I use the Versa-pod which is mounted on the gun. It's quite heavy and is a little short so I wouldn't suggest that. However, after field testing that, I saw a commercial for the Snipe Pod. Another gun mounted bipod which comes in an array of lengths. I suggested that one to my brother and he bought it. The Snipe Pod is pretty awesome. It's very light and easily detachable. Although the sticks work well, I like the pods a lot better than the sticks for shooting stability and for staying on target of walking game etc.
