[QUOTE="Deleted member 46119, post: 1058832"] I am a bipod preferer. A lesson I learned the hard way. If you sight with the bipod, hunt with the same bipod even if the shot is offhand. I have a Sinclair Gen II on my 338 Edge. Admittedly not a hunting rig per say. I have been a fan of Harris bipods for "hunting" setups and got rid of everything of lesser quality but..... I recently tried a new bipod from [URL="http://peletontechnology.com/"]Tactical Rifle Bipods / Bipod Adapters | TipTop ® Rifle Bipod[/URL]. They are new on the market. After purchasing the first one, a [URL="http://peletontechnology.com/product/series-vii-rifle-bipod/"]TipTop® Pivot Easy Level & Pan Rifle Bipods[/URL] 6-9", I got a second 9-13 to try on the Edge. The model I have is screw lock legs and the closest Harris model is the S-BR but the Harris does not have a pan feature. The closer model to the Harris is the [URL="http://peletontechnology.com/product/series-v-rifle-bipod/"]TipTop® Easy Pivot (Level) Rifle Bipods[/URL]. The TopTop is heavier by 1.5 oz model to model. This is because the TipTop is stronger with larger diameter legs and has a couple features missing on the Harris. 1) the stud mount yoke is spring loaded to open and say in the slot.
