Feyachi is known for making budget accessories that look suspiciously like other products (as does their logo). But it’s not a copy of a Harris bipod, because Harris doesn’t currently make a direct-connect M-Lok A1 bipod. If this isn’t a clone, then is this an improvement?
While the adage, “You get what you pay for” usually applies for durability and ruggedness, for 99.9% of shooters who only use a bipod at a range shooting bench, this Feyachi is good enough. Paying 3 times more for a Harris isn’t going to make them better shooters; certainly not 3x better.
I mounted the bipod on my Ruger Precision Rimfire and tried my best to break it (the bipod not my rifle) under normal use conditions. I opened and closed the legs, popped and retracted the leg stems and banged it about testing to see if the locking mechanism would fail or anything would shake loose. Passed.
At the range, I extended the legs almost all the way out and fired about 50rnds of 22LR downrange. I found it to be a very stiff and solid platform. It was level and I felt no noticeable flex or play while aiming. Overall, I was pleasantly surprised by its performance. As with many Chinese made knock-offs, it remains to be seen if it will last. I’ll update this review in a few months.
