Pretty Much Everything You Wanted to Know About MDT Bipods
Mar 6th 2025
Shooters, specifically hunters, stand to benefit greatly from the addition of a high-quality, high-performance bipod to their rifles. Granted, a bipod will add weight, but the advantage of a stable shooting platform that it will offer, especially on uneven or uncertain terrain, is worth the extra few ounces.
Among the best bipods in the industry are MDT bipods, like the Gen 2 CKYE-POD and the GRND-POD. These bipods are engineered to deliver maximum value and performance; this post will cover just a few of the features and traits that make that possible.
More Adjustability Than Any Other Bipods on the Market
MDT bipods offer the greatest range of adjustability over all other bipods on the market. Select models feature adjustable locking pan and cant - making it possible for you to accommodate uneven terrain, and even track a target while keeping the rifle stable and ready for the shot.
They are also available with multiple different styles and lengths of legs, ranging from only a few inches to as much as 36” extended.
Rapid Deployment and Single-Handed Adjustments
MDT bipods like the GRND-POD can be deployed with one hand, and adjustments to height, pan, and cant can be made with one hand, making them extremely versatile and quick to get into action while you’re in the field.
Go Light, or Go Heavy
Both lightweight and heavy-duty MDT bipods are available. On the latter end of the spectrum, you have models like the Heavy Duty CKYE-POD, which is made from tough anodized aluminum with a durable, rugged construction, and on the other, there are lightweight models like the lightweight double pull CKYE-POD, which starts at only 20 ounces.
Built Tough
The hallmark of MDT bipods is construction from durable, anodized aluminum that is not only lightweight, but which rivals the strength of other, much heavier alloys. The anodized finish adds to the wear-resistant and general durability of these bipods, as it adds a whole additional dimension of chemical resistance.
Locking Legs
MDT bipods such as the GRND-POD feature legs that can be locked in 4 positions - 0°, 50°, 90° and 180°, so you can deploy the rifle from basically any position, as needed by the circumstances.
MDT Bipod Feet for Any Terrain
Certain MDT bipods like the GRND-POD are compatible with interchangeable feet, such as those produced by ATLAS bipods. Conventionally MDT models come with proprietary spiked feet that offer solid traction on effectively any terrain, whether it’s loose earth, sand, gravel, or even rock, snow, or solid ice. No matter where you venture, your MDT bipod will be ready to offer you a stable shot regardless of ground conditions.
Single, Double and Triple Pull Options Available
Depending on what you need in a bipod, MDT offers a variety of single, double, and triple pull models that are adjustable in height. If you prefer to shoot prone, a single pull bipod is probably your best bet. A double pull model offers adjustability to shoot prone as well as sitting or kneeling, whereas a triple pull model offers the greatest flexibility of all, with some models sporting legs long enough to allow you to shoot from a standing position. The other benefit of longer bipod leg length is that the higher they are adjusted, the more effectively you can shoot at an upward angle - not just downward.
You Can Shoot from a High Position
Depending on the legs with which your MDT bipod is equipped, it will be able to let you clear the ground by as much as 36”, which is more than enough to shoot from a standing position. This gives you a far greater deal of flexibility with aiming and shooting than most other bipods on the market, and the profile can still be collapsed and slimmed down considerably.
A Variety of Mounting Configurations and Compatibility
Regardless of the mounting points your rifle offers, MDT bipods are likely compatible. Select models are compatible with both Picatinny and ARCA mounts, as well as BTC and M-LOK mounts. You can also mount them to sling stud attachment points if your rifle has one on the forend.
A Smooth Tactical Look and Feel
The last piece of the parcel is aesthetics, and MDT bipods have that covered. Not just with a sleek anodized aluminum finish, they are tumble deburred to provide a smooth tactical look and feel.
