How do I attach the Hawke Carbon Fibre Pro Bipod to a rifle with an M-LOK handguard?

The bipod features a native quick-release Picatinny and Weaver rail mount straight out of the box. If your rifle features a direct M-LOK handguard or a traditional sling swivel stud, you will need to use an optional dedicated adapter, such as the Hawke #71050, to mount it securely.

What is the difference between the twist-lock smooth legs on model 71002 and notched leg bipods?

Model 71002 uses internal compression-sprung smooth legs with twist locks, allowing for infinite micro-height adjustments to precisely level your rifle on uneven Australian outback terrain. In contrast, notched legs offer rapid, staged drop increments, making twist locks ideal for continuous slopes where fine-tuning is required.

Is this bipod tall enough for shooting over thick Australian grass or scrub when seated or kneeling?

No, this specific model (71002) has a mounted height range of 7.5 to 11.2 inches (19 to 28.5 cm) and is built strictly for prone and benchrest shooting. For kneeling, seated, or standing positions requiring brush clearance over tall grass, you would need to step up to a taller bipod or a shooting tripod.

What terrain types are the interchangeable feet designed for?

The bipod comes supplied with both anti-slip rubber pads and steel spike feet. The rubber pads are ideal for hard surfaces, shooting benches, and rocky outcrops, while the steel spikes provide maximum bite in soft dirt, loose gravel, and turf across paddocks.

Carbon Bipod - Hawke 71002

The Hawke Carbon Fibre Pro Bipod – Smooth Leg (Model: 71002) is a lightweight rifle support engineered for precision prone and benchrest shooting. Constructed from carbon fibre with matte-black hardware, it weighs 290 g (10.2 oz) to minimise front-end weight on mobile rifle setups. It mounts directly to standard Picatinny and Weaver rails via a quick-release mechanism. Featuring smooth, compression-sprung legs with twist-lock collars, the bipod provides infinite micro-height adjustment across an 8–11" (20–28 cm) nominal range without being constrained by fixed notch detents.

Key Features

Lightweight Carbon Fibre Construction: Delivers rigid structural support at an overall weight of 290 g (10.2 oz) for minimal carrying fatigue.
Smooth Twist-Lock Elevation: Internal compression springs and twist collars allow micro-height adjustments to balance uneven terrain.
40° Tilt and Cant Adjustment: Integrated lever lock allows 40° of left-to-right cant to level crosshairs quickly on sloping ground.
Horizontal Pan Control: Smooth horizontal swivel enables shooters to track moving game without repositioning the bipod legs.
180° Leg Articulation: Legs independently lock across 7 positions, folding forwards, rearwards, or straight down.
Interchangeable Feet: Includes both anti-slip rubber feet (providing a 19–26 cm mounted height) and steel spike feet (providing a 21–28.5 cm mounted height) for hard benches or soft dirt.

Who is the Hawke Carbon Fibre Pro Bipod - Smooth Leg (20-28cm) for?

Prone pest controllers — Levels rifles on sloping paddocks using 40° of left/right cant and smooth twist-lock legs within a 20–28 cm height range.
Mobile stalking hunters — Minimises carry fatigue during long field stalks by providing a carbon fibre bipod that adds only 290 g to the rifle setup.
Rimfire and centre-fire target shooters — Delivers custom bench stability through 180° leg articulation with 7 locking angles and interchangeable steel spike or rubber feet.

Less suitable for: Shooters requiring brush clearance over tall grass from seated, kneeling, or standing positions where heights beyond 28.5 cm are required (taller 13–23" bipods or dedicated shooting tripods fit better), or rifles using direct sling swivel studs or native M-LOK handguards without an adapter.
