Mystic Precision FTR MPOD – 12.8ozs INSTALLED

The MPOD is DONE….   The first production batch is finished and have shipped to preorder customers.  These are just some quick pics to show the new look.  Very happy with the quality of machining and fit.  There were some subtle changes and I think it has worked out very nicely.

Custom Rem 700 Shilen 223Rem, AI stocked customer rifle – Thanks Paul for the great pic

The MPODs are made from aircraft grade aluminum with quality steel hardware and lugs for durability and a long life.  The exterior is a milspec  hard Anodizing which not only looks great but will stand up to lots of normal use.

The biggest surprise was with the changes we made, the installed pod now weighs 12.8ozs installed (as pictured).   This makes the MPOD the lightest F class suitable pod I am aware of. By comparison, a Harris BR – S 6 to 9″ bipod weighs 13.8ozs on the same scale

If you want to save even more weight, you can swap in bolts for the knobs and that will cut another 1.5oz off the total!!!

The MPOD is designed for forends up to 2.55″.  We can custom make spacing wider or narrower.  Other custom features like longer legs, different feet, stronger design (orig supported 200lbs but still only weighed 20ozs), etc are all possible.

Ease of assembly and use have been retained. Stability and Strength will exceed anything an F class shooter (most shooters for that matter) will need – the MPOD easily supports a 50lbs rifle.  No problem with bigger boomers either.

The lowest height is 4 1/2″ suitable for bench work and raised berms when shooting prone

At full elevation, you have 7 3/4″ to the mounting lug.  For most rifles, you can shoot on a flat surface and still get into a comfy position.

Best part, the MPOD gets a wider footprint for improved stability the more you raise the pod.  Most ski pods pull their legs in to raise the rifle.  That makes the rifle even more tippy.

Uneven ground?  The MPOD can handle a 4″ difference between legs and still stand.

Stores flat in your rifle case making it easy to get to and from the range.

MOUNTING OPTIONS: NOTE: Red MPOD below is our preproduction version.

Will work with both commonly found T slot rails ie Choate and Anschutz/Savage stocks

Swivel Stud adaptor now available.  Will need 2 holes in stock. We can custom make the rail spacing to fit your stock if it has dual stud holes.  $20 with purchase of the MPOD.  Add a Harris rail stud adaptor to retain the use of a sling.

Adaptor for Picantinny rail mounting now available – $20 with purchase of POD

Adaptor for Remple pod can be ordered for $15 with purchase of MPOD

MPOD Design Goals:

• Improved geometry to reduce the affects of torque during recoil for consistent tracking and follow through
• Easy to operate with large range of movements to account for varied terrain.
• Easy to install and remove -  Solid with great repeatability and accuracy potential.
• Stability increasing with increased pod height which is opposite to a number of designs.
• Keep finished weight as low as possible – 12.8ozs installed, yet strong enough to support heavy rifles and big boomers
• Keep Price at the low side of competitor products.
• Custom options like wider forend spacing, longer legs, even stronger design (orig supported over 200lbs), etc possible

We have certainly met and exceeded all of our design goals.  The range of movement covers a huge range of terrain. The pod is easily removed by loosening one central knob and sliding off the rail.  When clamped, it is fixed and will not move during recoil. As to the accuracy potential, we will let the videos speak for themself.

INSTALLED WEIGHT  12.8ozs.  Harris BR – S 6-9″ weighs 13.8ozs on the same scale.  That makes the MPOD one of the lightest pods you can use on an F class rifle.  More weight for barrels, scopes and stocks.
