Stocks for aimable devices are provided. In one aspect, stock has a body mechanically associated with the aimable device and movable to determine an aiming axis of the aimable device, a shoulder mount positioned proximate to one end of the body, a firing grip positioned apart from the shoulder mount along a length of the body; a support leg having a mounting end pivotably mounted to the body between the firing grip and an end of the body opposite from the shoulder mount and having a foot end movable between a first range of positions and a second range of positions and a receiver located between the mounting of the support leg to the body and the firing grip and adapted to releasably hold the support leg in the first range of positions wherein the at least one support leg provides a grippable forestock.

This invention relates to the field of firearms, and in particular to a bipod for supporting a firearm, particularly high-calibre weapons. A bipod for supporting a bipod for supporting a firearm having a barrel, the bipod comprising: two legs rotatably mounted at respective opposing ends of a yoke and moveable between folded, intermediate, and firing positions, an elongate support member extending rearwardly of the yoke, and attachment means for attaching the bipod to the firearm in which the elongate support member is fixed to the yoke, and the attachment means is pivotally mounted on the elongate support number to permit canting of the firearm about a longitudinal axis.

A firearm stock with a support such as a bipod, tripod, monopod, or aiming stick is described. The support includes support legs and a mounting structure which mounts the support legs onto the stock. The support legs may be detached from the mounting structure when the support is not in use. After removal from the mounting structure, the support legs may be stored in one or more channels in the stock, by sliding them through one or more apertures in the end of the butt of the stock. The mounting structure may include a swivel mechanism which allows the aiming of the rifle to be adjusted while the support legs remain engaged with the ground.

A rifle stabilizer assembly attaching to a front stock of a rifle provides an assortment of stabilizing elements to enhance the shooting potential of a rifle, the assembly providing a stabilizer bar attached to the underside of a front rifle stock, a barrier block attachment, a bipod adapter attachment and a tripod adapter attachment, each attachment selectively chosen by a shooter as appropriate for a selected shot while in competition, hunting or combat.

An interface for coupling a bipod to a sling stud of a firearm forend. The interface can include two pawls that pivot to release or grasp the sling stud. The pawls can be biased upward via a detent that rides within a vertical aperture in a pivot holder. The pivot holder can move up and down within a vertical aperture in a mounting plate of the interface, and via this movement the pawls may be forced open or closed. A bottom surface of one or both pawls can include an irregular surface different portions of which interface with a top of the detent depending on a vertical position of the pivot holder within the aperture in the mounting plate.

The invention relates to a rifle comprising a barrel, a stock, a bipod and bipod housing formed within the stock of the rifle and in which one or more legs of the bipod may be housed when the bipod is in a storage position. The forestock may comprise a body and a tip. The tip may be configured to support one or more legs of the bipod and may also be configured to hinge away from the body to cause the legs to project toward a supporting surface when the bipod is in an operational position.
