Bi-pod for the Mosin?

[Quinc]

Tired of screwing with sandbags. What do you guys think of the barrel mounted bi-pods on your Mosins? Or better yet is there anything that clamps through the sling mount?

Considering this one:

don't clamp anything to the barrel. it will throw off the harmonics and make it less accurate.

Just say no.

If you want something better than a sandbag, consider this instead of a barrel-mounted bipod that might affect accuracy.



I just got one, on sale for $31.99 until the end of the month http://www.midwayusa.com/viewProduct...tNumber=682659

The one you link to will scratch the barrel. If you can find one that is supported by the stock, go for it, but I don't know of one offhand.

This^^^^. Just use a field expedient rest like a ruck or backpack filled with towels. Works just fine.

Heck even a pair of shooting sticks will work, or you could do a tripod with three pieces of wooden dowels and some 550 cord.

honestly how much will a clamped bipod to a 7.62x54 throw the harmonics off??? ive had mine clamped to barrel going on years and it shoots just as accurately or straight as when it came out of the box.... mosin m44 scoped with this exact bipod http://www.sksstocks.com/UTG-Tactica...-tl-bp08s-.htm

An exception to the general rule is... well, an exception.

How about a bipod mounting unit for the bayonet lug? Like this one for the Mauser 98

Mosins don't really have a bayonet lug, at least not like a Mauser's.

M39's do. I took a clamp on (that RUINED accurracy due to harmonic distortion on my Hakim) and fabbed a new top plate for it to fit on an M39 bayo lug. It works, but it just adds more weight to an already heavy rifle. When I hunt with it, I just use my backpack for a stable rest in the prone.
