Atlas Compatible Rubber Feet Set (2 pieces) - SleipnerX
The universal choice for precision shooting on any surface
The Atlas compatible Rubber Feet set forms the standard and most versatile foot solution for your bipod. This set of two black rubber feet offers excellent grip on virtually any surface, from shooting benches to grass, without damaging surfaces. For shooters who regularly switch between different locations and surfaces, these rubber feet are the ideal all-round choice.
Technical specifications
These rubber feet are manufactured from high-quality black rubber compound specifically developed for shooting applications. The total weight per set is only 28 grams (1.0 ounce), making them the lightest option within the Atlas feet system. The soft rubber composition absorbs vibrations and prevents scratches on sensitive surfaces like wooden shooting benches, lacquered tables, or plastic shooting mats.
The rubber feet are compatible with:
Practical applications in precision shooting
For shooters operating from shooting ranges with constructed benches, these rubber feet offer optimal grip without damaging the surface. The rubber composition prevents your bipod from sliding across a smooth table during aiming, while leaving no scratches on the surface. At indoor shooting facilities where infrastructure protection is important, rubber feet are often the only permitted foot option.
In F-class and benchrest disciplines where you work from stable wooden or composite shooting benches, the rubber feet provide consistent grip without worrying about material damage. The soft rubber also dampens light vibrations that can occur during aiming, potentially contributing to improved precision in extreme long-range shooting disciplines.
For hunting rifle shooters firing from portable shooting sticks, shooting mats, or natural elevations, the rubber feet offer a good balance between grip and protection. They perform adequately on most natural surfaces, although spike feet perform better on very soft or muddy ground.
Installation and use
The rubber feet are installed using the familiar push-button system. Press the stainless steel plunger, remove your current feet, and place the rubber feet until the lock clicks audibly. The lightweight design means switching between different foot types has no noticeable impact on your setup's total weight.
The rubber feet work on virtually any surface but perform optimally on:
- Wooden shooting benches and tables
- Plastic shooting mats and rests
- Concrete shooting ranges (dry)
- Short grass and firm ground
- Indoor shooting facilities
For very smooth surfaces like lacquered wood or metal, ski feet may perform better for controlled recoil absorption.
Durability and maintenance
Rubber feet wear slower than you might expect, but they are the only consumable within the Atlas feet ecosystem. With intensive use on rough surfaces like concrete or gravel, the feet may show signs of wear over time. This is normal and only affects functionality when the rubber is significantly worn.
Cleaning is simple with water and soap. Avoid solvents or aggressive chemicals that could damage the rubber. After use on muddy surfaces, you can easily remove any dirt particles. The black color effectively hides small stains, keeping the feet looking neat longer.
In case of damage or extreme wear, rubber feet are the most cost-effective option to replace. It's wise to always have a spare set with your equipment, especially during multi-day competitions or long-range hunting trips.
Compatibility with premium bipods
These rubber feet are standard delivery with the SleipnerX Gen3 Carbon Bipod and form an excellent match with the light carbon frame. For users of Fortmeier bipods, the Huntac Atlas Feet Adapter is required to use the complete Atlas feet system.
When to choose rubber feet?
Rubber feet are the best choice when you:
- Regularly shoot from structures that need protection
- Work in indoor facilities with strict rules
- Want a lightweight setup without compromising grip
- Switch between very different surfaces within one session
- Seek a cost-effective all-round solution
For specific situations, consider also having ski feet (for smooth shooting benches) or spike feet (for soft field surfaces) in your equipment.
