Set up and ready to go.

Rem 700 police in .308, Accuracy International AICS, Badger 20 MOA base, Harris Bipod topped with a Falcon 4-14x44 from Allen Gun Works. Thanks to John and the guys at Wolverine for the quick setup and willingness to take any of my extra money..lol

New to longer range shooting and cant wait to get out and play.

Nice rifle!

But turn your bipod around - it's on backwards!

Cheers, Carl

The Harris bipod can be installed either way and in fact, there is a big advantage installing it "backward" as shown.

Beautiful rifle ! Looking forward to your range report.
 
Hapkido99 Really nice rifle. I'm sure you'll like the AICS. Mine works great!

" Harris bipod can be installed either way and in fact, there is a big advantage installing it "backward" as shown."

You've got my curiousity, how is there a big advantage in the position of the bipod in the pic ? The only thing I can see is when folded they don't project ahead of the stock . If it was a pivot with a lock it would be out of reach.
 
Hi Dryfire,

some operators install the bipod like that due to the environment they work in because the less body movement it takes to deploy the bipod, the less chance of being detected. This is particularly true with the longer guns (imagine dragging one along with your body on the ground).

What operators?
I don't think it takes so much more 'body movement' then extending your arm out 4 inches to pull down the legs in the 'proper position'

I'd think this way wouldn't be as 'stable' because if the shooter were to lean into the rifle for the shot, he is leaning forward and it would be easier for the legs to calapse if the bipod was setup 'backwards'/legs toward the shooter. IMO if the legs are setup facing straight to the tip of the barrel, then leaning into the shot to absorb the shot and recoil won't allow the legs to 'fold in' at all. Just my opinion :sniper:

Airsoft commando alert.:eek: :runaway: :rolleyes:
 
I doubt the legs would collapse once they are open.

I have a versapod and though different from the harris my legs can fold both ways and I can't get them to fold when leaning.. You have to press both the legs together before it will fold in either direction, i'm pretty sure the same or similar applies to the harris.
 
Very nice, my buddy has a similar set up but with a custom heavier barrell with no taper.
Get your self a nice trigger for it and you,ll be quite happy.

I cannot see the logic behind this, the bi-pod in this postion could collapse much easier, now that would be great when the gun fires and the recoil springs one of the legs backwards and the gun flips in the direction. The Harris does not have leg locks like the Parker Hale and Versapod.
 
Have any of you actually had a Harris collapse under field use? Does anyone out there actually mount the Harris so that the legs fold backwards towards the action?

The thing I noticed as backwards were the rings. The nuts should be on the opposite side from the loading port. And WTF is with the monster ring trend lately?

The Burris Xtreme rings are cheap and they work extremely well for the money. I have 3 sets myself. I do wish they were not so huge though.
