on the axiom principle. Therefore, mathematically it would be impossible to miss the target.
After I missed my shot and set the bullet drop aside, that impulsive scenario ran into my mind ... and this is how it all began ...
I returned from shooting practice with bizarre remarks about my set-up during the day: It sure seemed that the further out the bipod was placed, the more stable my shooting platform became. (Death to the dancing crosshairs!)
Is that even a thing? Is there a way, a device, a readily available means that allows a shooter to quickly, easily, and reliably place a rifle's resting point - a bipod or something similar - out ... way out ... up to the muzzle ... or even past the muzzle? I was thinking, "This is obvious, way too obvious. If indeed this is useful, it surely already exists. - I need that device ... I need that stabilizer. Certainly an impulse purchase, but something I had to have."
Google never appeared faster in front of my eyes before. Let's search for this beautiful "rifle stabilizer" or "bipod extender." I'd bet it was invented sometime in the 60s or 50s, or even earlier ... Agonizing disappointment; Google has never before given me fewer search results. And some of the few search results even showed bipods attached directly to the barrel! Yeah! - Face slam Emoji! - We all know we can't do that. Not for Precision rifles, anyway.
"Google must be having technical problems today. Forget it." I must test and feel this "extended resting point" for myself. Home Depo to the resque. While browsing at Aisle 12, a piece of 1.5" x 1.5" x 8' aluminum tube lured me into taking it home.
Back home ... 8' is too long ... Hacksaw in hand and cut 2' of it ... oh wait - "Why not use it for all it's got?" I strapped the aluminum tube to my Benjamin with duct tape (that's right, I first did this with my Benjamin). It was far from being as rigid as it needed to be, but it was solid enough for a simple test.
On my next day of shooting practice, while I was sighting down the scope, I was moving up and down, sitting down and getting up, and the 100 yards target was barely getting away from my crosshairs. "Wow! What on Earth? Trigonometry works, after all? This deserves a deeper look."[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator][vc_custom_heading text="Shop BipodeXt" font_container="tag:h3|text_align:left" use_theme_fonts="yes"]
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]To understand the principles behind the design of BipodeXt™ it helps to visualize a rifle as a lever and a bipod as the fulcrum on which the lever rests. While BipodeXt™ is not utilized to move heavy objects, the principle of the lever/fulcrum axiom is still in effect. By using this principle of thought, we can state that the effect of a force applied to one end of the lever directly translates to the effect of that force at the opposing end. As for BipodeXt™, the further out the bipod is placed the effect of movement at the toe of the rifle is drastically reduced at the muzzle.
Some BipodeXt™ models, such as the BipodeXt PRS Competition PRO Stabilizer, provide the ability for the shooter to extend the resting point (fulcrum) beyond the muzzle of most rifles, thus reducing the point of impact shift caused by unintentional movement at the toe of the rifle system, during the climax of the firing sequence. BipodeXt™ functions as a telescoping attachment allowing the shooter to adjust and extend the resting point of the rifle system as the situation dictates. Due to its tubular design, BipodeXt™ can quickly correct canting errors with the use of the integral clamping system. This allows the shooter to employ more rigid bipod systems, by excluding the need for a bipod equipped with a canting function. The entire line-up of BipodeXt™ products weigh in beneath 33oz
The BipodeXt Stabilizer Line is a 100% manufactured in the USA offering of the popular BipodeXt™ accessory to your rifle. The Stabilizer Line offers American-made carbon fiber tubes coupled with 6061 T6 aluminum components all precisely engineered and manufactured in Southern California. The low profile, quick detach, mounting system allows for easy access and the ability to extend the resting point of your rifle system in a moments notice whenever the absolute precision is required for your firing solution.
The BipodeXt MSR Stabilizer is the compact brother of our BipodeXt Stabilizers. This model contains only two, 100% USA-made, telescoping carbon fiber tubes. This provides the shooter with a single extension in a more compact system tailored for weapons with shorter barrels that are still in use as precision platforms. Our single, progressive wall thickness telescoping tube design, allows the shooter to extend the resting point (fulcrum) to the muzzle of most carbine-style rifles, thus reducing the point of impact shift caused by unintentional movement at the toe of the rifle system.
