| What type of rifle does a bi pod affect for accuracy? I can see the barrel attachment,but what about hand guards and other furniture? |

Bipods don't so much effect accuracy as they shift POI. Your 3 MOA rifle may still shoot 3 MOA when you use a bipod, but expect your groups to be a little (or maybe a lot) higher. I know the FAL guys recommend removing the bipod for a more consistant POI. Now unless your barrel is free floating, a bipod can cause a POI shift. Doesn't matter if it's on the handgaurds or not, if the handgaurds are attached the barrel, it's possible for the bipod to cause a POI shift. How much, I can't claim to know. What I don't understand is how using the bipod on a FAL can change POI from where it would be if you were holding the handgaurds with your hand or resting them on sandbags. Either way you're applying upward pressure on the barrel, right? |
