hunting bipod choice?

[Jahnj0584]

One of the areas im allowed to hunt is a grassy farmers field, and used my 6-9 bipod. I've sold it now to sweeten a deal on another sale, so Im back in the market. I liked the one I had, except that the springs did make some noise when setting up.

My buddy just got a UTG recon, seems really well made and lots of adjustment but its 3x the price and weighs more. I also only have a sling swivel to work off of.

Should I rebuy the one I had, just start packing an extra sweater and shoot off my bookbag, or splurge on something higher end? I don't want to be carrying it through the woods for hours so quick connect is essential.

If you don't want weight, check out Spartan Javelin bipods

I just got the Spartan Javelin bipod, it has a magnetic adapter that attaches to the sling swivel. I got the long 8"-12". It's made of aluminum and carbon fibre so it's lightweight. I didn't want a bipod that stayed on the rifle all the time, I wanted something that would attach quickly when needed. It looks to be well made but a little pricey like everything else. I haven't had a chance to test it in the field yet, but don't foresee any problems.

I'm very happy with my Harris S-BRM 6-9" as it swivels to account for uneven ground.

I like the looks of the swagger bipods for sitting.

I have two spartan bipods, but just swapped to a tier one evolution bipod to see how it performs.

Where and how I hunt, walking sticks or a staff/monopod are the ONLY alternative, bipods are just not tall enough or quick enough.

Op: $100 bipod is expensive...

Cgn: check out this $300 one!

Have you considered a small tripod? Last time I was looking Amazon had one for like $35, it was like 8" tall I want to say. Bog also makes one: https://www.boghunt.com/pods/tripods/bog-rapid-shooting-rest-tripod/110113.html#start=1

Small Harris bipod.

Keeps the gun off the ground when you put it down.

Not much other use!

Otherwise, choose one that fits with your shooting style and capabilities.
