I'd like to get my dad a bipod for Christmas. I have a Modular Evolution (ME) and an Atlas of my own that I bought years ago. They work well overall. I prefer the robustness of the Atlas for shooting prone and the optional extension legs on the ME for hunting. I would buy another ME, but I wish the joints were a little stiffer - they flex quite a bit and all that movement probably isn't ideal for consistency.
Are there any other good options out there nowadays that are similar to the modular evolution, but might improve on the quality a little? The bipod needs to have long extension legs for shooting while seated. Dad is 76 and with many surgeries can't do the yoga required to shoot prone super low to the ground.
Maybe there is another option (not bipod) out there that would be better for him, since he would carry the extension bipod legs on his back anyway (not going to walk around with ~30" legs on the gun). Ideas? Super light tripod and an arca mount? I know nothing about tripods and how light they can be.
He puts on a lot of miles for his age and weight is a concern as well - the lighter the better.
Thanks!
