[QUOTE="myshootinstinks, post: 2975892, member: 125170"] I remember bipods coming into style back in the '80s. I have tried them but not my cup'o tea. I do use a shooting stick for standing shots occasionally. It's primary purpose is a walking stick for the steep, rocky, slopes. When I say sling I'm not talking about a common strap, Cobra, etc. used to carry the rifle. Sling to me is the old 1907 sling that we used to see everywhere, originally on the GI issued '03 Springfields I believe. With your arm wrapped into the front of a good stiff sling it gives you a very solid and stable shotting position. It works very well prone or sitting but also can benefit a standing shot. There are also more modern versions of this sling that are lighter and work just as well. [/QUOTE]
