    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle.

    Nice looking. What brand of bipod is that and how did you mount it?

    Exclamation Caldwell Bipod and Rail Adapter

    Thanks!
    That's a Caldwell "Benchrest Model" bipod (with 6" to 9" click-stop extendable legs), and it mounts super-easy, using a simple, easy-to-install rail adapter, as available here: (Harris*Bipod*Adapter*for*Rail*::*Accessories*::*Ch ampion*Shooters*Supply*LLC ).

    Note that the adapter comes in two versions, one for Anschütz-specification rails, and another version for Freeland/Winchester-specification rails. The Kimber 82G rail is Anschütz-spec.

    Thanks for the reply. Is the bipod flatter than most where it contacts the rifle stock?

    Sorry, I can't answer that since I don't have others to compare it to.
    I can tell you the bipod has two 'contact' pads on the upper surface, parallel to the rail, and each pad has a thin, shock-absorbing cushion of what seems to be either very firm rubber or sligthly pliable plastic. You could go eye-ball one at Academy Sports, Cabela's, or Bass Pro Shops, probably. The model is the Caldwell XLA series, with varying lengths of legs being the main differences among them.

    I know that the Kimber stock is wider and flatter than some rifles. Just wondered if the contact of the bipod was close to the stock.Thanks

    Oh, okay. I see your concern, and I can answer that positively: Yes, the contact is solid; 100% of the bipod mounting surface is engaged totally with the wood. With the tension adjustment, the bipod and the stock become as one. It is a rock-steady platform.

    You just have to remember to also tighten up any slack on the separate rotational adjustment knob (for leveling the relationship of the bipod mount and its two legs relative to the stock, for positioning on uneven surfaces) to make it absolutely firm all-around.

    A Better Picture?

    Just had to add this one. I think it shows the nice grain a little better.
