Caldwell 1237303 XLA 6"-9" BIPOD PIVOT ARCA/PIC

The Caldwell XLA 6"-9" Bipod with Pivot ARCA/PIC mount is a compact shooting support built for shooters who need stability without bulk. This lightweight aluminum bipod deploys instantly with a push-button mechanism and collapses quickly for transport, making it equally at home on the bench, at an outdoor range, or in the field. The 6"-9" height range suits prone and bench shooting positions, giving you solid support when you need it most.

What sets the XLA pivot bipod apart is its ability to adapt to real-world shooting conditions. The legs feature notched design for quick, repeatable height indexing—no fiddling with multiple adjustment positions. The pivoting frame allows up to 20 degrees of cant, so uneven ground won't throw off your zero. Soft rubber feet grip where you plant them, and the integrated sling stud attachment lets you secure a shooting sling without drilling your stock.

The ARCA/PIC mounting system provides flexible attachment options for a wide range of firearms and accessories. Multi-section legs fold forward compactly, so the bipod won't get in your way when carrying your rifle. Whether you're running groups on the range or preparing for a hunting season, the XLA gives you the precision shooting platform you're after at a weight penalty you'll barely notice.

Frequently Asked Questions

What firearms and mounting systems does the Caldwell XLA 6"-9" bipod work with?

The ARCA/PIC mounting system provides broad compatibility. ARCA mounts fit most modern precision rifle chassis and tactical stocks, while PIC (Picatinny) mounts accommodate standard tactical rails. Check your rifle's fore-end or rail system to confirm compatibility before purchase.

Is this bipod better for bench or field shooting?

The 6"-9" height range makes it ideal for prone and bench shooting positions. Caldwell offers taller models (9"-13", 13"-23", and 13.5"-27") if you need support for sitting, kneeling, or standing positions.

How much weight does the XLA bipod add to my rifle?

The XLA is built from lightweight aluminum to minimize weight penalty. Exact weight is not specified in available documentation, but the design prioritizes portability without sacrificing stability.

Can I use this bipod on uneven ground?

Yes. The 20-degree pivoting frame allows the bipod to cant and level on uneven terrain, helping maintain consistent sight picture and accuracy even when shooting off sloped or rough ground.
