This bi-pod is a budget value item. I mounted this on an M-4 carbine (5.56mm NATO round) w/ Picatinny rails. Great for the price. Easy to install. All functions work adequately such as height extension and instant one touch retraction; strong leg springs and sturdy frame, though rubber footing leaves black skid marks on surfaces. This item also has a simple sling attachment feature, which I have no intentions of testing. Permanently hang a $1K firearm on a $30 bipod sling feature? I don't think so. I simply wanted a solid bi-pod and that's what Leapers delivered. However, I noticed a significant weight increase in the muzzle end of my rifle. Because of the weight increase, I would recommend this for stationary bench rest shooting and zeroing at the range but not for long carries in a dynamic environment. You will definitely notice the weight in the off hand shooting position with this bi-pod. I recommend this Leapers UTG Tactical SWAT Bi-pod because of it's PRICE value. Also note, I just got this item and it performs to my expectations, so only time will tell about it's sustained LONGEVITY value.
