Couldn’t be without my bipods. I use a 9-13” mostly. It tilts and adjusts easily. It covers pretty much all shot scenarios - steeply up, steeply down, 100m, 600m, everything in between. Steeply down is the one time I’ll sometimes rest it on the edge of a slope with the legs folded up, resting it on my hat or rarely the little backpack.
I don’t shoot anything more grunty than a .308 and I firmly hold the forend. Works for me. Can’t ever see me giving them up.
