Bipods

[Karl Blanchard]

I have an Atlas CAL2 and a couple Harris.  A friend sent me a Evolution bipod for free to check out.  I am not impressed at all.  Glad i didn't buy one.  I am with Karl, Harris is hard to beat for the money.  They make a pretty cool Picatinny mount replacement you can get for the Harris as well.  I think it's Short Action Precision that makes them.  It's the same quick release that Atlas uses.

The quick release mount your thinking about is the American Defense AD-BP STD Riflescope Bipod Mount.

I didnt even know these were a thing!

This is the one I was thinking of.
I'm not sure how I got rifle scope added in my earlier reply.

I always have a bipod on my rifle.  It doesn't get in the way and I end up shooting off of it probably 80-90% of the time.  Mine is long enough for a seated shot but not standing.

Do you ever carry your rifle over your shoulder, or does that impede that.

I mount mine legs toward muzzle and i don't notice the bipod at all when shouldered. 

It also keeps the bipod from leaning forward when shooting.

I did.  A Harris.  Pretty much all of the time it was just extra weight and a snag hazard.  I might reconsider for coyote stands or more open land hunting.

You always mount the legs towards the barrel , that way you can " Load " the Bi pod by pushing away from you . I use a Harris 6" - 9" pivoting Bipod , had a bigger one (16-27" I think ) and didn't care for it .

And if you don't mount the legs towards the barrel, it'll fold up on you and your rifle will be laying in the dirt.

The Short Action Precision picatinny mount is awesome. I hated switching back from
And Atlas snd Harris.  I tried that picatinny to stud adapter and its not that great.

I use a firefield I6 to 27" bipod on my Browning X-Bolt Long Range. I like to shoot from the sitting position with a rock solid rest.

Thanks for the pic.

I carry a Harris in the pack and use a QD as discussed previously. If I need a bipod, there is usually enough time to snap it on and set up.

On another note, I got these this year and they are pretty bad ass if you want to run sticks. Going to carry hiking poles anyway and these only add a couple of ounces and are solid..   Product of the year in my book and cheap also
