Caldwell XLA Pivot Bipod for Long Range

[@hiredgun3098]

I thank you for showing how this works. I just bought my first LONG RANGE rifle and it came with one of these never used one of these before. Hood or bed of truck. Sandbags or deer stand rail but no bipod

[@bobheale2521]

Sub'd. It's nice to see a long range guy who isn't a brand snob

[@MeesterGonzalez]

Thank you. Just came across this video today, because I decided to add a bipod to my Savage 110 High Country. Your honesty and good info convinced me to go with the Caldwell. #appreciated

[@pretoshohmoofcguy6523]

Got one, LOVE IT!

[@lolzorandome5492]

just found one of these on the shelf at value village marked 'housewares/office' 😂 they had no idea what it was. paid $5 for it. thanks to your video I figured out how to extend the legs.

[@ernestomonsivais7273]

Thank you for the help . I’m installing it on a savage axis 30-06

[@PewDieC8kes]

Best review I’ve seen so far, good job!!!

[@joeschleis2630]

cant is nice however does Caldwell make a bipod with a pivot option?

[@stephenhritz3655]

Just put the Caldwell pivot on my creedmore love it

[@nycreloader]

Just came across this video while I was looking for a new bipod. Thanks Vaughn. Spot on as usual.

[@CJRKENT7697]

I am trying to figure out which size to buy 6-9” or 9-13”.

[@lanceschul]

I am not getting any emails from my subscriptions. It's like KZbin is blocking that function. Thanks for the review. just ordered one.

[@Gazzyb2071]

Is the stud underneath the tension knob not for fitting your sling????

[@jonwightman337]

Seen & tried one out at the Range yesterday - IT'S Excellent and functions perfect... on my short order list!

[@ecpoirier]

great video. thank you for sharing your knowledge with a first time .22LR rifle owner. Time to go "plinking"

[@deanflewelling210]

They're a good company I just recently purchased a sling from them for my Ruger ranch

[@henryhester1897]

Bought one on your affiliate account. Thank you, hope it “rocks”.

[@ronnywilson6961]

i have had two of these one for warranty and they just fall off my Remmington 700 BDL i added a second sling mounting position thinking it was my sling pulling on it not the case .....they mount easy but for the life of me they will not stay in place any advice

[@purehighgrade4096]

Just got it for my savage axis 2 xp!

[@s1lentcalib3r]

How do u mount this on an ar10 with picitini rail .

[@Miketizle777]

Thanks for the video! I wanna try this before I pick up a Harris.

[@chadrides914]

I'll tell you one bi-pod never to buy; the Champion brand. After long shot strings on my 243 laying prone, the roll pins fell out of the feet, the screws loosend almost completely out of the leg/frame attatchment and overall they just suck. I thought it was just that one, but my next range trip with a 6.5mm running another Harris look alike did the same thing!! So now, I run nothing, I mean nothing but Harris. And if I switch from harris it will be an Atlas. Ive had too much bad luck with Chinesium bipods. American made. Harris. Love your vids Vaughn! Just adding my 2 cents!

[@vaughnprecision]

Chad Harzbarger I've got a couple Harris bipods, nothing against them at all. The Caldwell seem to be holding up very well and for half the cost. I know there are some really cheesy ones out there like you mentioned. I've owned those as well and the pins for the eyelet fell out, all the time.

[@Kman31ca]

Ya, I've never bought anything but Caldwell. They work great. Never had a problem with them at all. Was tempted to buy a Harris, but just can't see the reason to for the price.

[@ChaskeJohnson]

Pick up harris then pick up caldwell. Then you'll know. Usa, china

[@armageddon_gaming]

@@ChaskeJohnson which one is the chinese built one

[@SargesAdventures]

Will the pod lock lever fit this model like the Harris?

[@vaughnprecision]

Sarge's Adventures not 100% sure but it appears that it would

[@ianrob900]

I have that model but mine has fallen off while shooting rifle is a 308 just seeing if anyone has had an issue

[@danfransen1328]

I have 2 Harris bipods and thought I would give the Caldwell a try. Lasted about 2 years and I have noticed the springs are inferior in size, gauge and strength to the Harris. My Caldwell failed with the spring tension and one leg being compromised. The slightest bit of forward pressure when setting up for a stable shot causes problems. I do own other Caldwell products and have no complaints other than the bipod.

[@chavezhead]

Mine has fallen off while shooting, on my 270. I'll get up from my shooting position and my rifle falls off the bipod.

[@philiptrump8472]

Thanks man! Just bought one off your link

[@vaughnprecision]

Awesome! It really helps keep this channel going!

