Browning BLR-Bipod

[Pheasant Hunter]

Is there a bipod that will fit on a Browning BLR that anyone has experience with?

I tried Harris Bipods but no specific mention of a adapter for the BLR.
The adapter for the Remi pump/autos might work with some hardware changes, but until a guy saw one he cant be sure.
FWIW: the 2 piece stock on a BLR makes it a crappy candidate for bipod use. A bipod out on the end of the forearm will torque the forend into the barrel resulting in a POI change. Or if shot with the bipod folded up just hanging off the stock a POI change will go the other way.

Better off looking at shooting sticks or a telescoping monopod.

Dick, I use bipods on my 2 piece Encore stocks all the time. No change in POI.

Well I know with my BLR that even on the bags if you change from close to the receiver to out at the end of the forend you get a change of impact.
The BLR's have a Barrel band, which I'm pretty sure the Encore does'nt
I have no experience with the Encore's and perhaps how the stock is attached to the receiver is different. But on my paticular BLR it changes in the order of about 4" at 100yds.

I didn't say anything about a BLR Dick. You commented on a two piece stock and I was simply pointing out that not with all two piece stocks did change in POI occur.

Said nothing about 2 piece stocks in general, only specific to the BLR.
