[QUOTE="royinidaho, post: 492046, member: 2011"] I'm the odd man out on this one. I get along with Harris type bipods like wolves get along with hound dogs........ I recall that I could never shoot my dads Browning A5 shotgun as I heard all of the barrel and spring movement every shot. The springs on the folding bipods erk my nerves. Plus they will fold up on ya at the most opportune times. As in shoot at severe up angles and you have to break you position to get the range finder or something else. I build my own personal solid leg - solid mount bipot with the legs at a proper angle for solidness. When I want to level the rifle I cant the rifle to the high side and shove it back and forth. The feet do the digging. I always shoot with "some" shoulder pressure so I guess I'm loading the bipod. But not intentionally. I attempt to get straight behind the rifle but usually have my spotter correct my position. I naturally don't get it right.:rolleyes: But straight behind the rifle, for me, eliminates fliers. Oh, and put the bipod feet on the ground not the shooting mat. Don't know if its better or not as I always put the feet in the dirt. [/QUOTE]
