I bought an FC 5 gen 2 after watching a guy use one at a match. Love the pan feature, it allows you to transition to the next target much easier and quicker than your traditional bi-pod. Right away I noticed a difference in stability as well. Excellent bi-pod and very stable. I didn't want to pay that much, but in the end I think its worth it. Good video!
@Imbear: thank you for sharing your experience and thoughts on this Bipod and how you felt that the cost was worth it. I’m Canadian and have been a C5 quadriplegic for ~30 of my 52 years from a spinal cord injury and REALLY NEED the strong lateral support and pan that you’ve described in your comment. Information such as like this video AND comments with constructive feedback such as the one you’ve shared really help to make a decision. I still can’t decide because I’ve got a Tikka T1x in a Boyds "At One" stock, and I don’t know if an ARCA rail would fit it! I think it’s time for me to phone Paramount Tactical!!
I called a few weeks ago about questions on an order and talked with your wife, she was very helpful!! I'll be ordering more stuff from paramount tactical in the future. I'd rather support business like this than douchey ones like Cabalas
Very well explained quick review on the excellent Accutac range. As a CNC machinist myself I can see the quality with Accutac and personally own three of them. Thankyou Paramount Tactical.
Been needing to upgrade my garbage Harris to something way more advanced. Found you page a few days ago and haven't stopped. I am a novice RPR 6.5 shooter and have watched most of the vids for these and for arca rails...sold sold sold!!!! Great content, no bias just real talk. Thanks for your hard work putting this content together.
@@stevep1794 I’d only go with FC4 if you’re shooting a magnum caliber. If not, definitely go with PC4. The PC4 is more compact but still wider and more stable than just about anything else available. It handles magnum calibers fine too.
Thank you thank you for the most concise no fluff review. I am on my second set of bipods and still not happy with the amount of front loading pressure required to fight recoil movement because of slop in the legs and adjusters when locked in. I have been looking at these for awhile and needed a proper review and you folks nailed it!
This is the first time I have watched one of your videos and I really like your break down of the various Atlas models. I first saw an atlas about 8 years ago and I agree that they are probably the strongest, most stable and best featured bipod for shooting from prone positions. I have also used Atlas, Harris, MDT, Magpul and Spartan. I like the Spartan for light weight hunting, but for true stability and precise shooting, the AccuTac bipods would get the nod. About height, for hunting, the 5 models might be better than the 4 models, but for bench, tactical/prone, etc. the 4 models would probably be better. When a bipod has a Cant feature which can't be locked, this can be problematic in certain situations. I see that the AccuTac Cant feature can be locked, so it is the best of both worlds (just with a bit more weight). Which Bipod are the PRS and NRL: I would guess the SR-5 without Cant feature as i heard that wide stance bipods can get hunt up on some of the barricade rests? Thanks for the great presentation.

