Best Bipod?

[Shootermick]

What is the main use?

Main use would probably be just across the bonnet of the ute, quicker to set up than grabbing my sand bag is what I’m thinking.

[JimTom]

Certainly is mate

Whilst i run two Harris Bipods, the Javelin made by Spartan is the biz.... attached to the rifle in seconds and weighs nothing - expensive a little but well worth it.

Not a bipod fan then I take it big Pete?

I've got 2 Harris bipods....only time they've gone on guns in the last 15 years was for my boy to practice with....so no,not a fan.

l find it the only way l can shoot some longer rifles that are difficult to use out of my wagon window and l can grab a rear bag at the same time
obviously this is while driving around spotlighting

the reason l prefer the harris is that after buying a cheap chinese copy a very long time ago l put it on a 300wm and the recoil broke the legs
thats not to say they are not made better now

I would prefer bags in the field ( stalking not car hunting)but they are not practical to carry hunting because of the weight and bulk. I could fill my front bag with lightweight recycled plastic shell of some sort but it would still be bulky and a bugger to carry. I have been thinking of some sort of inflatable bag ( 80 per cent full of air ) clipped to the back of my belt so it’s out of the way but not got round to it yet ..... I’m sort of thinking goon bag but that would be punctured quickly and I would have to drink four litres of cheap wine first and I hate wine and then I would just go to sleep instead of going hunting

Mate it will eventually need to be refilled. But use the crystal kitty litter from Coles/woolies. A few different brands.. but shouldn't matter. It gives a reasonable rest and quite light.

Only downside... probably not recommended to use in rain

Thanks for the tip ziad I will look into it. And if I end up useing it I will send u a pm with a pic of the first dead kitty litter pig

[Sergeant Hartman]

Haha thanks mate. Hopefully it works.

I was taking to a friend and he said plastic pallets come in heavy and light form....i got the heavy form and that made my rest bag stable but heavy

They're heavy,noisy,awkward,take too long to set up properly for a shot,and can cause the rifle to act funny during recoil, in my OPINION. Out of a car there's plenty of things to rest on. When stalking,half the time you're standing to take the shot so they're not much use there either. Hell, to be honest,I don't really like even having a scope on my hunting rifles,but the good far outweighs the bad there,especially as my eyes get worse.

Just leave your sandbag on the window sill of the ute mate, heaps quicker than stuffing around with bipods (done both over many years and the sandbag is more versatile and quicker to use off a bonnet by far. (I've got all manner of bipods from Harris, Atlas to cheapies all work the same - some are fixed, others are cant, swivel, tilt) but for shooting off the bonnet none get used now, it's the good ol sandbag that gets the run every time no matter who's ute I'm in as it's more versatile when it comes to shooting up or down hill.







Another option that might suite you is one of the Matchbox setups.

That doesn't look as cool as a bipod bigfellascott lol.
