Use for a bipod beside target shooting.
Anybody use a bipod in the woods while hunting squirrels? I don't relish laying, or sitting in a bunch of wet leaves or muddy snow. There's almost always a convenient tree or fence post to prop against. And laying on the ground lowers your line of vision too much for a ground target in brush, or for a target high in a tree.
At worst I'll kneel to rest atop a stump or something. Am I missing something with no bipod?

Not at all turbo man,
I just know alot of people in RFC use bipods. I prefer not to. They are in the way alot. I may buy one for my .223 next spring when I go p-dog shooting. I see no real practical use when hunting. Maybe for p-dog or ground squirrel where it is more like a target shooting.

If you choose to get a bipod, I would suggest a Harris. The are worth the extra money! The cheep ones like the B-Square models are not worth it. Stay away from any that clamp around the bbl! They can scratch the gun and are a pain to take off and put back on.
The Harris bipod is more stable, you can get different models to suit almost any task including ones with enough leg height to use in a Sitting position. And they mount and dismount very easily. If you had a harris you could throw it into a daypack and carry it with you while you stalk. If you come to a situation where you'd like the have the bipod, it attaches in less than a minute. You might want a coin to tighten the attachment screw. I have a couple cheep no name ones, one B- Square, and two Harris Bipods. The cheep ones are gathering dust. (anybody want to buy one?)
I have heard good things about the Versa-Pod Bipods but have yet to use one. They are not cheep, but not quite as expensive as the Harris so I will probably try one sooner or later.
I use a Harris on my Savage 300 Win Mag and it is very stable. The B-Square's legs kept folding up when I used it on a mini 14.

Hey Everybody,
I haven't heard anybody talk about Caldwell Bipods - I just got one from Hornet on ebay and I love it. Way lighter than the Harris with a much simpler design - easy on & off, and they have a built in cant & swivel feature that allows you to slightly adjust without moving the bipod around with your gun. Also, no exposed springs and hardware to snag if you pack it into the woods.
Does anybody else have one of these?

turbo man,
I have a harris bipod on my rem.700 in .223 and I love it for hunting squirrels. A lot of the time I will leave the bipod with the legs swepped foward to use as a rest for barb wire fences and then I don't have to worry about scratching my rifle. It comes in vary handy shooting from the bench and when it comes time for cleaning the bore. I put bipods on all my accurate rifles.

I use a harris bipod on all my hunting rifles. deer/elk rifles to vvarmint rigs.
usuauly a short one like shooting laying down. and most of the time this is diable because deer hunting I can lay at the top of ridge and shoot down or uphill. lay across flat rock or a snow tree stump
Idahos not fat and theres all kinds of good shots to be had with short bipod and alittle dirt on your chest.
