I looked at the Spartan Pro Hunt Tactical model and I like the concept, but the height was limited. They sell legs to attach and extend the height, but they are expensive and appeared time consuming to set up.

I really like my hatch bipod. Quick to attach/detach via a picatinny rail. Has all the adjustability from 6” to 27 or 36” depending on the model you want. Legs deploy quietly, easily adjust to what ever height you need. Weighs a little more than a pound. They’re made in idaho; the only down side is the price. They are expensive.

If I had a quick attach I might be more about it.
I've put one on the gun,then take off ,and put it on.
Any who I've just decided that I'll just shoot off a tripod if needed.
I've been trying out a new tripod for a few months.
The bog pod I had been using took a dump one day,so decided to give this one a try.
I'm really digging it. It will go very low to shoot prone.
It folds up small enough that it fits in a day pack.
Goes from tripod on the bottom,to mono on the top,I can still put my binos on it all that.
About half the cost of a bog pod.

Reason I like it too is I just have to buy the one bipod. Then I can buy the $40 adapter/receiver for any other rifle and use the bipod on it too.

I don’t understand the “I only have to buy one bipod and then I can just put mounts on my other guns” argument for them.
With my Evolution (or other pic rail bipods), all I have to do is buy a $20 pic rail for all my rifles.
Heck, with a Harris, you can move it from rifle to rifle since they most likely all have a sling stud.

I used to use a Javelin, but didn’t really care for the slop in the magnetic mount, or the fact it was a pain to leave on my rifle if I wanted to since it doesn’t fold.

That's pretty much where I'm at too.
Sometimes I'm in the 100 yard timber sneaking.
Not gonna carry a bunch of stuff.
If I'm hunting clearcuts or open country then I throw the tripod in my day pack .
Yes the one cheapo I do have is a sling stud mount.

What's the difference? You're adding a mounting surface for the bipod either way.

I also ordered a bog death grip tripod from Cabelas Black Friday and this thing is huge. Seems sturdy enough but heavy and bulky. Definitely won’t be packing this thing around. Contemplating returning it

Not sure if it's plastic junk,or a diamond in the ruff.
I don't own one.....yet.
Looks like you can attach it ,in whatever way you order it.

There are a lot of really good options for quick attach bipods with pic rail attachment from really cheap to really expensive.
If you plan to also use a tripod SRS also makes several options for arca mounts. I really like their stuff and I love the fact they are making them in the NorthWest!

I think the way to go for variations in hunts and set ups is to buy a standard spartan and add the tac legs after. You are still saving money vs buying the full TAC and you get a super ultralight option and an adjustable option.
Keep in mind bipods this light are now made for thousand yard consistency, youll be steadier with something heavier; same for the gun.

I don't like hunting with one attached but can keep it in my bino harness or a pack in case the right scenario or long-range shot comes into play with minimal weight penalty. I like to run a safari-sling (boonie packer) so leaving anything else up front is just clunky.
Slick-looking holster there, I may have to look into that at some point.
