[QUOTE="royinidaho, post: 423944, member: 2011"] From you discussion of the picatinny swivel arrangement I don't think you will be satisfied with either the Harris you have or the one that you are considering. To pan w/a 338 anything doesn't seem compatible with LRH and making that first shot count. The Harris would work will on the Savage with a little creativeness with your system. For instance a thick piece of material, such as properly cut leather (if I'm envisioning things correctly) will allow the bipod to tighten up, against the forearm. The comment that height makes no difference is somewhat vague also. The rifle should be as close to the ground as practicable considering the pilot's body build and obstruction (grass) height. The bipod should have enough height to allow shooting up at least 20 degrees while being positioned on level ground. I don't like any of the current bipod offerings for one reason or another, especially the ones that have to be "loaded". A solid, fixed height bipod that can be pushed around with the rifle stock to level, etc is my choice. However, I couldn't find one and ended up designing and making several of my own. Hope this helps.. [/QUOTE]
