for prone I use Harris 9 to 13inch
Off a bench, you want a sandbag. In the field, get the tallest sitting height bi-pod you can find with swivel and pan options. Prone is useless when you cant see through grass and fixed legs take too long to adjust.
Versapod, sold by site sponsor Alberta Tactical Rifle, much better than the harris IMO
Works well for me x2
too bad you have a shooters ridge bi-pod not a harris
I also use shooters ridge 13.5-23 and its to high for the bench or prone and its to low for sitting even more so when there is snow on the ground. Going to be looking into a taller bi-pod in the near future.
Ive got a Harris on my main predator rig and am not happy with it at all. The one leg freezes up when I extend it and have a heck of a time getting it to move back. I also don't like that I can't put my rifle in its case when I go from one area to the next with out taking it off. (Harris are a pain to take off quickly)
I think the Versa-Pod is the best from people who have owned both and I plan on buying one soon.

If you go for the Harris, get a "25" in the 1A2 series or S (swivel), but stay away from the "25C". The 25C is too long for most prone shooting unless you are 6'4" with orangutan arms. I find the 25 1A2 to be the most stable in the field, prone or sitting, though many find the swivel on the S series useful saying the legs take too long to adjust. I have never found the leg adjustment to be problematic.
As for the shooters ridge copy of the harris, what a POS; I had one given to me and it seems the legs do not open to the same place / angle and therefore make the legs uneven from the start. I have seen a couple of others that come with those 10/22 Charger pistols (they must be from shooters ridge) and they had the same problem.
Can't say I have had a good look at the Versa-pods.
Cheers.

Thought I would post this for those unfamiliar with the Versapod, I have 2 of them and won't buy anything else.

even the highest harris is not good enough for me in hunting situations since im 6'1. tried one out and its a few inches short...
shooting sticks would be much better if you are taller but i just ended up making some collapsible shooting sticks out of aluminum arrows

No thanks , I'd sooner buy a new versa pod. The case thing is minor but the legs freezing up on me sucks.
