Like title says, looking at getting a new bipod.
Been running the atlas for a few years. I like it, it works but ran into a few situations where it was just short enough to cause some issues at times.

Has anyone done a comparison of these two?
Pros and cons of each other than weight and cost?

If you don't care about the weight or cost difference then the cyke pod double pull is more convenient to use and more adjustable. That being said its way to heavy for hunting in my opinion.

The cyke feels more solid compared to the elevate, and the leg deployment/adjustment is better. Plus I prefer arca over pic.

I've used both and the atlas cal tall, and what I found to be the best for me is the gunwerks on the rifle and a tripod for hunting rifle when I care about keeping the weight down.

Really depends on your style of hunting. I do alot of moving around with my gun in hand so I want a well balanced lightweight rig. The extra half pound would suck.

The Gunwerks Elevate if weight is a consideration.

MDT Triple-pull if weight is not a big concern and you can stomach the price.

The MDT double-pull would be my last choice of the three for hunting.

Edit to add: I own all three of the abovementioned.

Why last choice on the double? I don't know if I would ever need the height of the triple and "think" the light weight double would be fine for prone stuff.
Obviously if I could stomach the triple price, I could use it for nrl/comps at a later date and it does have the height advantages of needed.
I just don't typically need that height right now or have for a while but things change in the field drastically as everyone knows

The Gunwerks bipod does everything the double-pull can do but it's half the price and about half the weight.

The triple-pull allows you to take high-kneeling shots with a rear tripod and totally ignore tall grass or sagebrush.

My son and brother both killed their Colorado bucks a couple of weeks ago using that tactic. It's fast and extremely stable.

Here's what that looks like. We were practicing at lunch the day my son shot his buck.
