UTG Reon Flex II Bipod

A traditionally constructed bipod mounted to a rifle’s QD stud typically protrudes about 2" below the stock, resulting in a bulky profile not ideal for shooting off bags or a pack. Gunmakers recognizing this limitation have begun integrating mounting points on each side of the fore-end, allowing the attachment of independent bipod legs.

One company that provides a streamlined configuration and reduces bulk is Leapers, with its UTG Recon Flex II Bipod. The design is available in a variety of lengths and compatible with either M-Lok or KeyMod interfaces, which features legs that attach using a pair of slots at the 3- and 9-o’clock positions.

Aluminum construction keeps weight to 11.3 ozs. total, and each length-adjustable leg features a one-piece locking slider that secures it in one of five radial positions.

MSRP is $95. For more information, visit leapers.com.
