M14 Bipods

[Dirk72]

I have never been a big fan of bipods, but most of my shooting has been at hunting ranges well under 300 yards where a fella can sling up and expect minute-of-whitetail accuracy to do the rest. I have dabbled with the Harris bipods and am thinking of putting one on my M1A for gits n' shiggles.

Problem is that since I used them last - back in the 80's and early 90's - a bunch of new models have hit the market and I don't know a thing about them. Are any of you running bipods on your M14's? Any preferences?

Harris bipods are the gold standard. Get a GG&G rail to replace the sling loop, and you can attach the bipod to it.

USGI M2 bipod for the classic M14 look, not necessarily for accuracy.

Yeah, I run a Harris 6-9. If you're running a USGI stock you can add the Sadlak bipod stud or a rail and then use a rail to Harris adapter.

I like my M2 bipod, that's for sure

Machman, do you know what issue of PS Magazine the article on the bipod was in?

Never mind! I found it. Issue 147, February 1965.

Ok GI bipod, who make a good one? What about real USGI M2? How hard are they to find? I only ever came across two GI's and was able to buy one of them. Some of the clones I've owned have ranged from ok to not so good. Most are loose compared to the GI

Here's one of my M305's set up with an SWFA SS 10x scope, and 6-9" bipod. Hands down one of my favourite rifles.

I have a Springfield bipod I got in the late 80s. I shutter to think what they ask for them now I think I paid 200 back then.