I need a heavy duty bipod for a Ruger RPR .338 Lapua Magnum I recently purchased. I almost grabbed the first thing I saw (a Magpul) at a local Cabelas, but decided to do some research first. Only recently heard about AccuTac. Looks like what I need for PRS. 👍
Well an AccuTac will work great for your .338 and it will work for PRS. Are you planning on using your .338 for PRS or do you have a different rifle set up for that?
@@friskywildthing brother, you CAN shoot PRS with .338 but it’s far from the ideal round. Most guys will be running 6mm’s. The direction you want to go with PRS is the least amount of recoil possible. Most people would tell you to truly be competitive even 6.5CM is too much recoil. I’m not trying to discourage you and if that’s all you got, go shoot it and have fun but .338 is far from ideal for any PRS/NRL type matches.
@@paramounttactical I originally wanted a .50 BMG, but it wasn't in the budget when I decided on the RPR. I could shoot PRS with a 5.56 like my Daniel Defense DDMV4-18", or one of my other rifles. I'm also considering an AR 10 platform in the future. One reason I chose the Ruger was because it's recoil is reportedly mitigated by the muzzle brake design and barrel weight. I just ordered a scope and rings, so I haven't even shot it yet. I can handle the weight, even the recoil, it's the ammo costs that's gonna keep me up nights. Ouch. I was checking out accessories on your website. That's quite a selection. I'm pretty much set on getting an Accu-Tac bipod soon as I decide on which one. I'd love to sign up for your courses. I don't shoot nearly as often as I used to, and I want to change that.
If you are in the market for an Accu Tac bipod and not sure which one to get then I encourage you to call these guys. Summer was a big help and explained to me the difference between each model. The information for each bipod on the Accu Tac website is not helpful.
No, there’s picatinny rail and Arca rail. Arca rails are much better. I go over there difference in this video. How To Choose The Best Bipods For Long Range, ARs, Hunting, and General Use ruclips.net/video/Un7Es12G5tw/видео.html
I have decided to get an fc-4. it is for my day state alpha wolf. Where do I get one? I was told by cyclops to get an Accu-tac and don't look back. I would like to buy from you.
You sell Versa? I used them quite a bit and prefer them. In Afghanistan they were very useful because they are simple and don't have a ton of stuff you don't need.
I’ve used them. They’re good and definitely better than Harris but if you ever used an Acc-Tac and then a Versa… there’s no comparison. Thanks for watching! -Gary
Hey Folks. A lot of the same features are on the Protean bi-pods (and I love the Protean deployment, turret/pan movement and cant). I can load my Protean XT (model I have) and am happy with that, but there is leg 'slop' (the nature of the connections) when not loaded. Would you even compare the two? Any other thoughts?
Lol, we’re a Protean bipod dealer and have a video on them. I do think they serve different purposes. Protean are great for lightweight SASR rifles and Mil/le lightweight sniper rifles. They’re amazing bipods and I talk to the owner/inventor of them all the time. Thanks for watching! -Gary
No. It’d be cheaper and you’d be better off adding a section of ARCA rail to other guns. Arca mounts have more surface area and are a far superior mount compared to picatinny. I’ve added Arca rails to all my ARs and other rifles that don’t have it. I cover that in depth in this video. Best Rifle Upgrades and Accessories - Optimize Your Rifle To Do It All! ruclips.net/video/5IQEzWx-wb0/видео.html Thanks for watching! -Gary
What setup is best for quickly removing the bipod? I’m new to all this. I just don’t always want the extra weight on the end unless I’m shooting from a bench rest.
Either are a great choice. You won’t regret either. I always say if you ever plan to pack them away in a pack for hunting, go with the PC4 given they’re more compact, if not, go with the FC4.
I bought the SR-5 G2 I bought it with the picitinny attachment instead of the arca rail but my Masterpiece arms rifle has a spigot with either and a built in arca rail on the chassis but I was confused because they call it a rat rail 🤷🏼♂️
I’m not 100% sure I understand your question but you can buy Accutac bipods with either Arca clamp or picitinny. We’re an Area 419 dealer and I can tell you the Arca version works perfectly with the Area 419 Arca rails. They don’t have the additional rods that lock into the teeth of the Area 419 Arca Lok rails but when properly adjusted they lock onto the rail perfectly with no slippage. Let me know if I answered your question correctly. Thanks, Gary
@@paramounttactical Area 419 has their Arcalock clamp that can be installed on a harris bipod or a Atlas bipod. Their bipods can be purchased without a clamp and you install the clamp of your choice. Does Accutac have that option? Thanks! Joe
@@hangarpilot1895 no sir they don’t, but the clamps they come with don’t slip regardless its an Arka Lok rail or a standard arca rail even on high recoil guns. In my mind that’s an fairly expensive solution, or at least an additional expense for problem doesn’t exist. But as with all Area 419 gear, they are nice. Thanks, Gary
The accutac web sight shows all models without the “Bidge Cuts” that the model you are showing …….did they stop lightening the pods with the cuts? ……..I would have bought a pod because of the added apperance of the cuts but no more…..
I wouldn’t recommend any 300WM given all the newer, better modern rounds like 7 PRC or 300PRC. As far as a rifle goes, I’d recommend the MPA PMR Pro II. The Ultimate Long Range Rifle? - MPA Custom Rifle ruclips.net/video/qANuDCUHbgI/видео.html
Any of the Accu-Tac line would be a good option for your AI. It’s a matter of determining the features that are important to you. The BR line is a little more geared toward bench rest so they’re lower and their height maxes out pretty quick. The other models allow you to angle the legs so you can get as low as the BR-4 but they can also can get more elevation out of the legs if you need it. Being more of a tactical long range rifle, if it was mine, I would want something that can pan left and right for engaging moving targets or to easily transition to additional targets. But… that may not be something you need or want. If you’re mainly shooting off a bench, BR4 is an excellent option. If you want something that pans, I would suggest the FC4 or PC4. Hope that helped and didn’t muddy the water more than necessary on your decision making process. Let me know if you have any other questions. -Gary
