    I already know the best bipod. The Accu-Tac I bought from PTS. I have owed Harris, Magpul and a few other brands and the Accu-Tac with an Arca mount is by far the most durable and stable. Thanks as always for a great product and review
  • @jordannorton1795
    I’ll never purchase a $400 bi-pod but I can appreciate your level of detail in this comparison and your appreciation for quality products.
  • @johnwalsh7070
    The ever changing world of guns and gun accessories! Great review, Gary! You are going to need a bigger table soon!
  • @jasonrad9332
    Love my Accu-Tac PC-4 from PTS. I upgraded from the Magpul and what a difference. Always appreciate your insight Gary.
  • @johntaylor2840
    I've never use'd any of MDT's bi-pods, but I own of the one's I have used, Harris, Accutac, Atlas, Etc. The Accutac is by far the best. They're just heavy.
  • @caskets100
    There are not many videos I care to watch, but having said that you’re one of the only guys I care to watch. Great information and you teach it well. Being a martial arts instructor and firearms training instructor, your long rang knowledge is great. 👍🏻. PS: Do you train with your karambit? I train alot of karambit knife with my firearm. Anyway. Great videos.
  • @davidwalters7600
    Gary, your video has helped me greatly in deciding on the brands/types of bipods I need for the different kinds to use for the precision or tactical use.
  • @webanon
    TY, Sir. I learned a lot. I've been struggling to keep my AR-platform rifle on target after firing. I've learned part of the problem could be the MLOK MagPul bipod and not just my mechanics.
  • @HowardRios-ut6pt
    Very detailed video. This helped out highly to my next purchase.👍
  • @andyamor3344
    Thanks Gary awesome video. Bought the Accu-Tac WB-5 for target shooting. Class is Sporting Hunter we shoot F-Class targets but with bipods, No spikes or skies allowed and base spread of less than 14” 36cm. And a 1 Kg squeeze bag. The WB-5 Because it does not have pan long legs to shoot out to 1000 yds. I’ve watched your Accu-Tac video’s many times to choose the right one. Thanks buddy Andy Amor from Australia 🇦🇺
  • thanks buddy on the tips for bipods, i bought the thunder beast for my sp10 setup and the FC-5 for my sig cross magnum.
  • @ArkansasBadBoy
    I bought the FC-4 from y'all last year and I absolutely love it. All my rifles have their own hard case with everything they need within, except a bipod because I only need 1. I use this one bipod for every rifle I own, it's that good. My lightest rig is 19 pounds and this bipod could care less. Good stuff.
  • @fl_protection
    Excellent video brother. My go to and favorite are the AccuTac. I may order the BR-4.
  • @hangarpilot1895
    Gary thanks for the updated video on the bipods. I wish that TBAC, Accutac, and MDT would change their design to be able to change the head with two screws like the Atlas allows.
  • Great video! The info helped me select the best bi-pod for my rifle. I went with a AccuTac PC4 Bipod and an ARCA rail.
  • @C42WatChe42C
    Great content as always, thank you for what you do 💯
  • @armeddiver
    Great video. I learned a lot. Unfortunately, I purchased before I learned. I own two (2), not one MagPul bipods and one is MLok. I own an Atlas, because some on YouTube said it was the best, but as you have pointed out, I have found it to be only marginally better than the MagPuls. I do have an Accu-Tac SR5, but for the type of shooting that I do it is too long. I also have the MDT GRND POD and it is really nice. Because of this video I have to decide between getting another Accu-Tac or a Ground Beast. The Protean Innovations is really cool, but just a little too much for the shooting I do. Again, great video and thank you for making it.
  • @TF_LXIX
    Found your channel recently. I’m really liking the in depth content, keep it up!
  • @JeffO321
    Subscribed! Thanks for making this video! Your review of each one of these bipods has informed my next bipod decision. I was a long-time "Harris" guy who switched to Atlas, but now I think I'll be switching to the Thunder Beast Arms Bipod w/ the Arca attachment. The part of the video that sold me was the flex that you demonstrated with the Atlas bipods vs the TBAC bipods. Before I saw this video I was considering getting the Magpul bipods, glad I saw this video before purchasing!! Great Review!!
  • @Peezy71421
    I shot out to 1100 yards EASILY and consistently using the MagPul bipod. However I also own the Accutac PC-4 with Arca QD. Of course i love my AccuTac, however the Magpul is far from trash. Then again i believe in developing a level of skill so high that I can be proficient using any level of firearm and accessories.
