[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 169236, member: 1521"] Charles, I've seen just the opposite. 3 of my hunting guns shoot better off a bipod than a Farley rest with edgewood bags. You wouldn't think so, but some rifles are very sensitive to contact point. POI can vary wildly if not just a certain way. I found that a Harris bipod offers some advantages for round or small forearmed stocks: It's pressure point is precisely at the same place. This is vital for developing cold barrel consisency that will be needed in the field. It's also easier to lock in level for the rifle prior to taking shots off a Harris swivel model than it is with any other rest. Do not under estimate the importance of level. Don't think you can simply judge it while aiming. You can't. Finally, if preloaded a Harris helps control torque. [/QUOTE]
