For “out West” (which includes broken terrain, mountainous W Tx) I’m more apt to shoot of a tripod with a good head. More versatile than a bipod and I’m already packing it to glass off of so it’s not an unnecessary addition. Takes 5 seconds to go from glassing to supporting a rifle and you can shoot off of it from prone to standing. If I don’t need the additional support of the tripod for extended shots, I’m a fan of shooting off the Kifaru pack either laying flat or on end rather than fighting a bipod on uneven ground.


This......

Although I do have a Harris which I prone shoot off of for killing, tripod shooting sitting Indian style, using my pack as an elbow rest or a tree/bush while resting the rifle in a saddle of some sort on a tripod is just as steady long range as is prone over a bipod IME....
