Matt from MTN is excellent and could provide better advice. If your not a cheapskate like me the Mountain is probably best…..but in the field I have been happy with the Backcountry. I was a shoot off the pack person before but this is so light now the pack is a rear rest and more stable for longer shots. I remove it completely when bush hunting or traversing steep county as my rifle is also a walking stick.

    I went hunting with a guy who had a spartan, when he missed a deer and had to run to change position it seemed awkward flopping around as they don’t push up. Stick with the NZ design and support Kiwi.

    In tussock and scrub country it looked a bit low to get over and have a clear sight line in my opinion

    Bipod recommendations high end

    Hi Ethan here from Backlanz, just a quick post to clear up a few things about our bipods!

    We have 2 ranges of bipods - our Hunting Range and Precision Range

    The Hunting Range installs directly to most rifles without modifications. These bipod pan and have the ability to follow targets. Cant/pivot is limited but and you will need to set your leg length on uneven ground which is really simple with our spring loaded notched legs. These are great, simple and extremely lightweight bipods.

    The Precision Range mounts to picatinny and arca rails. These are very sturdy and have minimal movement in comparison to other lightweight bipods. These models have lockable cant and we have purposely left out panning to maximise stability. These are designed with long range shooting in mind and have a ton of adjustability to help you get comfortable in behind the rifle.

    Any questions let me know
