The versa pod is a china made cheap copy of the very excellent parker hale bipod. The parker hale was made for tactical purposes, not specialy for hunting. It is incredably well made and durable, and rock steady. The Harris is the best of the 2 choices you mentioned. "REAL" Parker Hales go for...

Go to the range without a cleaning rod, NEVER. I would advise newbie reloaders to stick to the book, for awhile. Russ

I use it in a .308 only shooting 2600 fps with a 167 grain bullet. Not as fast as she'll go, but best accuracy. Russ

I have one in my .308 very satisfied. Russ

I use a stainless steel eye bolt on all my Harris bipods. Easy to tighten with bare hands or stick a pen in it. I use the swivel knob from Sinclairs also. Russ

22lr is accurate past it's effective killing range. I have made headshots on ghogs at 100 yards with my model 75 target rig, with excellent effectivness. But center mass hits at 100 and beyond were generally not clean kills. 17HMR may be the ticket. I have taken ghogs to 186 yards with mine. Russ

Happy Birthday ! I hope it is your best to date. Russ

Good 25-06 load is: Sierra 90 grain HPBT driven over 3300 fps with 52.6 grains of IMR4350. Russ

Just thought with spring 2 weeks away you would enjoy seeing something white besides the ground. Russ

Excellent service, shipped well packed and promtly. Even refunded excess postage. And the films are awesome, really enjoyed watching them. Keep up the good work. Russ

howa's are great. I have a custom 22-250 built on a howa action. It is a one holer. Russ

Best optics are on the Souther fixed power scopes. They are insanly rare and expensive. I have 36 scopes Leupolds, Lymans, Unertls,Davis, Weaver(ElPaso's) , B & L, and Litcherts. My clearest scope is a Lyman Super Target Spot 30X made in 1953. It is only a slight improvement over Leupolds...

To protect yourself I would go to a FFL and do the transfer. Most gun shops offer this service for a modest fee. It could save you alot of headaches if the guns are ever used in a crime. Going rate here is $25 per transfer, plus $10 for instant check. Russ

Way to go. Russ [ 12-28-2002: Message edited by: Russ ]
