Blackhawk Sportster Pivot & Traverse Bipod 6-9 in | 71BP09BK

Description

The Blackhawk Sportster Pivot & Traverse Bipod is one of those pieces of gear that earns its spot in the field by doing two jobs most compact bipods only do one of. You get both pivot action and horizontal traverse in a single unit, which means your rifle can lean to level out on rough ground and swing side to side to follow a target without you breaking position. It attaches by way of a standard sling swivel stud, so getting it on most bolt guns and hunting rifles is quick and painless.

What Sets the Sportster Pivot & Traverse Bipod Apart

Blackhawk built this one around the Harris-style design that plenty of people already trust, then added the traverse feature on top. The horizontal traverse lets you track a moving animal or shift from one target to the next without repositioning the whole rifle, while the pivot keeps your crosshairs level when you're set up on a slope or a lumpy bench. That combination is the main reason folks reach for this model over a plain fixed bipod.

Build and Adjustment on the 6-9 Inch Bipod

The legs are tubular metal with a black anodized finish, and they run on spring return, so a quick pull extends them and they snap back when you're done. Height dials in anywhere from 6 to 9 inches, which puts it right in the sweet spot for prone shooting and lower bench work. A rapid-adjust lever lock lets you set and hold leg length fast, and the rubber feet bite into dirt, wood, and most surfaces you'll set up on.

Who Gets the Most Out of This Blackhawk Bipod

This is a solid match for prone target shooters, varmint hunters, and anyone who spends time at the bench and wants a stable, repeatable rest without hauling around a heavy tripod. It's light enough that it won't throw off the balance of your rifle, and the two-axis movement makes it far more versatile than its compact size suggests.
