What Benchrest Bipod for an Anschutz 1761 MPR?

[Slowshot]

I have recently purchased an Anschutz 1761 MPR. Mostly I will shoot it from a rest but I would also like to shoot this rifle from the bench with a bipod. I have never fired an Anschutz with a bipod. I have a Harris bipod for my sporter rifles. I do not see it as something appropriate for the Anschutz.
I would particularly like a bipod that will hook up directly to the Anschutz rail on the underside of the rifle's forearm, with no modification or added adapter, if such a thing exists. If not, what adapter(s) would work best?
With that and assuming I am disabled and always shooting with some kind of forearm support (on or off the bench) what bipod or bipods would you recommend for my new rifle?
This is not necessarily for any purpose other than solo practice and/or friendly benchrest competition.

Sinclair makes a nice one IMO...

If you want to keep it simple, the Mystic Bipod from EGW is very stable. I used one for a while before I changed to a JoyPod.

Mystic Precision Bipod MPOD Manufactured by EGW 3.125"

bipod, f-class, f class, lightweight, accurate, adjustable,

According to the manufacturer, the T nut on this bipod will work with an Anschutz rail.

There are adaptors you can get for the Annie rail that will work for a Picatinny connection.

If the bipod does not work out, I used a 3" "ski sled" on a 64MPR I had that's readily available and fits the OEM rail. I still have mine in a box, just saw it the other day along with some other stuff the new owner didn't want. LOL

Bad information. I use it on several factory Anschutz rails. You can also buy additional (3 or 4 inch bolt on slot/rails) that fits onto a rifle using the sling swivel hole and a screw (you furnish the screw) and you can use the same bipod on other rifles without the rail. Excellent system. IMO...

Thanks for the suggestions. I found a guy in Canada who makes exactly what I was looking for. His name is Henry Rempel. He was suggested by several shooters on different sites, including Topstrap on this forum.

Can't figure out your comment- how is it bad info?

 

[1Merlin]

Chris the pictures I posted show the Mystic Bipod and the T nut actually installed into an Anschutz rail. Whomever told you the bipod will not fit was incorrect - hence the comment about bad info. Perhaps I am overlooking something obvious... But the Mystic with the T nut fits all of My Anschutz rails and works perfectly.

No disrespect intended.

I exchanged e-mails with Henry Rempel and was ready to buy one of his fine bipods. Though the price is pretty high for my limited budget, I was ready to bite the bullet and pay. Then two issues showed up. First was the final price delivered was about $200 more than I had expected, based on what another shooter who has one said he paid for his. Then Henry needs the buyer to have a PayPal account, which I don't.

I am not blaming Henry for the misunderstandings on a final delivered price and my issue with PayPal. Nor am I arguing his bipods are not worth his price. I just cannot afford his price at this time. As to PayPal, I have avoided PayPal ever since it was hacked and all the information on PayPal accounts ended up on the dark web in 2022. You can look that up.

So now I called Freeland and ordered one of their adapters (over the phone) to allow my Harris bipod to be attached to the rail on my Anschutz. No, it is not a Rempel adapter but it is costing me about $15 with shipping and will be good enough for my use.

Every once in a while, I take a deep breath and ask myself what am I doing and why. This was one of those times.

The price I provided on RFC was the price I paid a year ago. However, mine was without the American Defense picatinny rail adapter that had to be ordered separately, as we discussed. Last I heard you were considering going with one of his proprietary mounts. Could that be where the price difference occured?

I replied on RFC too. It was all an error in judgment on my part. Henry's bipod is certainly worth his price. I just failed to consider shipping, taxes and other needed gear. When I saw the final cost, I took a deep breath, apologized for wasting Henry's time and walked away from the deal. No problem really. The research I did on this idea was an education for me and a wake up call.
