[QUOTE="nikonNUT, post: 1952171, member: 114867"] What caliber are you running? I use a PRS on my 6.5CM it works great but I "borrowed it" for my .338LM and it just wasn't up to the task. Hanging that big of a rifle on a bipod where the bore's center line is above the top of the stability triangle just doesn't work so good. I ended up ordering a Super CAL and a 5-H to try. The 5-H is staying with me! With an Area 419 spigot adapter and ARCA clamp the top of the triangle is just about inline with the center line of the scope. Needless to say stability increased tremendously! The CAL will offer the same if to a lesser degree I will agree with [USER=33622]@milo-2[/USER] that the cant locking mechanism is uber fiddley on the 5-H to say the least but is far superior to the PRS's tension knob and when banging steel from the belly benchrest position it doesn't bother me too much. If I was hunting? CAL or Super CAL no question! WAY faster adjusting mechanism that locks up tight and is easy to adjust (The 5-H uses a star wheel with click detents and a QD locking lever PLUS a screw in pin to disable cant completely. Over complicate things much Atlas???) but you do sacrifice pan, at least on the Super CAL. Also not bad mouthing Atlas. I love their stuff! [/QUOTE]
