I've been eyeballing both of these bipods and can't make up my mind. Is the amount of preload required similar? I like the adjustability and weight of MTN Gear and don't expect it to lock up solid, but is it a decent shooting platform given its limitations?The MTN Gear is cool, and I believe it has a place as a hunting bipod where weight is a top concern. ... There is also quite a bit of wobble in it that some people won't like. A bit of loading helps to reduce that....The Spartan bipods have worked great for me, but they also have some wobble that requires loading.
I've been using a combo of quick stix (almost zero weight penalty since I carry trekking poles anyway), a Harris bipod than I need to upgrade or ditch, and a tripod with a Triclawps mount (also carry the tripod anyways so just adding weight of the Triclawps).
