[QUOTE="TBell, post: 2608952, member: 48004"] I will say I’ve tried several. Personally and don’t see a heck of a lot of differences in performance of the name brand folks. Will mention several things I look for. 1 legs with levered cam locks (at any position) . Or pinned. Tried those that twist lock and have found them to slip under weight of gun. 2 I like those with slightly tight, but smooth movement for canting the gun to get to level position. Once you have looked at your scope level it does not easily move off level, but not so tight you have to push to hard to get out of position. I also like to have a hand held bipod handy for either taller situations or their best use is if a tall front rest can hold the forearm steady from left to right and back a froward, then place hand held under the stock. I have found this approach rock steady for those long shots. Lots of elevation adjustment by just squeezing the legs together. [/QUOTE]
