    Bipod's

    Hey guys,

    Been looking around at bipod's for my 6.5mm SAUM. There are a few choices just wondering what people's opinions of the Chinese ones (Kozac) or as I want to call them Kojak are and how they compare to the Harris?

    Cheers,

    Michael.

    I tried a sun optics I think it's called. It's been fine, no issues. I'm pretty sure they have a life time warranty, find them at workshop innovation.

    buy quality (Harris), you'll spend a heap of $ on custom rifle, optics and load dev, so don't short change yourself on components like bipod

    I had a Bush buck on a .17HMR, nothing wrong with it. How ever and just my option get a Versa-pod. I have had two now and really rate them. Very quick to attach or take off, not heavy but very tough. Cheaper than a Harris ( some models ) and does as good a job.

    This is what you want Gunworks Ltd - Harris Bipod - Bipod of Death however your mates wok like you shooting over their bonnets.
    All those with dogs waiting no longer fear death. Those with many dogs waiting even welcome it in it's time.

    Bipod's

    Just got a fixed 1A2 Harris, found the swivel to be a pain in the ass and far heavier for no gain

    Nah, started with a fixed model. Took it back 24 hrs later and changed to the swivel. Only big mistake I made was getting friction legs. Have added spikes and pod loc since.

    Prefer the Atlas type now - has the pan feature missing on the Harris. Plus quick change feet options.

    just a thought but have you tried just shooting off a pack or a rolled up jacket etc? I know plenty of people who "thought" they needed a bipod to shoot anything and were pleasantly surprised that with a bit of getting used to they could shoot just as well or better off a pack. Youre carrying it anyway so Its cheap, its free, it doesn't weigh anything and it works...
