Have you ever thought of using a walking staff that quickly converts to a bi-pod. This is my latest version of Varmint Al�s �Bi-Fur Pod�. I put a bit more thought into this one and it has turned out to be my best to date. I use it often for coyotes which requires a lot of moving and quick set-ups, as it is more like running and gunning, and it works well.

Bi-pods attached to the rifle forend on a dedicated mount has its place, but I for one feel they completely destroy the handling characteristics of a good hunting rifle. If I need to prone out to execute an accurate shot long range, I prefer to shoot over my pack.
