Bipods
Im looking for a bipod and have narrowed it down to harris or shooter's ridge (like i really had a choice 
). Im leaning towards SR since it's a little easier on the wallet. Anyone have any problems with SR bipods?

RE: Bipods
I have both, they are the same design. My SR has given me more problems (the bolt that holds the leg together keeps coming loose), but nothing big. The Harris works great too. Just make sure you get the pivoting model. I'll probably try either the Versa-Pod or Snipe-Pod next.

I like the Stoney Point Rapid bypod. It swivels 360 degrees and it clips on and off. Use it as a walking stick while it is not on the gun. That way you don't have to carry the extra weight while carrying the rifle.

RE: Bipods
I have the Harris and they work great, but the added weight is a lot to an already heavy gun. I use it some times when I am just sitting and spotting,( with a spotting scope, not the Rifle scope)but if a long stalk is needed I would rather use my shooting stick. JMO

RE: Bipods
I have heard a few negative comments about the shooters ridge not being as strong or as sturdy as the harris. I too am loking for a bipod and decieded to go with the harris. Go into the www. midwayusa.com or cabelas and read the reviews before you make your decision. I think you will go the extra money and buy the harris.

RE: Bipods
I took a mule deer doe using the Stoney Point Rapid by-pod on my 270wsm at a lasered 298ys. in the kneeling position. Was rock steady. Yesterday went up on the hill behind house and was hitting 6" dia. rocks with the 270wsm at lasered 500yds. in the kneeling position. So it depends if you are shooting off bench at targets or shooting game wether you you want the quick detach by-pod or not.