The BipodeXt MSR Stabilizer is made, here in the USA, with the same engineered tolerance requirements as its larger brother, the BipodeXt PRS Competition Stabilizer. Both products were specifically designed and engineered, by Accuracy Solutions, to provide the perfect fit for most any field application. The BipodeXt MSR Stabilizer allows the shooter to move the resting point of their weapon approximately 44 inches away from the toe of the rifle. Fully extended it measures 20 inches. Collapsed it measures under 13 inches. The O.D. of its base tube is 40mm (1.575”). The TAC II weighs less than 24oz
The BipodeXt PRS Competition Stabilizer is our extended model for extreme long-range precision shooting. Our 100% USA-made, telescoping, carbon fiber extension tube was designed, tested, and refined over the last year, and engineered here in the U.S.A, to meet our exact tolerance requirements. The BipodeXt PRS Competition Stabilizer allows the shooter to extend the resting point (fulcrum) beyond the muzzle of most rifles, thus reducing the point of impact shift caused by unintentional movement at the toe of the rifle system. Fully extended, the progressive wall thickness of our carbon fiber telescoping tubes, provides the BipodeXt PRS Competition Stabilizer with the ability to extend the resting point of the rifle system approximately 52 inches away from the toe of the rifle. This extension provides for a very powerful “reversed lever functioning”, thus offering increased accuracy potential with the added stability. Fully extended it measures 28 inches. Collapsed it measures under 14 inches. The O.D. of its base tube is 40mm (1.575”) and it weighs less than 33 OZ.
The BipodeXt (ELR) Max Stabilizer is our most advanced, universal, innovative, and most rapidly adopted precision stabilizer from the most advanced shooters worldwide.
Rated for up to 65 lbs. rifles and designed to accommodate very large calibers like .50 BMG, .408 Cheytac, .416 Barrett, and more.
The BipodeXt ELR Max is our current Big Bore flagship Rifle Stabilizer model, and extreme long-range precision shooting with large rifles is where it shines. Used by the best competitive shooters in the world, the BipodeXt ELR Max provides ultimate stability.
The BipodeXt ELR offers three large QD levers in its Unimount that provide fast, easy, and secure attachment and detachment. The ELR Max allows the shooter to extend the resting point (fulcrum) more than 33 inches forward of the typical bipod placement area. This is sufficient to place the bipod at or near the muzzle of many big bore rifles.

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.
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.
Now that we’ve explored the characteristics that make truly great bipods for long range shooting, let’s take a look at a few of the most popular models that fit the bill.
No matter which long range bipod you choose, rest assured that supplementing it with Accuracy Solutions will take performance and accuracy to the next level. Shop now or let us know if you have any questions!
The best bipod is the bipod attached to your rifle. A bipod gives shooters, especially in the prone position unmatched stability compared to without. However with Accuracy Solutions it allows your current bipod to be even better.
Bipod is made up of the Greek and Latin words “bi” and “pod.” Bi means “two” while pod refers to “the foot” or “feet.” Hence the literal definition of “two footed.” When you look at a bipod, you can see that this description is very accurate: a bipod comes with two feet that allow you to balance the weight of your rifle with more stability.
“The first firearm bipod was used around 1938. Before that, bipods were only used for cameras. They allowed the photographers to take high-quality close-up terrestrial which could be used to make maps and drawing scales,” explains Huntspot.com. In World War II, soldiers utilized bipods “were utilized in the form of sticks tied together to give soldiers a simple platform to rest their heavy weapons. The bipods enabled them to take more accurate shots while at the same time helping avoid fatigue.”

The use of bipods is on the rise everyone from the military to law enforcement, hunters, snipers, and other types of shooters are using them. This increase in demand has given rise to many new companies making bipods for a variety of uses. So what are some of the most popular brands of bipods on the market today?
Although bipods are a great front support and add to the stability of the rifle system Accuracy Solutions can deliver a whole new experience of accuracy and stability (best bipod). Since it has both a sling stud and picatinny rail it can receive most bipods. Also with a wedged rail, that comes standard, it can connect to hunting style rifles as well as tactical rifles via a picatinny rail on the forend. The reason Accuracy Solutions adds to the stability and accuracy of the rifle system is it moves the resting point of the rifle closer to the muzzle of the rifle and beyond.
