How do I attach the Hawke Fixed Bipod 6-9" to my rifle, and can I still use my sling?

The Hawke 70001 attaches directly to a standard rifle sling swivel stud without requiring any additional rail adaptors. It also features an integrated bottom loop so your firearm sling can remain conveniently attached while the bipod is mounted.

Does this fixed bipod model work well on uneven outback terrain or slopes?

Because this is a fixed-base model that does not tilt or swivel, shooting on sideways-sloping ground requires you to manually adjust the leg heights individually. If you frequently shoot across uneven terrain, you may want to consider Hawke's tilt or swivel-tilt series instead.

Will the 6 to 9 inch height range be suitable for shooting in long grass or outback brush?

The 6 to 9 inch adjustment range is ideal for clear, flat prone positions and benchrest shooting, but the 9-inch upper limit restricts its use in tall grass, heavy brush, or steep uphill angles. For those conditions, Hawke recommends stepping up to a 9-13 inch model like the 70002.

Does this manual bipod require any electrical compliance certifications for use in Australia?

No electrical compliance certifications such as SAA or RCM are required, as the Hawke 70001 is a completely manual, non-powered mechanical firearm accessory. It contains no electronics and does not require a 240V power source, making it ready for outback use straight out of the box.

Rifle Bipod - Hawke 70001 6-9 Inch

The Hawke Fixed Bipod 6–9" (Model 70001) is a lightweight mechanical shooting support engineered to provide a rigid, low-profile resting platform for rimfire and centrefire rifles. Constructed from high-grade aluminium alloy with a matte black anodised finish, this bipod clamps directly to a standard rifle sling swivel stud without the need for mounting adaptors. It features an integrated lower mounting loop that allows the firearm sling to remain attached during use, alongside padded contact surfaces that protect the rifle forend from marring.

Key Features

Spring-Loaded Adjustable Legs: Fast-deploying notched legs extend quickly between 6 inches (15 cm) and 9 inches (23 cm) to achieve proper shooting height.
Rigid Fixed Base: Non-swivel, non-cant design provides a firm, immovable platform ideal for consistent prone and benchrest shooting.
Non-Slip Rubber Feet: Textured rubber footings deliver positive grip on hard benches and flat ground surfaces.
Direct Swivel Stud Attachment: Connects securely to factory sling swivel studs and includes a secondary attachment loop to retain sling functionality.
Lightweight Carry Profile: Weighs 288 g (10.2 oz), minimising added forward weight during mobile hunting and stalk-and-carry field use.

Who is the Hawke Fixed Bipod 6-9" for?

Prone precision rifle shooters — Delivers a rigid, low-profile base that extends from 6 inches to 9 inches (15 cm to 23 cm), locking the rifle into a repeatable, immovable shooting position on flat terrain without the play introduced by articulating joints.
Benchrest zeroing shooters — Offers a firm 6-inch minimum height setting with non-slip rubber feet and padded forend interfaces, stabilising the rifle on shooting benches while keeping overall firearm weight manageable at just 288 g.
Varmint hunters shooting from flat terrain — Adds only 288 g (10.2 oz) of forward mass to the rifle stock, deploying quickly via spring-loaded legs up to a 9-inch elevation for stationary, prone field shots.

Less suitable for: Target shooting in tall grass, heavy brush, or steep angles exceeding the 9-inch maximum elevation threshold (where a taller 9–13" bipod is required), or shooting across uneven, sideways-sloping terrain that necessitates a tilt or swivel bipod design for dynamic levelling.
