Flat out great bipod - Leapers UTG Heavy Duty Recon 360 Bipods

I own several models of Harris and Atlas Bipods. I saw this one as I was gathering parts for a Rifle I was building for my son and thought I would give it a try. Besides, at the cost, I could throw it away 10x before I paid the price of another Atlas. Granted, it is not the same but for a 17yo, they really don't know the difference.

I on the otherhand, was very impressed. The quality of the machining and the detail was really nice. On this order I actually did buy both the Leapers and another Atlas BT10. The Leapers comes in a cheap thin plastic box like thing. The Atlas comes in a plastic bag. Hummm, can we say there is no money wasted on marketing - I'm ok with that.

When reviewing the products side by side, I am pleasantly impressed. And actually tend to favor the tight tolerances of the UTG over the Atlas. After mounting both new bipods, the Atlas giggled making noise whereas the UTG did not. The adjustment wheels to the legs are probably the weakest part and may be the first to fail. However, the little wheel doesn't really do much for the legs to begin with. Surprisingly, for the cost the UTG didn't have any visible plastic parts.

Ultimately, it comes down to budget. So, if you can live with something that will probably scratch but not cost you 10x as much, I definitely suggest buying one.

Now I bring up Harris, in comparison and in my opinion, I like the UTG much better! Sure the UTG does not have a spring loaded leg. But unless you want what you are hunting to know you are there, save the money and go with UTG.
