I use bipods because I have a heavy 26" barrel on my 22-250, and I need help holding it up. I just started predator hunting, and have yet to spill blood with it, so I'm not sure how I'll like the setup.

I have two bipods and swap them back and forth between rifles, they make a much more effective hunter out of anyone, especially in open country, grass and sage areas where there are not many other things to use for a rest and get you above the ground cover.

I see that there is strong support for the VersaPod product line. I've decided to buy a 'prone' scaled bipod, but don't want to spend $150 for top of the line. What features could be compromised (absent in a cheaper model), to yield a useful, short bipod? Any other brands come to mind as cost-effective?  Any brands to specifically avoid?

Just picked-up two 9"-13" Shooter's Ridge Rock Mount adjustable bipods at the Walmart in Airway Heights... on clearance, for $20.00 each!!  :IBCOOL:  They will be utilized for bench/prone shooting.

I like the quality more expensive ones, but also a good pair of shooting sticks works very well.

The only thing that really seems to fail on the cheaper models is the connections.  Make sure everything is tight every once in a while (springs and bolts) and you will be fine.  Since you are getting a short one, you won't have to worry about the legs not extending which is another item that fails.  Google some tips on shooting with a bipod.  Don't lean into the rifle, etc.  That way you will get a consistent shot.

I found this web site to have the Harris Bi-pods for the best price.

I'd like to have a bi-pod on my varmint rifle, however I don't really want to have swivels put in on my stock.  I like that versapod, it looks light weight and flexable.

Has anyone ever seen any clever ways to put a set of swivels on a stock in such a way that they are removable or concealed?  I'm visualizing of some kind of a threaded insert that would go into the wood that sits flush with the lines of the stock, but will allow me to screw in a swivel stud should I want to add a sling or a bi-pod.  Anyone seen such a thing?

i use my elbows on my knees in open country, and use the tree's or sticks out in the woods.  Tried using a shooting stick, and to me its just one more thing that i dont want to lug around.

 I wouldn't leave home wothout a bipod.  I strictly use the Versapod in all calling situations, as it is the right height for me in the sitting position, and the swivel from side to side is great for those incoming dogs at close ranges.  It takes me a bit longer to set it up than the Harris bipods though.  All other applications is Harris all the way.
