Loading on Monday and shooting 'til Sunday,ain't always a bad thing.

I'd say it's an inordinate scenario,in which a mag precluded a solid rest on an AR,as brush is usually a far greater concern in most AO's.

Though admittedly,I've mags of all flavors...............

I carry 60 rnds magged up and ready to roll. More than once I've had groups of 5-6 come to the call. I might not get all of em' but I damm sure make some noise on the multiples. Weight of the rifle means little to me - I never walk more than a 1/2 mile from the pickup. Too much walking is counter to getting in as many stands in a day (particularly the prime time stands in the morning and evening) as possible.

Coupled with audible "thwack,thwack,thwacks..." as boolits meat their mark.

Pun be intended................

All what extra weight?

The weight difference between a 20 round mag, and a 5 round mag can't be more than an ounce or so. It's a very small additional amount of aluminum, and spring metal. Those 5-rounders are almost as long as a 20 rounder, mostly dead space.

You don't have to fill it up, but having that option is nice.

Key is,the weight is in the right place,betwixt the mitts...which don't throw balance/handling out the window as a concession.

Win/win....................

And do help reduce recoil,for ratty-tat-tatting a herd of thangs.

Though in fairness,I'm a 20 Slut..............

I have both the Long and Short Harris Bi-Pods but seldom use either . I like the Stoney Point shooting sticks the best. If you are going to carry both a rifle and shotgun to your stand then the Harris work better since the rifle doesn't have to be placed on the ground. The Harris BP's are much heavier than the shooting sticks.

A coupla pards drive the SP's as mainstays and it'd be hard to argue their results.................
