Dude, what is that bipod?

Hatch Outwest

Hatch Outwest 27”. It’s heavy, but one of the better bipods for western hunting and various shooting situations

Guess so. 20 oz. Geez. It's something to ponder though. That looks legit

I carry as few things as possible in the back country, but the things I do carry, I fully believe they are worth it and I don’t dwell on the weight too much. Big spotting scope, heavy stable tripod, and the hatch are probably my only heavy items. But I think they’re worth it.

I really like my ckye pod for triple the money. Dont try one. You will like it.

I gotta ask, at that cost and weight, why do you not just run a premium tripod?
And do you leave the Ckye on your gun while hunting?

A triple pull at 3lbs is so close to being the weight of a tripod, that I'm not sure I'd buy one even if it was priced like a Hatch

I've played with all three, and I just don't see where the Ckye fits for me

Lightweight double pull.
I have a RRS tripod too.
I also have a set of viper sticks and blaser sticks.

I hunt a bunch and a bunch of different areas / states. it all has its place.

Yeah, you guys lost me at $800 bipod lol. I’ll bet it’s awesome tho

I actually didn’t love the CKYE pod, and liked the Hatch quite a bit more. So I got lucky with that and saved the money haha

I feel the same way in reverse.

Hahaha sometimes it just works out that way! Like I like the 3-18 Tenmile more than the
4-20 ATACR. So I saved $1500 and 10oz and neither of those was intentional. Just a preference that worked out .

I carry a premium tripod also. But a bipod is much faster and always at the ready. Prone is also always the goal for me too. And I can use the bipod seated, and the tripod as a rear rest, which is insanely rock solid also. I just haven’t adapted to the tripod mounted rifle yet.

I do the same as what you describe. The Hatch fits that role pretty nicely.

I wrongly assumed Reburn was talking about a triple-pull Ckye, since that is more appropriate comparison to the Hatches. So my questions to him were based on that assumption

While the triple pull is the closest to a hatch if I'm going to shoot sitting its likely going to be clipped into my tripod. I have found the lightweight double pull to plenty when I'm shooting in most prone-ish positions.
