Mounting a bipod
I have a synthetic stock cricket. What are your opinions on mounting a bipod. Should I use a stud for the Harris style or is it better to mount a section of picatinny rail for the atlas style. Also any techniques or tools that are helpful for mounting hardware into the synthetic cricket?
Thank you for your help.

Are you nuts uncle Hoot? This car is trashed I just uses it as a hide and worked great as a hide. Inside has been gutted long time ago
The outside of my truck looks like this. Just making sure uncle your good and straight now. Its not a nice as Zonks truck but I like it.

If you would spend less on your Atlas bi-pod, you could afford a nicer car!!!!
Good grief man….at least get that bitch “detailed”!
I completely disagree as I find the Atlas features invaluable. Try this with any other pod. Sitting in old car and taking out pests

I’ve owned both. The Atlas is over-complicated. It has too many adjustments.
The legs have different forward angles notches that do little more than the up/down notches in a normal bi-pod”s legs used to raise or lower the muzzle height. I don’t want a swivel on a bi-pod because that seems to defeat the stability effect the bi-pod gives the gun. The Atlas not only swivels left to right, it also swivels 45 degrees up/down on both sides, as well as front and back. The end result, to me, is like balancing the rifle on a ball bearing. Any movement of your hands/arms is immediately transferred to the bi-pod, and the sight picture is suddenly moving around in your scope.
This is the one I currently use: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00AQH2M44/ref=oh_details_o08_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
It has square legs, rock solid, tiny but fully adjustable to 9″, and it can be mounted in multiple ways. It has a built-in quick detach picatinny mount, so I can take it off/on as I please. The little rascal has been rock solid and I very much recommend it to anyone considering a bi-pod.
The synthetic stock is quite solid and tough. You should have no problem installing either.
The question is do you want to put a $100 Harris or a $300 Atlas. I went for the first and I like it, but I don’t have an Atlas to compare to.
Awny
It was an interesting movie. I liked the ending.
Hoot:
I guess the rail system would be most useful. I have a rail that has a steel plate that sandwiches the rail between stock. You couldn’t get that loose if you tried. Got my rail from atlas when I bought bipod

IDIOT!!!!
That’s not a truck…that’s some kind of unconscious pigeon, lying under a Cricket bullpup! A truck is a big metal thing that you sit in, and it goes “Vroom Vroom“.
Geez….must I explain EVERYTHING to you people???

PS: Buy yourself a new scope before you spend any money on a workable truck. Taping your’s up like that isn’t going to hold, and it’s accuracy will go to hell. You probably broke the damn thing when you wrecked that junker truck you drive and shoot out of. You called it a “hide”…well I don’t blame you. If my truck was that ugly, I’d hide it too!!! Looks like you took a lot better care of the outside of your truck than you did the inside. It looks gutted! What did you do, try to cook in there, or something?
