[QUOTE="DCDavidson, post: 867068, member: 51123"] [FONT=Arial][SIZE=3]The Atlas is a vast improvement over the Harris bi-pod. I believe this is simply due to the age of the Harris design and the changes in bi-pod use. The Harris is still an excellent piece of gear and should be the first bi-pod every new shooter uses. I feel that until you can exploit the Atlas advandages. I have the Atlas but prefer the Bobro for tactical match shooting. It is a very solid very well made, (hand made) bi-pod which is close in price to the Atlas. The Bobro has another advanage over the Atlas in that is is not a rattle trap on the battlefield, plus the Atlas ballbearing detents do not like khátti or Afghan mud/sand/dust. The Harris is much better in these conditions hence why the harris is still the MOD/DOD standard. I like the features of the Atlas when they can be used, when they are not a liability and the shooter has done the training and time to exploit the advances the Atlas offers.
