Prevent bipod bounce on concrete bench?

[Kracken McGraw]

If you’re bouncing, it’s recoil management. I went through this as well. In my opinion it’s part shooter and part chassis/stock design and adjustments.

Also I’m not a fan of bench shooting no matter what they’re made of.

But if you’re married to some bench, why not go all in and get the whole bench setup?

If you’re wanting the ability/option to shoot in a realistic practical environment, which is what the bipod indicates, where you are a larger part of the equation, then shoot like that all the time. Prone, bipod, bag.

Bipods on benches, in my opinion, are not ideal. If you master it, it’s doable. Train how you intend to shoot. I see hunters on sight in day shooting off benches and think it’s counterproductive.

I use these on my concrete bench. I’ve not noticed any “bipod hop” and my heavy rifles (with Henry Remple bipod) track/recoil silky smooth. A word of caution though…they WILL leave a sticky residue on concrete benches when/if you peel them off. Had to scrape a bunch off a bench after a match once to stay in the owners good graces . I’ve left mine permanently fixed to my concrete bench at home and it’s stayed right there through rain, snow, ice, etc…

To Stop Bipod Bounce get a Bathroom Memory Foam Mat at Wal-Mart or Dollar General, it Will Stop the Bounce off a concrete bench , I use a 12" x 24" Mat

It really about how you load the bipod, along with the rubber on the feet. I shoot my 338 with an Atlas bipod, I do use a bath towel, it does help as well. Getting the all the stock comb height along LOP set also makes all the difference in recoil management. Stay away from the Harris. That was the first bipod. Seating height will also change things.

Muzzle brake or can will also improve recoil motion.
