Have the Stoney Points and the newer Primos version. Prefer the originals. 8 ounces and have worked well for me and my sons. Quick to deploy, and easy to adjust for kneeling/sitting. You can get lower by just not connecting all the sections. Not ideal, but doable.
Have seen the original Snipepod on Huntsman22's rifles, and it is slick, but have not used it myself.

The Snipe-pod is lighter than ANY of the suggestions in primos or bog gear or Stoney POS's....... Huntsman, Do you use that as a rifle bipod as well?

As in a bench bipod? No, but I have, and I have used it as a prone bipod. I don't like it in those uses as the sitting length model is segmented and I don't like the way the bungie system lets the leg segments flail around while in use without being velcro'ed up...... If a guy has time to tie alla that chit together first, I reckon I could like it more for those uses.

Thanks for the above Don. I guess I should have been more clear. I was curious if you used it for hunting in the prone and sitting positions. In other words, I was wondering about it''s overall use as a possible replacement rifle bipod.

to take a quick prone shot, they're fine without gathering up the leg sections, but I don't like to do a buncha shooting that way.

I just bought the tripod trigger sticks. Very fast deployment, infinite adjustment, lite weight, and very stable.
We hunt as a club and do large scale deer drives. You're either a driver or a watcher. This trigger stick will be outstanding for watchers. Very portable stability. Pricey? Yeah but I'm happy with it.

I had been looking at the Trigger Stick. What are you guys using? Mono, bipod or tripod? I like bipods because that is what I used in Africa. This past October, I had no problems of the Trigger stick bipod at 330 yards uphill on elk. j
A good principle to guide me through life: “This is all I have come to expect, standard lackluster performance. Trust nothing, believe no one and realize it will only get worse…”

Lightweight and compact=Snipepod. On and off in a flash. not cheap though. You can't stand to shoot. It's more of a sit or kneel thing with the SP Been using a set for years for everything from ground squirrels to elk. Like an sticks or pods everything has its drawbacks, but I won't leave home without them.

3 pics of Stoney Point Shooting Sticks - compact--light This is what I have, but I think mine are shorter. I've had them 10 years or more. They are probably 18" or less with legs retracted. Fully extended they work for kneeling or sitting in a chair. I carry them everywhere I go almost and use them a lot sitting on the edges of big fields. I have killed multiple deer beyond 350 yards using them. If I can get my back against a tree, it's like shooting on a bench....