Do you have any that pan and tilt? I'm Not to good with tech talk.I want one that moves left to right and able to put the barrel at 12 & 6 o'clock.Do you have any that moves like that?
We have several that pan. It’s all covered in this and other videos as well. No tech talk and easy to understand. You’ll have to decide which best suits your needs.
The bipods are not rifle specific. If it has a picitinny rail or an Arca rail, or can be fitted with either then they are compatible. Thanks for watching! -Gary
The Cross is lightweight so if you want to maintain that I’d go with the PC4, PC5 if you want to be able to pan. If being able to pan isn’t a big deal to you, you can go with the SR5. But… given it is lightweight, a heavier bipod would help reduce recoil and muzzle rise. If I’m mainly shooting static, I’d put the larger FC4 or FC5 on it. Any of those will be good options. Thanks for watching! -Gary
@@paramounttactical ok so there is 2 different PC-4 and so one is out of stock. What is the difference of the 2 of them. PC-4: Arca Spec QD Bipod PC-4 Bipod
@@joelubiscojr.6094 one attaches to an Arca rail and one attaches to a picatinny rail. My recommendation would be to to get an MLOK Arca rail to put on your Cross and buy the Arca Spec. Arca is a much better mount than picatinny.
I’d recommend the PC4 for that rifle if weight isn’t a huge consideration, meaning if you don’t plan on humping it around a lot. If you would like a longer option and are willing to compromise a little on stability and a lack of ability to pan left and right, I highly recommend the MDT Grind Pod. I’ll link that below. I haven’t gotten around to doing a video review but it’s excellent for the price. MDT: www.paramounttactical.com/product/grnd-pod-bipod/ Another great option is the Protean XTX and XTXA. I’ve done a review on the older models and plan on doing a review very soon on the new models. These are extremely good and innovative bipods and very lightweight. They deploy fast, pan left and right, one handed adjustment, cant/level, amazingly good bipods but they are a little pricey. Here’s a link to check those out. www.paramounttactical.com/brand/protean-innovations/
@@paramounttactical I just bought a LMT 6.5 MWS as my first long range precision gun ever and wish I'd seen this video sooner since I stuck (soon to be removed) magpul mlok bipod on it. If all I'm interested in is bench or prone which would you stick on it?
If you don’t mind slightly more bulky go with the FC4. If you want a slightly smaller form factor go with the PC4. They’re both so stable I don’t think anyone would ever see a performance difference. Thanks for watching! -Gary
MPA rifles which we’re a dealer for have an integrated ARCA rail in the chassis. You need an Arca mount on your bipod. Here’s my full review that covers all the features. It’s on Rumble because CommieTube took it down but I have several other videos on MPAs on my channel as well covering new features and other aspects of the rifle. rumble.com/v26rh26-definitive-review-masterpiece-arms-pmr-pro-ii-best-long-range-precision-rif.html Thanks for watching! -Gary
They’ll all work and work well. It’s just a matter of which features are important to you. If you want to pan left and right, get the FC4 or PC4. If panning doesn’t matter get the WB4 or SR5. Thanks, Gary
Watch this updated video where I discuss MLok attachments. How To Choose The Best Bipods For Long Range, ARs, Hunting, and General Use ruclips.net/video/Un7Es12G5tw/видео.html
Concepts and Solutions is to tactical company names what a boy and girls names are to kids clothes and toys manufacturing companies. Good video though. Very good info.
Arca spec is commonly found on competition rifle chassis while 1913 or Picatinny is more common on tactical rifles. Arca rails are roughly twice as wide as pic rails and don't have the same notches either. Arca Swiss mounts are commonly found on photography tripod heads, which allows you to mount your rifle on larger tripods for standing shots. Because there are no notches in the design, you can also slide the bipod or tripod head along the rail to balance it. Basically, arca spec is for high-end competition rifles that occasionally mount up to full-sized tripods, while non-arca is more common and usable on a lot more rifles that use standard Picatinny rails.
Thanks. I convey what I think is important and not interested in compromising on that to simply shorten a video. There’s a slider at the bottom or of you double tap the right side of screen it fast forwards. But I assume your advice is well intended and I appreciate it. Thanks, Gary
I mean it's obvious if you're selling the product you're going to say you want to carry your product You're obviously not going to sell something but recommend another brand so saying that you went through all the other brands and determine yours was the best It's like pointless to say that's obvious Magpul is always going to say Magpul
I don’t own Accu-Tac… We’re a training company that retails some items. I actually sell another brand of bipods too. Did you listen to the intro? “Gary here with Paramount Tactical Solutions”. Also the channel is Paramount Tactical. So yes, I can and do sell other brands.
@@paramounttactical My apologies I jumped to conclusions I should have watched the whole video instead of skipping through it I've never seen your videos before I googled this bipod and yours review popped up and I skim through it just watching a couple parts of how it functioned so again I apologize for jumping to conclusions
🙄 we only carry high quality, mostly American made items that we’ve tested and can recommend. We are actually much lower than many outlets selling the same items. If cheap gear that doesn’t last or perform is what you want, we’re not for you, and that’s ok. Cheers -Gary
@@dataykhan I hear you and so was I. They’re amazing bipods that are unbelievably well made and made in USA and will last a lifetime.

