I have one, and am not happy with it. First of all, the legs spin with the standard feet. When you load it, the two legs roll forward. This happens on dirt and on the bench. I have to dig a quick little trench with my knife in the dirt to keep them set. Can't do that from the bench though.

Second, one of the legs on mine is jacked. It slips past the detent and folds one notch back every now and again. That's no good.

These two things make it worthless to me.

I took a 4 day precision class last year. By the 2nd day, I ditched my brand new Atlas and used an instructor's QD Harris for the remainder of the class. Much more stable. And the 3 USMC and 1 Army sniper who were the instructors all swore by the Harris, for what it's worth.
So I'm not posting this to piss in you're wheaties, just trying to help a guy out a bit.

On the rotating legs thing. There's 2 options here for the new purchase, and one for those that already own one. New- The PSR version has legs that don't rotate. For those that already own the older version a set of spiked feet like the Hawk Hill ones will fix this. Granted you aren't going to be able to load into it real hard on concrete or a steel bench, but you shouldn't be loading it that hard anyway.

For the issue with the detent on yours specifically, Call B&T Industries, they'll fix it. They've been nothing but helpful to anyone I know that's had to have one fixed for whatever reason. At least then if you're still unhappy with it, you can sell it and not take a nasty hit on it.
