Can any of you recommend a good gun bipod to put on my rifle? Possibly one that can also accept a sling! Any responses would be good. [Smile]

Harris Bipods:
They snap on your sling stud and they come with another stud for your sling. Good Luck

ditto Harris bipod. Make sure you get one that will extend tall enough for sitting/kneeling. I say that not knowing what the intended purpose of your bipod will be.

I looked at them and like the one that extends form 13" to 23" for prone or sitting positions. [Smile]

If you are planning on shooting from other than level ground, you may want to spend a couple of extra bucks to get the kind that swivels - Harris calls them their "S" series.

After watching my buddy adjust positions repeatedly with the regular front mounted bipod; I felt there must be a better way for me to get a steady rest in the field. I picked up a set of collapsible shooting sticks, attached a strap and sling them across my shoulder. So far I've been pleased with them shooting standing and seated. There could be problems with the sticks if shooting prone though.

Another vote for Harris. Just make sure the forearm sling stud is solid. I have seen a bunch of them get pulled off with the extra stress the bipod puts on them while tightening.

At the risk of being the odd man out, I also like the Caldwell bipods from Midway. The basic model is lighter than the Harris, and it swivels a few dgrees and cants a few degrees. It does not lock up like the Harris, so is perhaps not quite as rock steady. But I like the lighter weight for a "carrying" varmint rig.