[@williammacey8774]

Great info on the bipod, I was needing one for my Savage 12 lrp.. nice to be able to save 60 bucks

[@johngarrie2633]

Awesome videos on the savage build 243. AI 👍🏻. What fixed power SWFA -SS would you recommend for my savage 12 in 308 cal . I am hunting in pines 🌲 and open cutovers . Shots will be 30yards out to 300yards any help would be appreciated. Thinking about the 10x42 🤷🏼‍♂️🦌

[@vaughnprecision]

John Garrie I would go 10x

[@dgunnut6550]

You may have just talked me into this as my next bipod. Does it come with a pic rail adaptor?

[@vaughnprecision]

No, you'd have to get the separate. They may offer one that has it already but I'm not sure.

[@dylang233]

The one I had broke so I bought a Harris. The Harris is more money because it is made of better material.

[@danfransen1328]

I agree, I have 2 Harris bipods and thought I would give the Caldwell a try. Lasted about 2 years and I have noticed the springs are inferior in size, gauge and strength to the Harris. My Caldwell failed with the spring tension and one leg being compromised. The slightest bit of forward pressure when setting up for a stable shot causes problems. I do own other Caldwell products and have no complaints other than the bipod.

[@marcusbenner9486]

Thinking about getting this for my dad for christmas is the pivot handle worth buying or does it work easy enough without it?

[@vaughnprecision]

Marcus Benner I think it’s fine without it personally. But I would recommend a pivot for sure

[@marcusbenner9486]

Vaughn Precision thanks, good to know, keep up the good work just finished watching the ackley series for the second time, have a 12fv in 6.5 on the way from cabelas black friday sale. $220 after the rebate, cant beat that. Love the channel!

[@pakcanhunter]

love the review.

[@chr2133624]

which rings did you use when mounting your swfa scope?

[@vaughnprecision]

I use the SWFA rings as well, but I also have some Vortex.

[@chr2133624]

Vaughn Precision the swfa rings you used did you use the medium or the low rings?

[@vaughnprecision]

Chris Ugalde medium rings

[@philliprutz8325]

I recently purchased a savage and have been entertaining the idea of creating a build similar to yours so I have enjoyed watching your videos quite a bit. They are very informative. I don't recall you mentioning the type of stock you put on that rifle, other than it being a Boyds. I like the design of the adjustable cheek piece. Which model is that from Boyds' selection of stocks? Again, I have enjoyed your videos and look forward to future videos you put out. Keep up the good work!

[@vaughnprecision]

Phillip Rutz thanks for checking out the videos. I used the Boyd's pro varmint stock then added on with the customization options they offer.

[@philliprutz8325]

Great, I will look into some of their customization options. Thanks for the timely reply!

[@darrenthorsen593]

Great video. All I care about is if it works and that it won't break. You've answered both of those questions, and I'm on my way to buy one. Thanks for the review!

[@WHOS_GRIM]

Mine just keep falling off

[@ChaskeJohnson]

Had a pair of these 10 years ago. Fell apart, no customer service. Yesterday on your recommendation decided to try these again. They would only be used for load development not for hunting. They don't need yo stand up to long hunts. I put them on my gun and leaned into them. They fell off and my $2000 rifle landed on the tile. The Chineese Keychain ring they use to keep this all together cant hold a 9 lb rig. These are made in China, no customer service. Harris are made in USA. Great customer service, good people. I own 3 pairs of Harris and have had 2 of these. These were on my gun for seconds and never again. I wouldn't put these on a 22.

[@toast1012]

very well done

[@martinaddison1461]

It’s basically a Harris with the Caldwell name my Harris works exactly the same

[@csteelerx1]

I have the same one tikka t3 love it

[@vaughnprecision]

I've been very happy with them. Never had one fail and I own and abuse about 5 of them.!

[@Jandeganjaman]

Im buying one but the link is useless for europeans i guess

[@SAVAGE308SNIPER]

It is important to put a bubble level on the rifle scope when using a bipod

[@chipaltman2709]

I agree I have 3 of the exact bipods an there the real deal....

[@billcat1840]

I just picked up one in the pawnshop for 18$..🤣...

[@stevecerda3504]

Made in China... pay the extra cash and support your country

[@99cobra2881]

Yup I don’t even call it Caldwell I call all their products Chinawell.

[@Prometheuss.cannabis.corner]

China will be the death of the u.s.

[@SAVAGE308SNIPER]

Come on, man!

[@sammysame]

Cant hear much

[@mmaarrttyyyy]

It's a cheap harris wanna be . If you take your hunting and shooting seriously spend the extra bucks and get the harris . My 40 years years of experience says you won't be sorry.

[@eatingelizabethsfrizbee]

It sucks

[@joeldonnahoo4902]

These things are crap
