If you are looking for a portable bipod I like Cabela's new design.

............but Bog-Pod has been the best up till now IMO.

And why pray tell would you want a bi pod on a rifle unless it has a bull barrel and your coyote or other varmint hunting.
Just plain old shooting sticks works very well, some are adjustable so you can shoot standing.
I made a bifur x stick from varmint al's web site. Used golf club shafts for short ones and had wood for the taller one.

I also use these if I am traveling extremely lite..................

They make tall sticks which I have as well if I expect to be shooting from a standing position, or the cover is so tall that short sticks will do me no good.
Very lite and compact (and deploy quickly) !!!
All a matter of personal preference and terrain.

"Unstable on uneven terrain" is really a user error also.
"Can change impact of round from bench site in to bipod use," coupled with the follow up statement that "shooting sticks or a pack are better" is just flat lying. Any forend pressure against the barrel that is different from one shot to the next can change your POI, and it has nothing to do with what support you are using. Put your rifle weight on a set of shooting sticks and you have the same pressure on the stock - and potentially against the barrel of a non-free floated rifle - as you would when using a harris bipod.
If you've convinced yourself that you shoot worse off of a bipod, it's much more likely that you're failing to preload the pod in the field - again, a user error.
