younghunterGun bipods?
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.

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

beemanbemeditto 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.

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

YH; I have both a short and a long one and am quite satisfied with their performance. derF

erictIf 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.

Quarter RoundAfter 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.

OldFartAnother 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.

montdougI see all the votes are for the Harris. You don't supose that's cause it's the best do ya? Another vote for the Harris, definitely the "S" ,it's the only way to go!---Shoot Safe---montdoug

Calif HunterAt 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.