@@paramounttactical i think you just ignored my question i am talking about accu tac bipod price on yours site and on optics planet i think now you can give me better answer. Thanks
@@dataykhan well you should try using full sentences and communicate a complete thought. I’m not a mind reader and you provided no context. A few things: A) As an authorized dealer we have a contractual obligation to not advertise below mandated Minimum Advertised Prices. Why OP is not adhering to this is unknown and will be reported to Accu-Tac tomorrow. B) Optics Planet has a bad habit of saying something is in stock when it’s not, so after you order they email you indicating this and that they expect to send you your order months down the road. We had a client contact us just today saying this and then ordering from us. We have integrity and don’t do business that way. C) If you use the discount code in the description of the video, that discount puts us in line with OP pricing and unlike them, if the site says it’s in stock, it is. Thanks, Gary

This is a great video! Your details are all spot on 🤌🏼 Thank you so much! We appreciate you and enjoy working with you guys! This will be great to share to our followers!
So a couple weeks ago I watched your video on how to mount your optic and make it level. Made everything level and then I went and bought a Accu - tac BR-4 G2 and installed it and now my optic is not level anymore. Don’t know what the problem is.
I’m not sure what you mean here. When your gun is level your optic isn’t? If that’s the case then your optic was never level or it got knocked loose. The bipod doesn’t affect whether or not your optic is level. It can determine if your gun is level.
This is the best general review/overview of each of the AccuTac bipods on the Internet. Great job!

I have decided to get an fc-4. it is for my day state alpha wolf. Where do I get one? I was told by cyclops to get an Accu-tac and don't look back. I would like to buy from you.
paramounttactical.com/brand/accu-tac/
Thanks and cyclops is right! -Gary
You sell Versa? I used them quite a bit and prefer them. In Afghanistan they were very useful because they are simple and don't have a ton of stuff you don't need.
I’ve used them. They’re good and definitely better than Harris but if you ever used an Acc-Tac and then a Versa… there’s no comparison. Thanks for watching! -Gary
Hey Folks. A lot of the same features are on the Protean bi-pods (and I love the Protean deployment, turret/pan movement and cant). I can load my Protean XT (model I have) and am happy with that, but there is leg 'slop' (the nature of the connections) when not loaded. Would you even compare the two? Any other thoughts?
Lol, we’re a Protean bipod dealer and have a video on them. I do think they serve different purposes. Protean are great for lightweight SASR rifles and Mil/le lightweight sniper rifles. They’re amazing bipods and I talk to the owner/inventor of them all the time. Thanks for watching! -Gary
Do they have a switchable attachment where you can switch from Picatinny rail to Arca? That would be an awesome option to have.
No. It’d be cheaper and you’d be better off adding a section of ARCA rail to other guns. Arca mounts have more surface area and are a far superior mount compared to picatinny. I’ve added Arca rails to all my ARs and other rifles that don’t have it. I cover that in depth in this video.

