Saiga 7.62 rifle & Bipod - question

[dphouse]

Hey guys,

I'm having some difficulty locating a bipod that will mount to my Saiga 7.62 rifle. I've tried the UTG clamp on bipod, but it wasn't sturdy enough. I bought a UTG swivel stud mount bipod, but that didn't fit/work with the swivel stud on my rifle.

Can anyone recommend a bipod that will mount to my rifle?

Thanks,
ns

Does the QD sling stud you have look like the type in the link below?

If so, then any Harris bipod will do the trick for ya'. Harris is quality stuff.

Yes, the stud looks more or less like the one pictured. However, it's the diameter of the existing stud on my Saiga that was the problem with the UTG bipod adapter.

Do you know if the Harris bipod will fit/work for sure?

[GeoffLinder]

What is the diameter of the stud you have? If it's anywhere from 3/8 to 7/16 you are fine.

[dphouse]

diameter is a little more than 1/4 of an inch, almost 5/8's.

OK, if it's about 3/8" and has the hole in it (like the one in the link), then any Harris bipod will fit.

Pricey stuff! I'll try and source one at the next show.
