The only thing I would add to this is to sight in and practise with the same method you use for hunting. If you want to use a bipod, sight in with the bipod. If you prefer to use a pack for a rest,...

I like to have the option. Shooting from a pack can be difficult in steep undulating tussock country, which is the majority of stuff I've been hunting down south. In addition to the bipod, I...

It’s horses for courses, but the magnetic quick attach system used by Spartan and some others solves the problem of bipod getting snagged up in the bush & so easy to attach when needed & weigh next...

A light weight bag with the addition of a thermal liner for winter can work too.

I use my walking poles as a bipod - great in the steep stuff and I am carrying them anyway ...

2x walking poles makes a good makeshift bipod. Not aware of any tripods approaching 300-400gm in weight like a bipod? Although they are very practical otherwise

Last deer I shot utilised my leki walking pole with the rifle stock resting in the fabric hand loop of the handle. Could not get my pack close enough to rest on and the tussock was too high to take a...

A beam scale with magnetic damping can't be beat unless you intend loading hundreds of the same thing then a powder thrower calibrated with the aforesaid beam can't be beat. Both run on gravity, mass...
