[QUOTE="Tangent, post: 1841123, member: 110477"] For me, the Atlas takes about 1-second longer to deploy. The swivel on the CAL operates the exact same as a podlock on my Harris's, and extending legs takes the same amount of time. So for me, the +/-1 second extra of initial deployment has never been an issue. As far as cost is concerned, I think a 3x difference is an exaggeration. My last Gen2 Tall CAL was +/-$220 shipped, and my last 9-13 harris was $89 + $15 for a podlock. So we're talking a difference of about $100. If you want to talk apples-to-apples, a Harris adapter to connect to a pic rail is +/-$60+, so the difference is closer to the $50 range. Regardless, in the context of long range hunting, $100 is really nothing, especially for the increase in stability that you gain. Like I said, a Harris will work (I was shooting 1/2 MOA groups off a Harris last weekend), but a Gen 2 CAL is more stabile. [/QUOTE]
