Harris vs. Atlas bipod

[Zach O]

Aluminum coefficient of expansion is roughly 12X10^-6 in/in°F. Steel is about half that at 6X10^-6 in/in°F.

Assuming the rail is 6" long and the temp change from when you installed it to some heated state is 60°F, the aluminum rail will expand 0.0043". The steel barrel will expand 0.0021". Theoretical slip is 0.002" or so. A delta of 60° is pretty huge. You'd have to have assembled it at 70°F and be shooting at 130°F, but it's not impossible.

Man! I was thinking the same thing!!

I'm not terribly concerned with the weight savings. I don't plan on carrying it any further than from the truck to the firing line.

That's how it starts. Next thing you know, you're looking to share a ride to Raton.

For the Wichita Lineman , neither.

At least at Raton you won't have the lightest or heaviest rifle . You will have to carry that big bitch for a few miles though

Not me. I don't carry anything more than a few yards.

[Spdu4ia]

You can put wheels on it and wheelbarrow it.

If it was easy, girls could do it.
