muttley94 74 Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 Hi guys, I've got the hw100 and looking at getting a bipod for it, from what i've read so far it seems the Harris makes are popular, was thinking of a 9-13', any advice or suggestions would be appreciated as this is the first bipod I've bought! Also do I need an adaptor for it- Ive seen some online and not 100% sure?! I will include a picture of what ive seen online and of my gun... 1 Quote Link to post

muttley94 74 Posted January 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 i think its just a sling stup I'd need to put in but wanted to check before buying one!? Quote Link to post

Mine clips onto the sling stud at the front, and the sling clips onto the stud on the Harris pod. Quote Link to post
stealthy1 3,964 Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 You need a front stud, you'll see how the pod fits when you buy it, it's easy to sort, 10 mins at the most. Quote Link to post
toby63 1,236 Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 harris all the way and get the tilt version if possible so if your shooting on uneven ground you dont need to mess about adjusting the legs ? 1 Quote Link to post
villaman 9,983 Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 No to a harris, over rated looks awful to noisy I use the £14.99 from js ramsbottom http://www.jsramsbottom.com/categorylist/bipods--rests-bipods/ 1 Quote Link to post

philpot 5,031 Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 When I bought my HW, the RFD popped a sling stud on the gun replacing the stock bolt so no extra holes and I bought a Deben 6-9'' tilt bipod. Very pleased but had I seen some feed back on Airgun forum first with a number of guys using cheap ones from ebay AND being very happy with them, I would have saved the cash and tried one of those saving £50. I have however heard that some guys have had issues with using this type of stock stud causing accuracy problems although I have had no such problems. Phil 1 Quote Link to post
Merlin21 143 Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 I got an el cheapo e bay one on mine works a treat .. save your money on these named ones you're only paying for the name IMO...ATB Quote Link to post
random 659 Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 Mine is a deben 9-13" and I find it spot on height wise,for me anyway and I'm around 6'2" so don't know if that helps? I bought it for golf course shooting to keep above the grass, fairway and rough,it doesn't tilt so can't comment on the benefits of those,the front stock screw is replaced by a stud which screws in its place as the forestock is quite thin wood so not ideal for drilling one into,though I've read about it being done ok? They are great to use as the stability added a notable distance to my kill range,quick and easy to use as well,although mine fits the stud quite tight and is fairly hard to get back off! Let us know when you decide and how you get on with it... Quote Link to post
tomburras 2,730 Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 If you need a QD stud for your hw100 like the one in your pics that screws into the existing stock bolt hole I have one spare. i bought it for my hw100 but I have a cs700 stock on mine and the stud isn't compatable with that stock. pm me your address and ill post it to you FOC. 2 Quote Link to post
muttley94 74 Posted January 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2016 Thanks for all the feedback guys, I will search around then and see if I can find one I like and that has good reviews! Mine is a deben 9-13" and I find it spot on height wise,for me anyway and I'm around 6'2" so don't know if that helps?

There's no way I'd want to drill the stock, fair play to those who do but knowing my luck id ruin it, and considering the price of the gun thats not something I'm willing to risk Quote Link to post
