Saber Tactical Bottle Clamps for FX Bottles: Fit, Bipod Mounts and Field Setup

A bottle clamp is the simplest way to add a rail to an airgun that does not have a good place for a bipod, and two of our clamps, the 60mm ST0004 and the 34mm ST0005, are among the most adopted Saber Tactical gear within the precision shooting community. They solve the same problem for a wide range of rifles: you want a bipod or tripod adapter further forward, and you do not want to drill into a factory stock to get it. This post walks through each clamp and the rifles it fits.

The 60mm Picatinny Bottle Clamp ST0004 adds a rail without drilling the stock.

How a Bottle Clamp Works

Each clamp wraps the air bottle or tube and places a rail underneath. Rubber pads inside the clamp grip the bottle without marring a carbon fiber wrap or scratching aluminum. Because nothing on the rifle is modified, you can slide the clamp to the point where the rifle balances best before you tighten it, and remove it later without a trace.

60mm Picatinny Bottle Clamp ST0004

The 60mm clamp fits any 60 mm carbon fiber or aluminum bottle and puts a Picatinny rail underneath. That covers FX rifles with carbon fiber or steel bottles, the RAW HM1000X, the Daystate Redwolf and Airwolf, and the Brocock Commander and Bantam. It is 6061-T6 aluminum in matte black anodize.

34mm Bottle Clamp ST0005

The 34mm clamp is for tube guns. It fits the FX Wildcat, FX Dreamline Tube, FX Streamline, Taipan Veteran and Benjamin Marauder, and it gives each a Picatinny rail without drilling.

The 34mm ST0005 fits tube guns such as the Wildcat and Marauder.

52mm ST0030 and Universal 50mm ST0071

The 52mm Bottle Clamp ST0030 is an ideal fit for AEA HP Plus rifles, and the Universal 50mm Bottle Clamp ST0071 is a perfect fit for the Umarex Gauntlet 30. Both use the same rubber lined design with a Picatinny rail on the bottom.

Arca Options: 60mm Arca ST0074 and the Bottle O-Clamp

If your supports are Arca, the 60mm Arca Bottle Clamp ST0074 puts a 2 inch Arca rail under the same 60 mm bottles as the ST0004.

The Bottle O-Clamp builds on our original clamp by wrapping completely around the bottle for more rigidity. It uses adjustable rubberized inserts tensioned by set screws to take up small variations in bottle diameter, and it comes in standard 52 mm and 60 mm sizes in an Arca version and a Picatinny version.

The Bottle O-Clamp wraps the full circumference of the bottle.

Setup Tips

Mount the clamp loosely, set the rifle on its bipod, and slide the clamp until the rifle balances where you want it. Then tighten evenly. Measure your bottle before ordering, since each clamp is sized to a specific diameter.
