Most of them make you choose between light and capable. New Zealand-based Backlanz has been quietly changing that conversation, and after spending time with two of their Precision Range bipods, it&#8217;s clear these are something different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-backlanz-bipod-video-see-the-plr-and-alpine-in-action\"><strong>Backlanz Bipod Video: See the PLR and Alpine in Action<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Backlanz builds everything in New Zealand, and they back it all with a lifetime warranty.

Both ship standard with telescopic carbon fiber legs and share the same titanium and carbon fiber construction, the same spiked feet with tethered rubber caps, and the same Picatinny quick-detach system that gets the bipod on and off the rifle in seconds with a locking lever.

One thing worth understanding about the leg length spec: both models list a 9 to 13 inch leg length range, but that number describes the telescoping leg adjustment, not the actual height range of the bipod. Because the legs can be angled forward at multiple positions, you can get the rifle extremely close to the ground on either model, regardless of where the legs are set on that scale. The real-world height range is far more versatile than the spec alone suggests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/DSC00823-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Backlanz lightweight hunting bipod leg adjustment system showing close-to-ground prone setup\" class=\"wp-image-235464\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/DSC00823-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/DSC00823-400x225.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/DSC00823-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/DSC00823-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/DSC00823.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The listed 9 to 13 inch leg length range only tells part of the story because the angled legs let the rifle ride much lower when the terrain demands it.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Where the PLR and Alpine split paths is simple: adjustability, weight, and price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-backlanz-precision-long-range-5-78-ounces-and-built-for-hunters-who-count-everything\"><strong>Backlanz Precision Long Range: 5.78 Ounces and Built for Hunters Who Count Everything<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/DSC00834-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Backlanz Precision Long Range PLR bipod weighing 5.78 ounces with telescopic carbon fiber legs\" class=\"wp-image-235470\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/DSC00834-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/DSC00834-400x225.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/DSC00834-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/DSC00834-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/DSC00834.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The PLR weighs just 5.78 ounces with telescopic carbon fiber legs standard, setting a new benchmark for stability-to-weight ratio in a hunting bipod.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The PLR tips the scales at just 5.78 ounces. For context, that&#8217;s probably lighter than your cell phone. The bipod achieves that number by keeping the adjustment system simple. Leg height is set by loosening a nut, extending it to where you need it, and retightening. It is not the fastest system in the world, but it is a system most hunters are already familiar with from standard tripods, and it works reliably.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/DSC00821-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Backlanz PLR bipod four forward leg angle positions for hunting and prone shooting\" class=\"wp-image-235463\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/DSC00821-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/DSC00821-400x225.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/DSC00821-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/DSC00821-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/DSC00821.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Four forward leg angle positions, ranging from stowed up through 30 degrees, 60 degrees, and straight down, let you dial in the right height for any shooting scenario.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The PLR offers four angles of forward leg adjustment: legs stowed up, 30 degrees, 60 degrees, and straight down.

The stance is fixed. That means the shortest configuration you can get is limited to that fixed width.

The ability to go extra wide on uneven terrain and still level the rifle with the 50-degree cant adjustment means you can get into position quickly and get a level, stable shot in situations where other lightweight bipods would have you guessing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/DSC00811-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Backlanz Precision Alpine side buttons for rotating bipod legs into compact stowed position\" class=\"wp-image-235456\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/DSC00811-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/DSC00811-400x225.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/DSC00811-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/DSC00811-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/DSC00811.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Buttons on either side of the body rotate the legs up into a compact stowed position, keeping the setup tight when moving between positions.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The Alpine also offers three angles of forward leg adjustment compared to the PLR&#8217;s four, but in practice, the multi-axis splay adjustment more than compensates for that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/DSC00827-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Backlanz Alpine six-position leg splay system for extra-wide prone shooting on rough ground\" class=\"wp-image-235465\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/DSC00827-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/DSC00827-400x225.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/DSC00827-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/DSC00827-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/DSC00827.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Six inward and outward leg splay positions let you go extremely wide to get the muzzle as close to the ground as your shooting position demands.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>One thing worth noting: neither model offers a pan feature. Backlanz made that call deliberately, trading panning capability for a stiffer, more stable platform. For most hunters, shooting from a set position is the right trade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Alpine is priced at $650 USD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-field-test-zero-play-fast-qd-and-spiked-feet-that-actually-bite\"><strong>Field Test: Zero Play, Fast QD, and Spiked Feet That Actually Bite<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Handling both of these bipods back to back, the quality is immediately obvious. There is zero play in any of the adjustments. The legs lock firmly, the cant locks firmly, and the entire assembly feels like it was machined out of a single piece of something impossibly light and impossibly strong. The rubber caps pop off to reveal spiked feet underneath, which is a feature that matters when you are trying to stay still on dirt, rock, or dry grass and cannot afford to have the bipod walk on you during the shot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The quick-detach system works exactly as advertised. You can have either of these bipods off the rifle and in your pack in a matter of seconds, which matters on multi-day backcountry hunts where weight and pack organization are always competing priorities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-which-backlanz-bipod-should-you-buy\"><strong>Which Backlanz Bipod Should You Buy?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are a hunter who shoots primarily from flat or near-flat terrain, spends more time waiting for shots than scrambling for them, and wants to save every ounce possible, the PLR at 5.78 ounces and $550 is a serious piece of kit that will do everything you need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/DSC00835-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Backlanz Precision Long Range PLR lightweight bipod as a simple strong hunting setup\" class=\"wp-image-235471\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/DSC00835-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/DSC00835-400x225.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/DSC00835-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/DSC00835-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/DSC00835.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The PLR is a simple, strong, and robust option.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If you hunt steep, technical country, shoot from positions where the ground is never quite level, or want the security of the optional fast-deploying notched legs when a shot comes quickly, the Alpine at 6.5 ounces and $650 is worth the extra weight and cost.

A former professional sponsored 3-Gun and Multigun competitor with multiple championships and titles, True\u2019s shooting career began in long-range and tactical sniper matches\u2014and he still burns powder in precision competitions, now branching into Hunter NRL. A certified firearms instructor who has trained over 10,000 students face-to-face, True has also served on both sides of the courtroom as an attorney and currently as an elected Prosecuting Attorney. He has prosecuted and defended high-profile self-defense and firearms cases, giving him a unique, real-world perspective on the Second Amendment. Outside the courtroom and off the range, True is a true western outdoorsman. A lifelong hunter and rancher, he rides and hunts off his own string of horses and pack animals, chasing elk, mule deer, wolves, coyotes, and anything else in season. He\u2019s a longtime reloader, producing both precision rifle ammo and, back in the day, handloading over 40,000 rounds of 9mm and 5.56 annually for competition. He\u2019s also a thermal and night vision expert, known for his obsession with high-end optics, and is rarely found without a camera or a guitar nearby. Whether he\u2019s glassing a distant ridge, reviewing cutting-edge gear, or deep in legal research, True brings passion, precision, and grit to everything he does.
