Question 1

Do you think the atlas bi-pod would hold up to a 338 or 50 cal ??

Accepted Answer

Hi Mike, I've fired .50 cal. rifles going through Special Operations Target Interdiction Course (SOTIC) Category I military sniper course for Special Operations. The Atlas is a solid device and I own two of them. With that said, the .338 Lapua shouldn't be a problem but the .50 cal is a different animal. When I fired the .50, my entire body slid backwards and it felt like a flash bang grenade went off at the muzzle. Also, the amount of dust and dirt made it impossible for a spotter to track the round to target. I think it would hold up to a .50 but the real question is for how long? The force over time could cause the metal points of contact to become loose. Again, i don't know, but the Atlas is a solid device and works better than any other bipod that have ever used including the Harris.

Question 2

This this the bt10-lw17 v8 atlas bipod?

Accepted Answer

yes (at least from the photo); if you go to: http://www.accu-shot.com/Atlas_Bipods.php You can compare the difference between Atlas bipods and essentially there are 7 versions but only 2 at standard height using the picatinny quick release rail mount (ADM 170-S Lever). Those are the BT10 and BT46. This one is marked as the BT10 but the BT46 costs approx. $40 more and provides the following additional features:   Fore and Aft pivot limiting bosses (limits the foreward / backward canting)   Non-rotating legs (better construction)   Inner leg construction from T7075 (stronger construction)    weight 0.91 more The BT10 is a nice, solid bipod and unless you are willing to spend the extra $40, and feel you are doing intense use i.e. combat ops, then BT46 isn't necessary (in my opinion :) but I own both.

Question 3

How would you mount this on a Magpul Hunter 700L stock?

Accepted Answer

Does the rifle have a picatinny rail? If not get a picatinny adapter to fit your application if you have sling attachments. If not get a picatinny rail and mount it to your rifle.

Question 4

How do you clamp down the qd mount? when i push the lever down it's too tight to go flat- there should be a way to reduce tension and flatten lever?

Accepted Answer

The qd unscrews completely from the other side. Push the lever into the unit while the lever is in the unlocked position. This will allow you to turn the adjustment nut.
