[QUOTE="frankg, post: 28567, member: 256"] I have a harris bipod and I am happy with it. I think you will find a lot of people are happy with the harris. As far as your scope adjustments, the least complicated thing would probably to be to just take your gun to your range and fire at the different distances and write down the scope settings at the different ranges that give you a correct bullet impact when you hold dead on. The more complicated method involves using math and trajectories and stuff,you will find it in the "basics" section of this forum. But for the distances you are talking about I think shooting at targets every 100 yards and writing down your scope settings is a good way to go. Take the information you get from your range experience(A drop chart) and put it on something convenient to take with you. I tape my drop chart to the butt of my rifle with packing tape.That way I don't loose it. A drop chart and a rangefinder should serve your purposes just fine out to the distances you are talking about. Remember,when you get to Colorado the altitude and temperature will effect your bullet flight and you will have to do some shooting out there to see what your new bullet impact is.You will have to adjust accordingly.The longer the distance the greater the difference in the new point of impact. The shorter the distance the less you will have to worry about it. Good luck,wish I was going too. [/QUOTE]
