At SHOT Show 2025 UTG Pro released the Goliath bipod. This is a heavy-duty bipod designed for PRS, bench rest, and F/class shooters. The Goliath is notable for its extra low 6-inch stance when collapsed. Like all UTG Pro gear, this bipod is made in Michigan, in the good ol’ USA.

CVLife really needs a better name for this bipod. The new CVLife Light Weight 360º Swivel & Tilt Bipod is pretty much a knock-off of the Magpul MOE Bipod save for its name. Like the MOE, the CVLife bipod is with an aluminum alloy frame, covered with blade-like polymer telescoping legs.
The CVLife’s legs give little resistance from it’s stowed position, allowing you to quickly deploy the legs by swinging them downward where they lock into position splayed out below the rifle. Pressing down on the metal button at the top of the hinged leg, unlocks the leg to swing and fold it back for stowage.
The polymer legs have a locking button allowing each leg to extend out along index stops of the the legs metal core. Each leg has a soft rubberized foot pads which are not changeable or adaptable for spikes. Between the legs is a wide knob which loosens the ball joint allowing the bipod to tilt and swivel a full 360º.
The CVLife bipod comes in your choice of black or FDE brown. CVLife sent me a Picatinny 1913 mounting version to test. They also make an MLok and rifle swivel stud attachable version.
In my testing I found the bipod to be stable and quick to deploy with a little practice. It doesn’t have any spring loaded action unlike their knock-off Harris bipod or spring extending legs found in UTG bipods. But the simplicity is often more reliable. That said, I can not as yet report on the durability of the unit but it does appear to be better built than CVLife’s knock-off Harris bipod.

At the Harris Engineering booth at last year’s SHOT Show I got a sneak peek at a prototype of a direct attach MLOK bipod they were developing. This year, they introduced this attachment option to their entire swivel bipod line. This bipod allows you to attach their battle proven bipods onto any MLOK compatible hand guard, drastically lowering the profile of their normal swivel bipods. This new bipod is available on their website and through their online retailers.

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.
