ATLAS BIPOD FEET ? --FOR CONCRETE

[dusterdave173]

OK Gang
I started shooting a 22 50yd bench match- Factory Gun with my CZ -I am shooting off a bipod and rear bag on concrete bench--I finished 3rd my first match 499 / 24 x I was thrilled--used cheapo Harris knock off bipod--so I upgrade put ARCA rail on--snagged an ATLAS--with no practice time I shot the next match and did terrible--weather has not been fun so no practice until today and I discovered the rubber feet on the Atlas have a LOT more wiggle and give than what I was using--I pulled the feet put legs right on the bench and groups went right back to happy--So...question is what feet do I need on there for concrete bench--I generally use a piece of very thin rubber yoga mat under my bipod--no free recoil here just a 22
I want it to be rock solid--I plan on shooting match tomorrow with no feet
So are the Atlas ski feet the way to go? Or is there another I might consider? I swear I was thinking of just sticking a half inch of wooden dowel inside the leg and cutting it off so they would ride flat on the bench
Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I would shoot the match with the cheapo bipod until you can figure out what adjustments are needed with the Atlas bipod.

stick with the first bipod that you did so well with. If its not broke don't fix it

Cautionary tale
rebs was correct I "fixed" a thing that was not broken
I messed around with the Atlas, got a nice used Sinclair rest--messed with bags on it--used big front sand bag--Aggg!! The ammo and Time I have wasted has been a shame.
I went back to my $30 Amazon bipod direct on the concrete yesterday and wham! I am back in business whacking 10's and counting x's
The Atlas with the ARCA mount was too high even at the lowest setting ( for our clubs bench height)--the rest worked like a dream with a 3 in bag rider on my stock but you guessed it that bag rider was not legal in my clubs factory rifle rules
I got the Amazon bipod it has a ratchet lever too--all for the price of the Harris lever only
Dang cheapo thing works fine This actually has less fore and aft movement than others I have tried
On the low setting it is amazing--like all others when extended all the way up it is like a tall ladder so I have been blocking underneath it to keep legs at minimum extension

I never liked how much the stock atlas feet wiggled on a bench. I use lra bipod feet on my atlas and really like them.
