Bipod recommendations

[tuffcrk14]

I’ve started looking into buying a bipod that I can use to transition from rifle to rifle and be able to shoot in a seated or prone position. I’m not interested in tripods because I want to consolidate what I’m carrying with me when I go call for coyotes and not have to remember my shooting sticks or pack them around with me. So far, the two that have caught my eye are the rugged ridge gen 3 10”-27” bipod and the tricer rp. Both bipods have legs long enough to extend and not be hunched over for most shots from what I can tell. They both seem like the type of bipod I would want for calling daytime coyotes and then swap it over to my 300 win for elk, deer, etc. Curious to hear what other bipods people are running or would recommend for these situations.

Check out the Spartan mounting system. I am using it with the Spartan lite for my prone shots and the Trigger Sticks version for seated/kneeling.

This one easily replaces the front sling mount. I have one on most of my rifles and am working on getting it on all of them.

Here are a few more pictures showing how it works. This rifle had the Trinity rail on it.

The Aspis mounts easily to a LBV or binocular harness so you always have the bipod on you. Then you can carry multiple rifles.

Some other thoughts on the Spartan bipods. While I really like the mounting system, I prefer the spring-based leg extension from my old Harris bipod. At least on the lite version, extending the legs is a bit harder to adjust one-handed.

I am not 100% sold on the Trigger Sticks yet. They offer the height I want seated, but the leg extension is still awkward to me.

I've been using the Gunwerks Gen 2, not bad but getting some play in it now. Twice in the last week noticed a leg was not locked in after a few shots.

I had been looking at the gunwerks gen 2, but it seemed like the legs fully extended would be just a little too short for me. I liked how simple and compact it looked though. I hope there’s an easy fix for the legs coming loose on that.

I love my Gen 1 hatch bipod for calling. It’s just handy to leave it on the rifle for my trek to my stand. I got the 27” model and it’s plenty for seated shooting in 95% of situations. If I set up on a side hill I have found the need to slightly slouch over to shoot straight across. No a deal breaker though.

It’s also very quick to deploy and adjust.

I've been using a Harris Bipod for 10 plus years. Rock solid. Never failed. I haven't been in the market for a bipod in some time so I'm not familiar with the latest/greatest/lightest.

I own Accutac, Atlas, and Harris. I don't have much of a problem with any of them, but if I were shooting from a fixed position for precision and didn't have to worry about weight or one-handed use... I'd choose my Accutac every time.

Second the hatch bipod. Used it this morning actually. Wish it had the ability to swivel but not a deal breaker
