We have had some demand for a lighter weight bipod and as such have added to our range.
We have shaved approx 550 grams off our original design. This one will come in at approx (but no more than) 1.2kg.

We are still producing the original, this is just for those wanting something lighter, perhaps for those with F/TR aspirations. Not yet loaded onto the website but anyone interested can contact us through www.daviestriggers.com.au

Adam Davies.

Nice work Adam, looks like an update to the one I have! Your making it easy to shoot both FS and F T/R.

PS The extra long fore-stock plate you made me worked a treat.

Thanks Ian,

We try to accomodate everything and everyone and as you know if we dont already make it, it doesn't mean we cant or wont. We love a challenge, if you have an idea we are more than pleased to take a look and build something to suit your application. You just need to ask.

Adam.

Adam,

Well done on the fast work.

It is great to have a business that puts the needs of the shooters first, and one that will accept a challenge.

I cannot wait to get my hands on this one.

I'm surprised that the weight of your new bipod is so high. The ones we have been using for years supplied by SARA come in at 1070 grams and there is plenty of room left for lightening. I think 750 grams would be quite achievable.

Malcolm.
The actual weight is under 1.1kg but when you are working so close to minimum weight and considering the metallurgy of materials can vary, it does not pay to quote a weight that might not be achievable. Sure we can make it lighter by reducing dimensions and by reducing thickness of materials -- but that's not feasable. We are not about who can make the lightest bipod-- we are about making one that is dimensionally large enough to give sufficient height and sectionally small enough to reduce weight and still give stability.
I think 750 gms would be achievable also if you use titanium.

She looks rather sexy on my rifle.

I am now legal F/TR weight.

Many thanks Adam, for your great service.

just looking at various bipods from around the world, this one looks as good as any, in workmanship and design.
of interest is that davies does not seem to be into price gouging, making as good an item as any better value.
onya guys.
bruce moulds.

Bruce,

I absolutely agree on that one.

Good design, Good value, and definitely no price gouging.
The basis of a successful business.

You missed the main one - unremitting helpfulness.

Thanks, Adam.

Hi Guys, there is an article about bipods in the latest edition of Target Shooter Magazine at the following link www.targetshooter.co.uk

From this article, they have not seen the Davies Bipods, both the original and the new version, but what they show are similar in design and construction.

You can get this magazine every month for free, just register your email address and they do the rest.

The main thing about Davies as a brand, is their willingness to produce what the customer needs, without all the bullshit so many come out with.

Well done Adam, keep up the good work.

I have a Davies, brilliant bit of work to say the least, anyway I was at a gun show recently and there was a similar bipod made out of some sort product supposedly similar to kevlar, looked like bakelite but harder, anyway they were wanting $400!! for it, I thought interesting but happy with my Davies.

Anybody possibly know what that black material might be, can be drilled, machined and finished probably with the same ease as aluminium, but a harder material. The fittings were steel and brass and possibly ABS plastic.

Tman,
The material is probably Carbon-fibre.
Yes, I would back one of Adam Davies Bipods any day and I will purchase one in the near future. I use and love his Triggers.
And yes, he is great to deal with.

I had a look around and found out what this material is
It is called Acetal Copolymer and has very interesting properties, but I will still stick with my Davies
