nope..Ill carry my bipod on my rifle no matter what...I bet I can find something else your packing you dont need or somehting you could buy or make lighter to justify a bipod


 :yeah: :yeah: x2 I didnt have a bipod for a few years, shot free standing and kneeling and such. Then someone let me try out their bipod and I have carried one on my gun ever since, packed in 7 miles this last year to shoot a deer. I packed it out to I figure on using it so burying it wasnt really a option.

The most stable shooting platform there is!! Just be careful when shooting off the hood not to leave powder burns in the paint.

I carry Stoney Point bi-pod shooting sticks in my pack, 16" to 38" collapsible. They hardly weigh anything, and can be setup in seconds.

I was actually given that piece of advice years ago from an old guy from the Midwest that I ran into on my first antelope hunt.  He was dead serious when he told me to make sure and put a shirt down before I shot so I didn't ruin the paint on my truck :dunno:

I use a harris bipod.  It's quick and will swivel a fair amount if you have a target that is moving.  It's worth much more than it weighs when it's time to shoot in my opinion.

I tried the primos trigger activated walking stick bipod deal one year.  Personally, I thought it would be fine for a fairly close shot by not much better than offhand.  To many moving parts for me to try and shoot much over 150.

I prefer shooting prone with the harris bipod.

Stoney point shooting sticks. I wrapped them with camo tape, keeps them from banging together. They are easy to loose though, I left a set somewhere in Vail 3 years ago!!
