Default Opinion on Bipod for M&P15-22

Greetings,

In an effort to make my discretionary funds dwindle as quickly as possible, I am considering a bipod for my recently-purchased M&P15-22. I am posting this here because apparently the forum doesn't have a specific area to discuss accessories like this and it is, after all, for my 15-22 so this seemed like the best place.

I've included a pic of an XAegis M-Lok bipod from Amazon that is now selling for $30. I like it because it doesn't have a bulky bracket or springs, and it is M-Lok compatible with the foregrip on my rifle. It doesn't appear to be bulky or heavy, which are the primary reasons why I am looking at it.

If anyone else uses a bipod on their 15-22 or this particular bipod in general I would appreciate your opinion.

I've been happy with the Magpul bipod, but it does have the bracket and knob that make it bulkier than the one you show. 11oz, and has pan and tilt.

May need to get some 10 round magazines. I use a bipod on mine shooting from a range table. The 25 round mag is too long. Wish there was one in between the two as far as lenghf. I bought two 10 round mags and rarely use the 25 round magaziness.

Unless your barrel is free floated. A bipod can push the plastic forend against the barrel and cause you groups to go haywire.

Looks like a cool little bipod for $30.

It's not like it has to take the recoil punishment of some 700 nitro express elephant caliber, and if you don't like it you're only out $30.

I know the OP doesn't like them, but I guess I'm old fashion. I'll stick with my tried and true Harris bipods.

Harris bipods are cool, owned a few in the past.
These days I own a cheap knockoff that snaps on to a picitinny rail, heck all my attachments snap on to a picitinny rail!
