Dang: Wrong Bipod Height?

[General RE LEE]

I decided to swing by LGS and grab a Harris bipod. I've always shot off a front and rear bag on a bench or the window frame of my box blinds. I thought I would get a bipod to carry one less thing to the range.

I know very little about bipods except to get a Harris S model that swivels. I grabbed the L model which is 9-13". I got home and started looking online and people almost always get the 6-9" version for bench work.

Is the 9-13" going to be too tall for bench work? I'm considering returning it.

One way to find out. Pop it on and try. It's too high for me but see how it works for you.

If it is for shooting from a bench, I would send it back and get the 6-9".

For me 6-9" is ideal for bench shooting. 9-13" is great for prone shooting, and the 13-27" is great for prone/sitting.

Return it. It will be too high.

Got tomorrow to hit range so I swung by Academy and grabbed a Caldwell 6-9" XLA bipod. Yeah they are cheap but I'll just return the other and use the Caldwell till it breaks or gives problems.
