Hi, can anyone recommend a decent bipod, or will the cheapo Chinese doo off eBay ?

 

Cheers mexlad

No in plane text. The latches go easily they are noisy when opening the legs. And the legs aren't always level so unless your buying a tilt one it cants the rifle.

 

Harris are brilliant, for the extra money you get true quality.

 

I'd get a Harris 9-13 tilt.

Solid as a rock. But it's very rare I use the tilt.

Is the 9-13 the best size you recon?

It all depends on the terrain/ground that you shoot. And more importantly your size!!

A 13" bipod is no good if your an 8 foot 20 stone lump of a fella. Well not whilst laid down.

Again. If all your shooting is done from wall tops and your only 3foot six...... You get my point.

 

You will also get limited elevation with a 9-13. So no shooting into trees from a laid down position.

 

Mine suits me.

What's yours pal

[moxy 617]

Harris 9-13 tilt.

 

But I'm 3 foot 2 and 5stone wet through

 

It's a good solid bi pod and covers my needs from airgun and beyond.

Haha I'm 6ft1 18stone what size would your recon

A Harris 9-13 will see most hunters with what they need bipod wise. Yes they may be more expensive, but the quality in the materials explains the difference as does the lifetime warranty. I had a Deben, for a few months, damaged the stock, fell to bits, then the spring on thelegs whacked me on the knuckles. Bought my first Harris next day, won't have anything else...

If your shooting low or down then the 9-13.

If you need to shoot over crops or tall grass then perhaps the next size up. To be honest I can't say.

A few of my last outings the sticks would have come in very handy. But as always I left them in the van!!

I might get the Harris then for the sake of a few extra quid

I have a nikko sterling / Harris copy and it's pants in comparison to the Harris.

And I too have trapped my hand in the cheaper version. But I still use it.
