MidTen Sling Swivel Stud Bipod for Rifle - Lightweight Aluminum

In this review the MidTen Sling Swivel Stud Bipod is evaluated as a lightweight, quick-install bipod aimed at hunters and shooters who want a stable rest without adding bulk. The single biggest reason to consider it is the balance between low weight and adjustable stability: at about 0.88 lbs it keeps the rifle maneuverable while offering six height positions and multi-angle folding legs for uneven ground. The design favors easy sling-stud mounting and a traceless, silicone-padded base that protects finishes, making it a practical choice for field use and range sessions.

Key Features

• Lightweight construction: Aluminum and polymer build keeps the bipod to roughly 0.88 lbs for minimal added weight on the rifle.
• Quick sling-stud install: Self-locating stainless steel clasps and a rotating bottom knob allow fast attachment and secure locking to a sling swivel stud.
• Traceless pad base: Over-molded silicone pad on the connection point helps prevent paint or finish damage when mounted.
• Adjustable height: Six height positions let the center height vary from about 7.5 to 10.5 in to handle different shooting positions and terrain.
• Non-slip feet: Rubber pads on the wrapped legs provide grip on rough or wet surfaces and improve stability on bumpy ground.
• Sling-ready: A rear sling loop allows the shooter to retain sling functionality while the bipod is attached.

Who It's For

The MidTen bipod suits hunters, target shooters, and plinkers who prioritize a low-weight, quick-mount support that does not permanently modify the rifle. Its sling-stud attachment and silicone pad make it especially useful for rifles with painted or finished forends where users want a traceless connection.

This is less appropriate for shooters who need a heavy-duty, precision-match bipod for long-range benchrest use or for rifles with nonstandard studs that require an adapter, since the package does not include an adapter and some users reported mixed locking durability depending on rifle fit and forend shape.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Very light at around 0.88 lbs, so it keeps the rifle maneuverable in the field.
• Easy to install and remove with self-locating stainless steel clasps and a rotating knob for alignment.
• Silicone-padded connection minimizes trace and protects finishes while providing a secure hold.
• Six height settings and multi-angle legs allow leveling on uneven terrain.

Cons

• Build quality feedback is mixed; some users report warped forends or lock issues on certain rifles.
• No adapter included, so rifles without a compatible sling stud may need an extra purchase.
