paprotective 362 Posted August 18, 2010 Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 Ok I managed to get a factory S308 wood handguard for my Janis (S308 rifle). It has a standard type sling point on it.. Which type/brand of Bi-Pod should I get for her?? I was thinking 9-13" types versus the shorter 5-9" ones?? Any brands you folks HAVE already?? Obviously Harris is not going to be in this price range.. I heard the UTG was decent and then I saw a Winchester at Walmart for $40.. but the mount seemed loose..I dunno.. Any help would be great.

SaigaNoobie 66 Posted August 18, 2010 Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 Spend the extra on the Harris with the leg notches. http://www.mountsplus.com/AR-15_Accessories/AR-15_Scope_Rings/HBP-1A2-LM0.html That's what I have and it works well and is WAAY better than the stuff you'll find at walmart "Rockpoint" or whatever bipods.

yellowcarbon 4 Posted August 18, 2010 Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 I have both a Harris and Rockpoint bipod. The Harris is very much a superior product and worth the price difference. Unfortunely, a swivel & notched version is going to be closer to $100 than $50. I do see them on the used boards for sale, but they get snatched up quickly. I also have a POF Sopmod bipod, but they go for over $100 and it is made to attach to rails. It is quite a bit heavier than the Harris, although a bit more flexible over all. As far as heights, the 5-9" works well on the bench. The 9-13" is more of a general purpose style bipod. Also, a feature I like about the 9-13" Harris is that it is the same length folded up as the 5-9" is deployed. Since many shot it deployed, I personally will go with the 9-13". But I am a big guy (6'3" 300#), so I don't/can't get low when I shoot. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

cw3sting 12 Posted August 19, 2010 Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 MidwayUSA has all the Harris bipods on sale right now. I'm doing with the Leapers UTG for now. They'll do till I've got the money for better. Good luck. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DrGonZo 157 Posted August 27, 2010 Report Share Posted August 27, 2010 I have a few RockMount harris style bi-pods that I got at Longs Drug Store (Now CVS Pharmacy) for less than $50 a piece. I have zero complaints about them. Easy to mount/remove, and they are rock solid. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Arnisandyz 0 Posted August 27, 2010 Report Share Posted August 27, 2010 They carry bipods at your friendly neighborhood drug store? All we have are bandaids and tampons. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yup, they have a small hunting/fishing section. They used to sell guns until a few years ago... they still carry ammo though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
