gixer1 Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 (edited) Has anyone got/used the bipods which mounts as per normal one but is used from the seated position? I'm not too keen on sticks and wanted to try these but not sure which length to get or if they are any good... Any opinions welcome...

pavman Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 I tried one, no good but just got another bi pod stick with a butt rest will try to get a pic up if that helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beardo Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 they're ok - i still tend to prefer sticks as you get a safer angle, but at least they tend to clear you on medium length grass. I don't find them much more stable than sticks though (i have the Harris Bi-Pod Model High 1A2 High 13.5-23") Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

al4x Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 I've got one but never use it simply moves too much, far easier with the tripod sticks I've got that go down to the perfect height Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eccles Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 I use harris 25c 13.5inch to 27 no problem with them from sitting position Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12borejimbo Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 Same here, and to be honest, I love it, great for sitting out foxing with your back up against a tree, or shooting over long grass ect, the Bipods are over £100, but worth it in my opinion, but you can have best if both worlds, laying down, with the 13" leg, or sitting with the 27" leg.

I have a gift voucher for the gun shop in Ballater but they haven't really have an awful lot in the few times I have been up there so I might order one through them before the vouchers are out of date!

dadioles Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 Take a look at www.boggear.com I got a CLD3 and love it. Also fitted the Xtreme shooting rest. Expensive, but then so are my Harris bipods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beardo Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 i use the Hammers tripod which looks similar to the Bog Gear but a lot cheaper(same head fixing arrangement - much better than the rubbish tripods with the third leg coming from the second) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kent Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 I use one now and again, its good for when the grass is up, waiting it out with you back against a tree etc. One thing i realy like is in its shortest length its a slightly better prone pod for a lot of venues were the grass or undergrowth is a bit too high. That said it also puts even more weight forwards on the gun so its not something i leave fitted much on walkabout, mostly it goes in the Roe sack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