I have a accu-tax hd50 with a nut to attach to the pictanny rail. Is there a throw lever I can get to upgrade for easy on & off my rifle?
What setup is best for quickly removing the bipod? I’m new to all this. I just don’t always want the extra weight on the end unless I’m shooting from a bench rest.
They’re all quick release.
Too many to choose from! 😂. I’m stuck on the FC 4 and the PC 4.
Either are a great choice. You won’t regret either. I always say if you ever plan to pack them away in a pack for hunting, go with the PC4 given they’re more compact, if not, go with the FC4.
Hi, which model is the best for PRS? thanks
Probably either the FC4 or 5 and the PC4 or 5
I bought the SR-5 G2 I bought it with the picitinny attachment instead of the arca rail but my Masterpiece arms rifle has a spigot with either and a built in arca rail on the chassis but I was confused because they call it a rat rail 🤷🏼♂️
Hey Gary. Does Accu-Tac have a version that you can use a different head on? Like the Area 419 arca rail system?
I’m not 100% sure I understand your question but you can buy Accutac bipods with either Arca clamp or picitinny. We’re an Area 419 dealer and I can tell you the Arca version works perfectly with the Area 419 Arca rails. They don’t have the additional rods that lock into the teeth of the Area 419 Arca Lok rails but when properly adjusted they lock onto the rail perfectly with no slippage.
Let me know if I answered your question correctly.
Thanks, Gary
@@paramounttactical Area 419 has their Arcalock clamp that can be installed on a harris bipod or a Atlas bipod. Their bipods can be purchased without a clamp and you install the clamp of your choice. Does Accutac have that option? Thanks! Joe
@@hangarpilot1895 no sir they don’t, but the clamps they come with don’t slip regardless its an Arka Lok rail or a standard arca rail even on high recoil guns. In my mind that’s an fairly expensive solution, or at least an additional expense for problem doesn’t exist. But as with all Area 419 gear, they are nice.
Thanks, Gary
@@paramounttactical Hey Gary thanks for the reply!
whats your take between PC5 and WB5 for a kind of one-for-all purpose but mainly for bench and prone long range shooting. thanks
PC5 - best all rounder IMO
The accutac web sight shows all models without the “Bidge Cuts” that the model you are showing …….did they stop lightening the pods with the cuts? ……..I would have bought a pod because of the added apperance of the cuts but no more…..
When are you getting the shirt Gary is wearing in XL??

What would you recommend for a Ruger precision 300wm
I wouldn’t recommend any 300WM given all the newer, better modern rounds like 7 PRC or 300PRC.
As far as a rifle goes, I’d recommend the MPA PMR Pro II.

I meant bi pod for a 300wm
@@KingKong-jm1kn either the FC4 or the PC4 will work perfectly!
Hi. Would the BR-4 G2 a good
Option for an Accuracy International AT-X ? Thank you
Any of the Accu-Tac line would be a good option for your AI. It’s a matter of determining the features that are important to you. The BR line is a little more geared toward bench rest so they’re lower and their height maxes out pretty quick. The other models allow you to angle the legs so you can get as low as the BR-4 but they can also can get more elevation out of the legs if you need it.
Being more of a tactical long range rifle, if it was mine, I would want something that can pan left and right for engaging moving targets or to easily transition to additional targets. But… that may not be something you need or want. If you’re mainly shooting off a bench, BR4 is an excellent option. If you want something that pans, I would suggest the FC4 or PC4.
Hope that helped and didn’t muddy the water more than necessary on your decision making process. Let me know if you have any other questions.
-Gary
I don’t think you could have done this video without her .
💯 True story.
Like all real man, the wife is the boss.
Any options for a QD attachment for the hd-50 to a arca mount?
I'm kind of bummed they do not have the WB-5 with pan capability.
The PC4 and PC5 are pretty much the WB with pan. Thanks for watching! -Gary
Do you have any that pan and tilt? I'm Not to good with tech talk.I want one that moves left to right and able to put the barrel at 12 & 6 o'clock.Do you have any that moves like that?
We have several that pan. It’s all covered in this and other videos as well. No tech talk and easy to understand. You’ll have to decide which best suits your needs.
Do they make a SR-5 for a del-ton DTI Sport AR?
The bipods are not rifle specific. If it has a picitinny rail or an Arca rail, or can be fitted with either then they are compatible.
Thanks for watching! -Gary
What Accu Tac would you put on a sig cross 6.5
The Cross is lightweight so if you want to maintain that I’d go with the PC4, PC5 if you want to be able to pan. If being able to pan isn’t a big deal to you, you can go with the SR5. But… given it is lightweight, a heavier bipod would help reduce recoil and muzzle rise. If I’m mainly shooting static, I’d put the larger FC4 or FC5 on it. Any of those will be good options.
Thanks for watching!
-Gary
@@paramounttactical Thank you so much I will go to your site and order one. PC4 is what I will go with to pan
@@paramounttactical ok so there is 2 different PC-4 and so one is out of stock. What is the difference of the 2 of them.
PC-4: Arca Spec QD Bipod
PC-4 Bipod
@@joelubiscojr.6094 one attaches to an Arca rail and one attaches to a picatinny rail. My recommendation would be to to get an MLOK Arca rail to put on your Cross and buy the Arca Spec. Arca is a much better mount than picatinny.
@@paramounttactical thank you. I will order it tomorrow. Will there be anything I will need to mount it on the cross
FC5 & 4 look neat. Could I get a suggestion on an accutac bipod for an LMT MARS-H .308/6.5 cm please? Thank you!
I’d recommend the PC4 for that rifle if weight isn’t a huge consideration, meaning if you don’t plan on humping it around a lot. If you would like a longer option and are willing to compromise a little on stability and a lack of ability to pan left and right, I highly recommend the MDT Grind Pod. I’ll link that below. I haven’t gotten around to doing a video review but it’s excellent for the price.
MDT: www.paramounttactical.com/product/grnd-pod-bipod/
Another great option is the Protean XTX and XTXA. I’ve done a review on the older models and plan on doing a review very soon on the new models. These are extremely good and innovative bipods and very lightweight. They deploy fast, pan left and right, one handed adjustment, cant/level, amazingly good bipods but they are a little pricey. Here’s a link to check those out.
www.paramounttactical.com/brand/protean-innovations/
@@paramounttactical great, thank you for the suggestions! I will check them out.
@@paramounttactical I just bought a LMT 6.5 MWS as my first long range precision gun ever and wish I'd seen this video sooner since I stuck (soon to be removed) magpul mlok bipod on it. If all I'm interested in is bench or prone which would you stick on it?
Which one for the seekins hit 6.5prc do you recommend panning and cant
If you don’t mind slightly more bulky go with the FC4. If you want a slightly smaller form factor go with the PC4. They’re both so stable I don’t think anyone would ever see a performance difference.
Thanks for watching!
-Gary
Is that a mpa Arms Rifle. If so how does bi Pod mount ro Rifle did you need rat mount for bi pod
MPA rifles which we’re a dealer for have an integrated ARCA rail in the chassis. You need an Arca mount on your bipod.
Here’s my full review that covers all the features. It’s on Rumble because CommieTube took it down but I have several other videos on MPAs on my channel as well covering new features and other aspects of the rifle.

