Bipod on Spring Rifles


Recommended Posts

I'm planning on installing a bipod on my Diana 52. Will it affect my groups??

 

I know that supporting a spring rifle or holding it in anyway is a bad idea as far as accuracy is concerned. But I know several shooters who swear by the accuracy as long as I dont get rubber tipped bipods and stick with the plate tipped bipod legs (This allows the gun to recoil..)

 

Also, Diana sells a bipod for the 48/52/54 models. Of course that could be a sales gimmick.

 

But what I want to know is, has any of you tried one on your spring rifles??

 

Thanks!!

My lad has one on his Gamo, it will almost certainly shift your point of impact compared to holding the gun and initially will probably have you shooting all over the place. Most people give up at this point and say how useless they are. Persevere, hold the gun consistently on the bipod and groups will improve...I suspect you will decide they are an advantage eventually!!

Hi. Mohamed. Spring guns need a consistant hold and as long as your 52 can recoil happily you should get good groups from your rifle with a tripod. I had one of these on FAC (32ft lbs with crosman premiers .22) a long time ago and it was a cracking gun. You must remember though that if you zero your gun from your tripod, your shots will fall elsewhere if you're not useing it, as the weight or the gun is resting (or not) on the tripod and therefore much further forward than if you were holding it yourself. Try shooting from a sitting position instead, if you're looking at longer ranges. So long as you hold the gun lightly you should find your zero point will stay the same as other positions. Good luck!
