Bipods

Post by Downeaster » Tue Dec 15, 2009 3:44 pm

Anybody here use a bipod?

I just picked up a Harris Ultralight for my Savage in .17HMR and I gotta say I'm darned impressed!

Fit perfectly, 2 second installation time, and it will fit anything with a sling swivel.

Very well made, nice and light, easy to adjust, just all around nicely done.

I'm hoping to spend some time this winter laying prone in a snowbank waiting for that critter that's been leaving footy prints around my henhouse again. I'm assuming it's another fox, and it's following the same general path the other one did, hunting the same territory. 2-3 days a week it leaves tracks in the snow coming from behind my neighbor's house, over the ditch between us, meanders around my front yard, around the corner of my garage and down the driveway toward the barn.

I'm gonna put my game camera out and try to get a fix on what time it's travelling through and arrange a little reception for it.

The Harris models are some of the best bipods out on the market.

I use a Harris on my 22-250 and it works real well. The one exception is if the bipod feet are resting on a hard surface it will open groups a bit, so I simply sit it on a soft rifle case for a little padding. It does the trick.