Does anyone know which model would work best on a Bergara B14 HMR in .308?
They’ll all work and work well. It’s just a matter of which features are important to you. If you want to pan left and right, get the FC4 or PC4. If panning doesn’t matter get the WB4 or SR5.
Thanks,
Gary
@@paramounttactical Thanks for the reply. Does the FC4 and PC4 allow you to cant as well as pan?
@@dmarkj22 yes

How To Choose The Best Bipods For Long Range, ARs, Hunting, and General Use

what is the difference between arca and non arca bipod?
Arca spec is commonly found on competition rifle chassis while 1913 or Picatinny is more common on tactical rifles. Arca rails are roughly twice as wide as pic rails and don't have the same notches either. Arca Swiss mounts are commonly found on photography tripod heads, which allows you to mount your rifle on larger tripods for standing shots. Because there are no notches in the design, you can also slide the bipod or tripod head along the rail to balance it. Basically, arca spec is for high-end competition rifles that occasionally mount up to full-sized tripods, while non-arca is more common and usable on a lot more rifles that use standard Picatinny rails.

I don’t own Accu-Tac… We’re a training company that retails some items. I actually sell another brand of bipods too. Did you listen to the intro? “Gary here with Paramount Tactical Solutions”. Also the channel is Paramount Tactical. So yes, I can and do sell other brands.

Thanks
@@dataykhan well you should try using full sentences and communicate a complete thought. I’m not a mind reader and you provided no context. A few things: A) As an authorized dealer we have a contractual obligation to not advertise below mandated Minimum Advertised Prices. Why OP is not adhering to this is unknown and will be reported to Accu-Tac tomorrow. B) Optics Planet has a bad habit of saying something is in stock when it’s not, so after you order they email you indicating this and that they expect to send you your order months down the road. We had a client contact us just today saying this and then ordering from us. We have integrity and don’t do business that way. C) If you use the discount code in the description of the video, that discount puts us in line with OP pricing and unlike them, if the site says it’s in stock, it is. Thanks, Gary

This is a great video! Your details are all spot on 🤌🏼 Thank you so much! We appreciate you and enjoy working with you guys! This will be great to share to our followers!
So a couple weeks ago I watched your video on how to mount your optic and make it level. Made everything level and then I went and bought a Accu - tac BR-4 G2 and installed it and now my optic is not level anymore. Don’t know what the problem is.
I’m not sure what you mean here. When your gun is level your optic isn’t? If that’s the case then your optic was never level or it got knocked loose. The bipod doesn’t affect whether or not your optic is level. It can determine if your gun is level.
