Hi guys
I am a new to hunting and I have a Tikka t3 with a Harris Bipod. When I carry it on a sling with muzzle upwards, it hurts on my shoulders from the edges of the bipod. How do you guys carry rifle with bipod in your hunting trips????

Have you adjusted it to various lengths? Mine has never been an issue, t3 with harris
Put it in you'r day bag.if you need it on to shoot a animal you should have time to attach it

Thanks again

Ditto the above comments.
Haven't had issues with mine digging in to my shoulder, does make it a bit top heavy tho so if walking a reasonable distance its in the day pack until in "the zone"
If I put it in my bag and attach my sling to the stud, i need to undo the sling and then put the bipod on which will take a few minutes and can make some noise. isn't it??? Is there any way that I can attach the bipod only when needed without removing the sling???
I sometimes carry my rifle off my shoulder with the barrel pointing down, butt to shoulder, you can bring it up faster than the other way round, only prob if you arse up you'll probably have dirt up the spout, but have done this for a long time without a prob
Try a military 3point sling. Safer than on the shoulder and way more comfortable. Also much quicker to bring into action.
get an eberlestock pack
i dont use a sling anymore
gun in bag, need gun pull from bag, put back in bag , job done
I'd suggest practising your shooting without the bipod. You'll be better off without it, unless you're taking long distance shots, in which case you'll have plenty of time to fit it up
