I have one that I've used for caribou and antelope. If it didn't swivel, I wouldn't own it.

I hate bipods, even for varmint shooting.

Definitely swivel. I also like the notched leg.

66niteowl: All my bi-pods are now the swiveling models.
Took me a while but I found buyers for my 3 non-swiveling bi-pods and replaced them with swivelers.
Anyone that has even a modicum of field Hunting experience knows how much a bi-pod aids ones accuracy under Hunting conditions!
And the swiveling bi-pods add to the bi-pods usefulness afield.
They are a tad heavy out there on the front of our Rifles (and in a couple of cases on the front of my pistols!) but they are well worth it, and worth the extra effort toting them and attaching them.
I look with suspicion and some disdain on big game Hunters and predator Hunters who have no bi-pod or Rifle rest type systems.
They definitely ARE worth the extra expense.
YES... I like them.
Wouldn't go afield without them.

I love a stable shooting platform for serious hunting and a bi-pod gives me just that. I have owned and have used many various kinds extensively, but the Harris that swivels is where the buck stops for me.
Unless the hunt is of a physically demanding nature due to terrain and altitude, etc. Then I turn to a SnipePod.

And hey...now you can get a hinged-swivel bracket rest that'll attach to the tree you've got your stand on so you can make those long shots....out to 80-100 yards or so!
Even birds know not to land downwind!

Bisexuals only if they are female. Swivelling is nice.
Gun Shows are almost as comical as boat ramps in the Spring.

MontanaMarine introduced me to the swivel. And the magic of Ace's invention.
Been staring at the classifieds ever since.
