I've never tried, but I do wonder what it's like to shoot a recoiling springer off a rigid bipod ?

I bought one of those clip plastic/ glass fibre ones ( still have it ) cosman ratcatcher.



Tried using it as a Bipod on my Nephew's HW80k and it was very inaccurate . Tried it a few times then gave up.

I wouldn't expect much of a return of your initial investment for the bipod as it looks overpriced to start with and your market is limited. Soz

Same with most branded items though. There will be brand fans out there that pay good money for the branded parts.

Looks like a typical cheap Chinese bipod but with a Diana mount?

In fact it's no problem Jon. The secret is to copy the 'artillery hold' and mount the bipod at the point of balance of the rifle - so close to the trigger guard for most rifles. Looks odd but it works fine. Been doing this for years and get very consistent results.

Interesting thanks... As said, I've never tried.

However it would seem that the OP's bipod is not designed to support at the balance point, being forced instead to use a mounting point right at the tip of the forend

The Diana bipod is well made and designed. It mounts in a well balanced spot and works perfectly
It does not shoot from a rigid position as you might imagine as has ‘rock n roll’
I simply don’t have any sidelevers anymore

I am genuinely surprised by some of the comments on here and lack of knowledge on series of airguns that we’re influential at the time of their inception

I believe the bipod (together with a black-painted beech stock, no sights, and a muzzle weight) came as part of the package offered for a few years as the Diana 48 Black Pro about (?) ten years ago. Maybe some bipods were sold separately?

I am not a fan of bipods on anything much smaller than a heavy sniper rifle or a Bren gun. If you want to shoot prone, learn to shoot prone. Just airing my prejudice.
