[QUOTE="jmden, post: 779154, member: 1742"] Have been using the Atlas for several months now. Have the leg extensions and spike feet as potential add-ons if needed. I like it's geometry, more compact size and lighter weight over the Harris. How do you guys characterize the term 'solid' when it comes to the Atlas? It is well made and engineered, so if that's what is meant by 'solid' that makes sense. But, what I find (and I'm no expert here) is that it's joints are a bit floppy, but it's that characteristic that lets it assume what I believe is a more stable geometry than the Harris. The Harris is so rigid and the legs point forward of vertical. The Atlas has a built in flexibility such that when the buttstock is pressured forward the bipod feet are positioned slightly aft such that the legs are pointing backwards slightly. It seems to me that this geometry has been more stable for my prone shooting. Am I wrong in this? [/QUOTE]
