Currently I run Caldwell pivot models. They are cheaper but with proper care they work quite well.
If I had the money to spend on a really good one I would have a MDT triple pull or a tricer RP

Myself as well as those I hunt with regularly all run bog pod for predator hunting. With the generally snowy conditions prone is often not an option so you need some night for sitting shots. The pivot without having to move the legs is nice to.
I modified a caldwell 13 - 27" pivot / swivel bipod I added a couple aluminum golf club shafts to the bottom so that I can sit in my little chair and keep my butt off the ground, works perfect for calling coyotes or in the gopher patch 
Shooting sticks or trigger sticks. Bipod or tripod. I kinda prefer the tripod if going that route. Generally I run homemade sticks that open up into a quad pod for extra support for those hung up dogs. Fiberglass driveway markers with hile drilled and paracord for pivots. Less than $6- pair.. I've shot out past 800yds off them.
Have found a few uses for those econo glass rods, nice they are in 3 diameters
My sticks are actually tent pole sections, each leg is 2 sections shock-corded together, full height to half height in a second, packs easy too
1/2” fiberglass electric fence posts and about 3 castration bands make a super stable, indestructable set of shooting sticks, and its cheap. Hardest part about it is buying them, someone is going to make a joke about you making 10 feet of fence.
I don't like bipods because I don't want it fixed on my rifle. I carry bogpod tri pod sticks.
But look at Swagger bipods. That's probably what I would buy if I wanted one. A lot of guys use them, They are well made.

I often use the high, sitting height bipod while shooting prone, which how I do most of my calling. On flat ground it seems higher than optimum, mostly because it is.
On the other hand, much of the time the stubble is too high for the 13” low Harris. Or I’m laying in snow which holds me up but the bipod legs punch straight through to the ground and are too short. Or I’m in rolling hills and have to set up on high ground. I find my position but the ground drops away in front of me and the legs are too short to shoot level. In those cases too high is just right, and just right is not enough.
Maybe its too much to wish for a 27” bipod that would go down to 6 or 7 inches, but I sure could use a higher low. Or maybe make some extensions for a low.

Sounds like you need to get a tricer bipod. Max height is 30 and lowest is 6 with the legs splayed out all the way.
I’ll check that out, thanks
