Many Chinese made bipods get a bad name – but lately, there have been some great advancements made in quality and functionality. I’m glad that they included a large Pod-lock handle for the swivel clutch adjustment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Twod<\/g> Rifle Bipod 6-9 Inch review<\/h2>\n\n\n\n![\"Twod](\"https:\/\/survivaljar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/clone-bipod.jpg\")
<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nMost bolt action rifles have a sling stud whereas tactical automatic rifles such as the AR15 have a Picatinny<\/g> rail. The good thing about this Harris clone bipod is it includes an adapter to suit an automatic rifle that only has a Picatinny<\/g> rail mount. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe main reason I picked this Twod adjustable 6-9 inch bipod from Amazon<\/a> for my Tikka T1x .22 rifle is that it is a Harris style bipod. Harris has a great name in the bipod industry and they make a very heavy duty swivel bipod.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"Twod](\"https:\/\/survivaljar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/twod-bipod.jpg\")

Many gun owners rave about the genuine Harris bipod and I see them all the time out at my local rifle range. The only problem is that they are starting to get expensive as they are made in America.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nThe 6-9 inch Twod Bipod for sling mount, on the other hand, is much cheaper and has gone through a few upgrades. The main features I love are as follows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fully extended leg height:9″\/226mm<\/li> - Large quick adjustment swivel tension leaver<\/li>
- Lightweight construction at 10.1oz<\/li>
- Aluminum and steel construction<\/li>
- Rubber removable feet.<\/li>
- Spring swivel return to center assist.<\/li>
- Heat shrink covered springs.<\/li>
- Way cheaper than the famous Harris Bipod<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
What I like about this sling stud bipod clone<\/h3>\n\n\n\n![\"Harris](\"https:\/\/survivaljar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/extend-bipod.jpg\")
Rifle bipod mount 6-9 inch with leg extended<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nThere are a few special upgrades on this hunting bipod that sets it out from the rest of the shooting sticks. The addition of a large pod lock is a great feature which we will cover later in the article.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The springs are covered in a flexible heat shrink which stops dirt getting into the springs and causing noise when the legs are deployed. I also like that it has an extra sling ring so you still have the option of attaching your rifle sling onto this bipod.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The spring assist notched legs are a great addition so you can get that perfect height for your rifle. There are 6 individual settings spaced 1\/2 inch apart (6mm)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are wanting to upgrade your Harris or Caldwell bipod pivot thumb screw to a pod lock setup, then you will have to purchase a new Pod Lock from over at Amazon<\/a>. You will need the following tools to do the upgrade<\/p>\n\n\n\n- 1\/4 inch socket<\/li>

Remove the 1\/4 inch bolt on the thumb pivot knob and unscrew it anti-clockwise. Now we can install the new pod lock using the supplied spacer. It is really that easy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
