gasram + bipod?!

[danbow]

Hi all,

Haven't been around for a while, but I've just been handed a 45 acre permission so its time to dust off my Theoben Fenman.

Obviously I will make sure I can still shoot on target before I go out but I have a question.

I know you can't really use a bipod on a springer but is it the same on a gasram? I've heard from some that you can and some that you can't so has anyone got any real world experience of using one?

As it recoils like a springer the same results from using a bipod apply, it will be crap.

Agree pretty much. The advertising of the time used to state that the action was so fast that the POI remained unchanged. Like much advertising it was wide of the mark, much like the pellets.

I tried a solid rest on mine, which should broadly replicates a bipod's effect, and the results were poor. 30 yard groups opened up and were 2+ inches above and slightly to the left (I'm lefthanded) of the unrested group.

OK, thanks guys.

Anybody wanna swap a Fenman for a full PCP setup?

recoiling rifles will shoot off a bipod if you put it on soft ground with a firm hand on top

I have shot centerfires this way with good results

with airguns it must also be possible, a short stroke/fast cycle will help, not sure how 'quick' a fenman is though..

A Fenman is really fast.., don't think it would work very well though.

What me need is a memory foam bipod with playdough feet attatched with elastic bands
