allanschisel 0 Posted December 4, 2005 Report Share Posted December 4, 2005 Now that my 308 Saiga is converted to pistol grip configuration (kept same handguard), I'd like to add a bi-pod. I was considering a Harris, but realized when folded forward, even the short 6" to 9" ones would be right under the flash hider. Wouldn't that fry the bi-pod? Do they get shorter when folded forward? I don't think I'd want it to fold backward, then they'd be in the way for holding the rifle? What does everyone else use? Is the 6" to 9" one about right for shooting prone? Is there a better choice than Harris? I would be attaching them to the QD swivel stud and would like to attach my sling there too. TIA, Allan Schisel Quote Link to post Share on other sites
grizzlybigbore 0 Posted December 4, 2005 Report Share Posted December 4, 2005 i have a 9-13 under the barrel, and i have one of rick's vortex style flash hiders, and it works fine for me. no melting or anything. you would have no problem with a 6-9 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IndyArms 10,186 Posted December 4, 2005 Report Share Posted December 4, 2005 +1 to that... check this pic out... http://forum.saiga-12.com/index.php?showtopic=8446 thats a 223 with a harris mounted forward, and overlaps the muzzlebreak just a teeny bit.. NEVER A problem... No worries, bro... stick that bipod on there and shoot to your hearts content, you will NOT have any issues, other than STABILITY!!!! LOL Quote Link to post Share on other sites
allanschisel 0 Posted December 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2005 I haven't checked it out in the field yet, so I'm still unsure of which height to get. Why did you get a 9"-13" rather than a 6"-9"? TIA Allan Schisel Quote Link to post Share on other sites
grizzlybigbore 0 Posted December 4, 2005 Report Share Posted December 4, 2005 the 9-13 is better for prone shooting, the 6-9 is better for benchrest Quote Link to post Share on other sites
