[QUOTE="Bullet bumper, post: 872863, member: 17844"] You can't remove any weight as the recoil will get even worse and accuracy suffers from that . The rest type has to accommodate the weight and that's it as far as I can see. Carting a big BR type rest around in the field is not fun , OK on a range or for a fixed position not far from the truck . I still think a lot of the problem is just the bi-pod connection system , the basic design and material strengths . It's made for lightness not rigidity and does a fairly good job considering everything . Also when the bi-pod is down on the lowest notch it does not stand over enough ground to brace properly and when it's up higher it's looser in the legs . That's why F class bi-pods are so wide but they are bulky . I am in two minds at the moment . Either try an Atlas or put that money into building a custom one . Decisions decisions ? [/QUOTE]
