It just dont work me old son , the kick you get from a springer makes it worse when you try to use a bi-pod . Your better off holding a springer softly and letting your body `absorb ` the kick rather than hold it real tight , which makes it worse .

No your not stupid it's normaly the action of breaking the barrel on a springer that would defeat the object of haveing a bipod directly in the cocking arms way, right smack on the forend, unless you have a side lever or some under levers.

Buster's bang on.

 

A springer must be allowed to recoil the same way each time or your shots will be all over the place.

 

It must be rested on something soft to allow this otherwise you're p***ing into the wind.

It's all to do with the way they recoil, mate.

 

They must be allowed to do it in their own way or they're crap!

I have a bipod on my Ruag 57 side lever, this is a very heavy carbine, kicks like a muel but still holds target out to 35yards, same on my full bore 50 BMG now I would not shoot this without bipod.

Thought I better add you are quite right they do play funny games with the forward inersia of piston & spring & then at the end of comprresion stroke, don't want to be kicked off.
