Bipod for 10-22

Harris or one of the clones.

I use a 9-13" swivel model and it clears the ground easily when using a Butler Creek 25rd magazine.

I use this bipod as well, it's great. The swivel feature is great when you are shooting on a table that is slightly uneven to the ground.
 
Harris for me too - some of the clones seem to get good reviews (and they are cheaper by 1/2 in some cases) but I KNOW Harris is good for the money and have never had one fail on me.

In terms of height, 6-9 might be too small depending on the mag you use. I think back to a Mini 14 that had a folding stock.... when I used the 30/5rd mags I had to extend my 9-13 all the way to 13in to allow the mag to clear because the gun would sit on the mag if I left the bipod at 9 inches. The 25rd 10/22 mags are quite a bit smaller though so you should be able to get away with the 9-13 and leave it at 9in.

9-13 is my favorite bipod for FIELD use because I can almost always get the perfect setup somewhere between 9-13 inches. 6-9 sometimes leaves me wanting a bit more height whereas 13-25 is too bulky (and 13in is sometimes too high). For shooting off the bench, 6-9 seems to be a bit more steady than the 9-13 or larger...
 
I have a knock off harris on my 10/22 and it works fine..... got it with an ar15 upper I bought and it seems sturdy. the only thing I would change on it would be to get rid of the thumb screw and get a hex bit head which would be smaller.

my favorite bipod bar none is the versa pod or the parker hale...... they are way nicer to use and the hand stop mount would be perfect for the 10/22, and easy to take on and off and use on different rifles as long as you buy spare mounts.

here is a picture of it mounted on the rifle

ya thats a nice one, how would i go abouts putting it on the rifle? Does it fit to the carbine barrel band or do i have to drill the stock and put on some bolts. Sorry i never used a bipod so i have no idea how to put it on. :redface:
 
Most Harris type bipods attach to a sling swivel stud - if your rifle does not have one they are quite easy to install yourself (or get a different stock like a Hogue stock that has one already AND you will then have a sweet stock to go with your new bipod). And this is the path to how a $250 rifle can become a $1000+ tackdriver ;-)

Never mounted one on that stock, is it synthetic or wood? I'm guessing synthetic.

With wood stocks, you generally drill a slightly undersized hole, and then screw the stud in. Wood studs have over sized flutes (like a large screw) that will dig in and cut a very tight channel in the wood.

With a synthetic stock, you can either drill a clearance hole and cement a stud in, or if there is room under the barrel, use a threaded stud and back it with a washer and nut. You might have to grind the top of the stud/nut down to get it to fit.

Something like this might do the trick. http://www.unclemikes.com/adtemplat...y=1279575&subcatky1=4548842&subcatky2=2000192

Or, you could use a barrel band type stud, but that might introduce unwanted barrel harmonics.
 
I have a sks carbine, and I am tring to track down a bipod for my rifle. I have asked a few gun shops in the lower mainland Vacouver BC, and they have told me they don't carry them, and don't recommend me to put one on. I would like to have one anyways, because it looks cool, and i think it will help steady the rifle. dose anyone a have bipod they would like to sell or know a place i can pick one for a good price?
thanks
Jamie
