National Match Quadrail vs SASS Handguard

I think with the Aluminum hand guard, I intended to mount a rail section on the bottom to mount the bipod. If using a prone position, would I need a longer bipod?

Lebben, how do you feel about Grip Pods? Again, I think the bipod is something I'd have to go see in person at a gun shop to see which one I like.

No, I don't plan on putting anything on the rail other than a bipod. I think I've settled on the lightweight round aluminum handguard from Armalite.

DMR stands for Designated Marksman Rifle.

Some folks like Grip-Pods, but I'm not one of them. Our DMR's were issued them during our deployment to the 'Stan, a gift from one of the bright idea fairies at Brigade. Within 6 weeks, there were four Grip-Pods taking up space in my platoon connex because my shooters had gone back to Harris'.

IMO, a Grip Pod is heavier and harder to adjust for uneven ground. The models we were given could not be adjusted for cant and would not pan. When used as a VFG, it tended to pop open.

Bottom line: A hybrid is an object that does two jobs, neither one of them very well.

Extra height in a bi-pod is useful when shooting prone because it allows for a greater range of adjustment if the target is substantially higher than you.

My thanks for the answer...sorry to sound dense...alittle out of touch these days...LOL
If you are not in a Hurry for this...shortly there will be a New FF handguard on the Market for the AR-10s...I myself don't even know quite what it will be...but I am sure it will be top notch...so again...if you want to wait a couple of weeks...you might have another choice to look at...
