[QUOTE="BallisticsGuy, post: 1797967, member: 96226"] A bipod is a shelf, nothing more. Used properly it shouldn't be able to have an effect on group size. What I do notice is there's more slop/play in certain bipods than in others. Accutac are rigid as hell with no slop. Harris have spring loaded slop in one direction (because of the springs and leg flex). Atlas had slop in all directions except down but as soon as you load it at all that slop is taken up and it goes rigid again. Accutac seems best for fully static positions. Harris seems best where you need a little elevation but windage is pretty static. Atlas is great when you need to move your POA across the horizon and up and down. What's poison to a bipod is spongy-ness. The Magpul offering I tried was spongy. Some others like Caldwell knock-offs of Harris were spongy. Good bipods cost a lot for a reason. They have to be engineered to take serious abuse while being light and rigid. A tough order. If Harris is serving your needs now, you won't find much benefit in dropping 300 bucks more for the next level up. I have them all, still prefer old notch leg harris for most work. [/QUOTE]
