A couple of things I noted on the Bi-pod, the rounded humps that fit into the receiver wells have rough edges on them. Use a jewelers file to smooth, then I coated the contact areas with a layer of liquid electrical tape. Protects the finish and is a more positive attachment without being tight. Give it a shot. By the way, I think I got one of the last 3 bi-pods, and hope that he will get more.

Being lefthanded myself,I have asked about that very same
thing.People tell me the 1p21 sits about 1" farther
over.Sounds like that would be just as unconfortable to
shoot right handed.I have an 8x42 on mine and its more
comfortable for me to shoot without the cheek rest.If you
get one let me know how you make out.BTW Tantal has mounts
ect. to put a scope right in the center of the reciever,any
scope that will work with 1" rings,check out his web site.I
will give my by-pod your treatment sounds like a good fix
