Things to think about when looking for a bipod, weight and length need to be known
Plenty of people think they want a bipod but you’ll find out real fast if you got the wrong one when you go hunting or go to the range and it’s too short or too long for your shooting position. Harris Bipods are probable the best starting point because there are plenty of options but you will need to think about how you are going to attach it your rifle or carbine, whether you want one that cants or swivels, and also be aware that you are adding weight to your gun and it’s going to be heavier. I started out with a few Harris bipods on my 22 Magnum rifle and ended up switching one off an SKS rifle because it was able to be folded up and had a better length than the one I started out with. My DSA STG FAL came with a cool folding bipod but I found out later on that the way it attached to the barrel, actually affected the barrel harmonics and I could see that the gun would start to string bullets after a few rounds and dramatically deteriorate the groups.
There are plenty of bipods to look at in the $100 price range but it can jump way up from their if you want features like canting and swiveling. Once you get some experience at shooting prone, shooting behind barriers good bipods will be another tool to help you get in a good firing position and reduce stress, especially if you have a heavy barrel rifle. Many of our Law Enforcement go with the GPS Grip Pod which can be available in a polymer or metal and there are considerable weight differences between each, this quick deployment is really meant for firing over a vehicle or behind a barricade but it does have the ability to just become a fore grip if you don’t need the legs deployed.
