Bipods?

luvmyglock · July 3rd, 2008, 07:34 PM

Does anybody have a suggestion for a cheap bipod? I will be using it on a sling swivel stud mount, and it will get transferred from my marlin 60 to my LOS-7-1 and back quite a bit. I need something cheap but fairly reliable. I saw a bipod at wally world for $40, and it didn't look too bad..

I have the wally world bipod and it works very well for me. I mainly keep it on my Ruger 10/22 but I do switch it to my Winchester 243 and will be using it on my Savage 222 after I install a swivel stud on it. IMO the set up and ease of use are exceptional for a 40 dollar bipod. These bipods are adjustable the only thing is that unlike a Harris you only have one set ring in the legs and this is at it's full extended length. to adjust the bipod for uneven surfaces or a shorter height the wheel on the legs must be turned and it will hold the bipod at the height that you set it at.

Harris bipods are great and work on sling swivel studs

I have a Harris 6-9" that I use with my Marlin Mod 60 and CZ 453 and a GG&G 1217 Tactical for my AR .223 & 9mm. I have found that they can be useful when in the field, but I'm much more accurate with a bag when benchshooting at a range. :)

Harris makes the best, at least that is what I have found. If you have a AR check out the new Monopods in the foregrip, pretty cool.

The Harris bipods are very nice. They are kinda pricey now though. I paid about $49 for each of mine, seems they go about $69 now.

Go ahead and spend a little extra and
buy a Harris bipod. Ive used Harris and
the cheaper brands and have not been satisfied
with the cheap stuff
