Rifle Bipod #18139225 02/15/23 Joined: Sep 2004 Posts: 8,037 St Joe National Forest, Idaho S Shag OP Campfire Outfitter OP Shag Campfire Outfitter S Joined: Sep 2004 Posts: 8,037 St Joe National Forest, Idaho Looking for a quality bipod for use in the mountains. Nothing like dedicating a whole off season on a high country hunt and then missing a 180" buck. Don't ask but the third time isn't gonna happen.. So far best I've found locally is a Harris which I might buy. So band and lenght suggestions and I'm all ears. Anyone use a bipod that pivots?

Funny thing about the chinese copies of harris bipod is that the pivoting models come with a large locking handle( harris do not) and with a little check over and tightening up they are just as good.

Seems like I've had it for over 30 years? (I used it to shoot groundhogs, in Virginia, in the early 80s) I use it and/or my day pack for prone, and my shooting sticks for sitting or standing. Mostly, the bipod gets used for a safe way to set my gun down, in open country. On hillsides, I point the muzzle up hill. With the swivel bipod, my rifle would tip over, doing that. Once. Andy3

For a bit more support, these shooting Stix work very well.

I'm personally over bipods since I put arca rails on my rifles and got a carbon fiber tripod with a ball head. For me personally, a bipod works on a belt fed machinegun but between a pack and the tripod, I just don't have much use for them.

Sitting or offhand has worked on close shots too. Rifles are heavy enough so I prefer no bipod if hard walking. Bipod on the 22-250 though.

He extends the legs parallel if thinking of shooting, quickly moves them to perpendicular as he squats or sits & is ready to go very quickly- my concern on gadgets is slower speed, noise & movement & his method seems to work well. In good to 200 off a knee, 500 seated off knees but best seated off my pack. The new Mystery Ranch frame is a terrific rest.

Ditto. However, the Harris bipods I found in the 80s were too short for me to easily use while sitting. My brother convinced me to use a shorter one that is easier to use while prone. Once I had my injury, I found I could more easily walk on rough ground with trekking poles. I used them for shooting from sitting. They worked quite well.
