I've tried the shooting sticks and I didn't like them at all, way too much movement for my liking compared to bipods - I couldn't imagine I could nail bunnies in the head at 300m or more using them (I was flatout hitting bunnies at 50m lol) each to their own of course but definitely didn't suit my shooting ability.

Thanks for the info BFS. My mate has ordered 2 pairs, so we will see how they go. I'll update in a while.

the weapon.

Badspeak unless you are serving military.

Harris cant adjustable are very good, you can lash out on a podlock to set the rifle up on uneven ground but it is pretty easy to modify the std Harris knurled wheel thing to accept a piece of drill shank or whatever to allow more leverage / locking friction.

Atlas and such are very good engineering but I doubt Carlos Hathcock would have tolerated the extra weight, a full on "Tacticool" rifle would need to be vehicle mounted at my age !

Too easy mate, hopefully they suit/work better for you than they did me. :thumbsup:
