The Caldwell XLA HD TAC Bipod, ARCA/Picatinny (brand part no. 1215377), is a heavy-duty bipod built by Caldwell for shooters who run full-weight precision and tactical rifles hard. It mounts straight to any ARCA or Picatinny rail with no adapter plate required, deploying to a 6 to 9 inch shooting height for prone and low bench positions. Caldwell built the frame from heavier-gauge materials than its standard-duty XLA bipods, so it holds steady under recoil from magnum and large-format rifle calibers. A quick tensioning lever locks in cant adjustment for leveling out on sloped ground, and the spring-loaded legs snap open to preset heights with a single push of a button.
