Title: long range bipods
Post by: coachcw on March 25, 2012, 07:41:06 AM: OK whats the best long range bi pod going ? I know that there's a few long range guys out there and I'm curious what bi pods your using.

In my opinion, it is hard to beat a Harris with the tilt, notched legs and Pod-Lock installed. This is for all all around shooting, varmints and big game.

Post by: Special T on March 25, 2012, 09:23:31 AM: Trigger sticks by primos are ok, but you have to predetermine if you are going to shoot standing or a sitting position. I always find that if i have one kind i'll need the other. :twocents:

Post by: jaymark6655 on March 25, 2012, 10:33:03 AM: Not to thread jack, but I have a follow up question. On the harris bipods are the feet free to rotate?

I have a cheaper bipod, bought it over 10 years ago. When I put forward pressure on the bipod the feet just rotate and allow the thing to walk forward, which is a huge problem for me.
