Im looking at a bipod fo rmty Panthera, which has an Arcs rail. Ive already got an adaptor to pica, but would much prefer to use a straight Arca bipod- adaptors are just an extra bit to get in the eway.
Ive been through as many selllers as I can, and it seems that bar Accutak theres not a lot of therm around., I baulk somewhat at the proces they eant for them (its a bipod fo rcrying outy loud, at that price it should include a free gun!) so are there any alternatives? Something tha tfitsd an Arca rail and that I dont need a small mortgage for?
 
Maybe look at an extra leg , lots of Arca tripods available at small prices
 
I just got a Ranger tactical bipod in an Arca fitting - superb bit of kit and I don’t begrudge the £200 it cost one bit.
 
I removed the piccy QR fitting off a cheap bipod(£20 ish),and replaced it with an Arca fitting(£15 ish) off ebay,for my Saber stock Dreamline.(y)

Might have to have a look at that. Sounds like a good solution.
 
I will put some pics up when I get back to my computer. In about an hour
Full Arca clamp.If I understand the term correctly.
 
I bought 2 sizes of clamp,50mm and 30mm.
The tripod shown needs a "ball adaptor", but I was having a play.
The 30mm I adapted for Arca to Piccy rail for a handle on the Dreamline.
I've adapted another 50mm version for Arca to 255mm long Piccy rail,but I need to beef up the piccy rail a bit.
With this one,the bipod sits more or less at the end of the Dreamline silencer.
Shorter version in the pics.
Arca clamps-
50mm item number 334662934106 £18.60 for two.
30mm 394663102697 £8.92 each.
These come with a base plate.
255mm length of piccy rail £20odd.

If I had a milling machine,I would make an adaptor to accommodate the "step" in the bipod "base" which would be better.
An alternative way would be to file the step off which would make it lower.
It is working fine as is so far.
Touch wood.
Sorry about the poor picture quality.
Hope this helps.(y)

Very clever. I might have a go at that
 
I put a mini picatinny rail on the end my Panthera front rail and used a picatinny bipod, all be it a very expensive one 😂
