RE: What Bipod
 

I also prefer the Harris bipods for varmint or hunts where you do little walking. If you are going for antelope where you will be covering allot of territory I recommend the Stoney Point shooting sticks. They are not as stable as the Harris, but weigh next to nothing and this makes a big difference when you will walk all day for a long distance shot.

exactly what I was gonna post.........make sure it swivels!!!!

I have Harris bipods too. But I also have a bi-pod I got at Cabelas. Its called the Versi-pod. I like this one much better and it doesn't cost as much as a Harris. It comes with 2 bases to put on 2 rifles, and it comes off easily so you can put it in your pack or pocket. You can get this bi-pod in two different lengths depending on how you will be using it - either prone or sitting/kneeling. I got the longer one and my hunting pal got the shorter one. Both use the same bases so we can use whatever we need to at any given time.

I have several Harrises. OK, but they remind me of the '57 Chevy: made when steel was cheap. I think they're overdue for something lighter and more streamlined. They also should remove the sharp edges on the rear so I doesn't gouge your hand during recoil. (I've duct taped some foam on the back of mine. Looks ugly but works.)

harris no contest remember you get what you pay for

RE: What Bipod
 

I have a versa-pod too, it works great but isn't too handy.

RE: What Bipod
 

I just mounted the Versa-pod on my 270WSM. I like it a lot better than the Harris on my .308 precision rifle. I just got back from a hunt where I was walking a lot in thicker cover. Simply slip the bipod off when walking and put it back on when needed, usually when I would set up on a cut.
