ABSTRACT:
A bipod operable for attachment to a bipod mounting plate having at least one transverse slot on a lower surface thereof, the upper surface of the bipod mounting plate including attachment means operable for attaching the mounting plate to a firearm or optical device. The bipod includes a bipod mounting bracket operable for rigidly and adjustably attaching the bipod to the bipod mounting plate. The bipod further includes a pair of telescopically extendable legs pivotally attached to the mounting bracket. The pivotal attachment means is operable for manually adjusting the angle of orientation of the legs with respect to the mounting bracket between zero degrees and a preset angle of less than 180 degrees and most preferably about 90 degrees. The pivotal attachment means further includes beveled detents that enable the silent locking of the legs into the desired angular orientation.
