Unless you're particularly bothered about 'tailor-made' ones, how about making your own quadsticks?

I've made several sets now. Four B & Q green garden canes, four seriously heavy duty rubber bands and a short length of webbing. Absolutely work a treat as they're very stable. Take lots of punishment too and you can tailor them to suit your rifle(s). Lightweight as well.

Imagine a bipod, forming the 'V' at the top for your rifle. Make two of these, using the rubber bands.

Then, join your two bipods together at their bases, using the rubber bands.

Move the top rubber bands up or down to get the 'V' that suits your rifle.

Fix a length of webbing to the front legs. Sit your rifle in the two 'V''s and once it's sitting where you think it best for you, stretch the webbing to the rear and fix it in place. This means that each time they're opened, it's the correct position for your rifle.

I think the total cost will be £10-£12.

He must have got the idea from me :lol:

Please don't use a hacksaw in the same manner as him, or you could lose a finger :o

The inner tubing is ideal, blueyes. The black rubber bands I use came from a postman. Really strong, just like the innertube :thumbup:

I also used a piece of the thin type tubing from racing wheels and slipped this over the tops of the sticks and leave enough to form a V for the gun to sit in front and back protects the gun and non slip,also once you have got your bolts so it opens and closes easily put some locktite on them HTH

I've also got a set of the DIY B&Q stick which are great but I also wanted something a bit better and bought a set of Primos Gen 2 Trigger Stick - Tall Tripod off Ebay for £65 (ex-demo) and they're possibly the best accessory I've ever bought. Uttings have them for sale at £115 which although expensive are, IMO worth it.
