Thread: Bipod affecting accuracy.

It depends on the bipod and the rifle I think. I've found rifles with soft/flexible fore-ends can be quite inconsistent with Harris style bipods - probably because the bipod is springy and you tend to lean into it, it loads up the springy bipod and flexible stock inconsistently (especially on uneven or loose ground). In some cases the stock can even flex to the point of touching the barrel.

I've never noticed that issue with a good rigid stock on a non spring-loaded bipod.

Shouldn't need to load pressure onto bipod with a 22 anyway though, its not like there is any recoil to think about.
