Bipods

[mattmann]

What’s a good lighter bipod for hunting and some bench shooting? I’ve got pic rails and would like to have the option while hunting or bench shooting if I wanted to utilize it. Thanks!

I have been using a MTN gear mountain bipod for the last 3 years with complete satisfaction. I use it year round for coyote hunting, big game and for bench work and so far haven't had an issue.

Search function up top should turn up about 15 threads on this!.. I like my Hatch so far

A few of us that all hunt together use the Javelin pro hunt tac. We like that it’s light and it doesn’t stay on the rifle since it goes on and off in seconds allowing us to carry it in a pocket or backpack until needed.

I like my hatch a lot. On and off in seconds. Tall enough to shoot seated on the ground. Quick adjustments but still sturdy. It wouldn't be my first choice for benchrest though.

I’ve been impressed with my gunwerks. Just purchased a Tricer to compare but haven’t received it yet.

Thanks for all the opinions fellas. I really appreciate it. I just finished setting up my Alamo 7prc last night and will be sighting in soon. I’ll have to look into Hatch. I haven’t heard of those….

I havnt seen a great bipod.
Seems like theyre all a little bit wonky in some aspect. Theres some annoying design flaw you have to put up with. Its not like a tripod where theres bunch of great ones that you cant complain about at all.

Ive been using a hatch recently. Dont think its any better or worse than the mtn gear before it.

If im going varmint shooting or range I’ll take my old $100-150 harris every time.

The only difference I’ve really experienced is a $400-500 bipod is quick to get on off and stores easily on me somewhere. Thats all I’m paying for. IMO there is no $300 more stability or adjustability noticeable.

Had a Harris knockoff for years, now use the gunwerks v2, perfect for me.

i ran B&T's for a few years and i just switched to the gunwerks. works great only comment is i wish they had a arca version

Atlas is the one you want

What's the verdict on this? Just picked up a Tricer BC tripod and cant say im 100% happy with it. Curious if the bipod is better????

I have an atlas, it’s not ultra light but I love how solid it is. Just make sure you get one without rotating legs if you go that route. I also have a Harris that is nice too.

Best bipod is a tripod. Why carry a bipod and a tripod?

Best bipod is a tripod. Why carry a bipod and a tripod?

Understand I come at this with the belief that bipods are only for 2 use cases:
1) rifles routinely carried independently of a pack
2) taking seated shots over obstructions

For use case 2, tripods can work. They can be similar speeds to set up until you have to start messing with tripod leg length. Biggest difference in speed and stability comes when already set up behind the front rest, hugging the backpack for rear support, and the target changes elevation substantially.

We do have an excellent tripod field shooting position thread in the LRH forum here that I think you’d enjoy.
