Description
Galaxy M82 Bolt Action Sniper Rifle Bipod (G31)
This is a bipod for the Galaxy M82 bolt-action sniper rifle, model G31. The Galaxy M82 is a large, spring-powered replica styled on the famous .50 calibre Barrett rifle, and a bipod is an essential part of the look and of how the rifle is used.
It is supplied as the bipod only, without additional attachments, so it is ideal as a replacement if the original has been lost or damaged, or as a spare for a rifle bought second-hand without one.
Why use a bipod
The M82 is a long, heavy rifle; retailers list the Galaxy G31 at around 1.4 metres and 3kg. Holding that weight steady offhand for any length of time is tiring, and even a little movement at the muzzle shows up at long range. A bipod takes the weight of the front end and gives a stable rest when you are lying prone or resting on cover, so you can concentrate on your aim and trigger control instead of holding the rifle up.
Using it
Deploy the legs when you take up a firing position and settle the rifle so both feet are firmly planted. Lean very slightly into the rifle to take up any slack; this helps keep it steady between shots. Fold the legs away when moving so they do not snag on undergrowth.
Key features
- Bipod for the Galaxy M82 sniper rifle (G31)
- Steady support for prone and rested shooting
- Replacement or spare part
- Supplied without additional attachments
Compatibility
Made for the Galaxy M82 (G31). It is not a universal rail bipod, so it may not fit other M82 replicas or other rifles. As it is supplied without attachments, check how the bipod fits your rifle and whether you need any mounting parts from your original before ordering.
Care and maintenance
Wipe the bipod clean after muddy or wet games, paying attention to the joints and leg hinges, and let it dry before storing. A drop of light oil on moving joints now and then keeps them working smoothly. Check that fixings are tight before each game.
Who is it for?
This bipod suits owners of the Galaxy M82 (G31) who need a replacement or spare bipod, and anyone restoring a second-hand rifle to full working order.
