Bi-pods

[ClarenceDickson]

so , I've been a bow hunter since 1980 BUT I have decided to get back into rifle hunting and have just purchased my first new gun ( Sauer 6.5 PRC) !! I'm gonna put a bi-pod on it and I'm looking for input on what other people like ,,,, I want a good one that cant's and rotates and I've looked at the Sniperpod one that allows you to sit and shoot too !!! so what are your recommendations ??

I have been using the Atlas brand for awhile and doubt if I would change.

I'm familiar with the Harris brand but not Atlas ,,,, thanks I'll check them out !!

Harris are good for the money. Make sure you buy genuine (watch out for fakes on Amazon), get the swivel version, and add a Pod-Loc.

More money get's you more bipod though.

Atlas

My vote is Atlas as well.

Hard to beat an atlas, but for versatility (going from bipod to tripod and back) I use the Spartan Bipods. So many options and super light weight. If strictly bipod shooting off bench, definitely Atlas.

I'm using a hatch out west bipod.

its not as stable prone as something like the atlas, but it works well from prone to sitting. It's quiet unlike the Harris. To me it's the perfect bipod for hunting, not necessarily for target shooting.

I've been looking at atlas but Sniper Pod makes a bi-pod that uses a system similar to tent poles where they have aluminum held together by elastic and you can do everything from prone to sitting !!

I think you are talking about the Granite Peak "V2 SnipePod". If so it's really more like a fancy shooting sticks than it is a bipod. I have heard good things about that product.

I've had Harris for decades. but the Atlas does look much better though I've never used one. I still prefer a good sling and bag to a bipod. Just my preference.

Been using Harris bipods since the 70's and added the Pod-Loc a couple of years ago.
Atlas I hear is better and lighter but I have been fine with Harris.

I think they come apart in 8-10 inch segments and then you use the velcro that comes with them to strap them together and use them at whatever length you want ,,,, I dont know , unless you can , hands on , use something you never know !!

You are correct.

I just mean that a true bipod gives you much more stable platform as it can be locked and loaded. Many guys are using bipods to the same effect as a benchrest.
