I got a Tip Top which is a lesser known product (I think). It's the notched-leg version. I got the 6"-9" version. Might want the 9"-13" if in tall grass. Very well made and both pivots and pans. If mounted to a rail it'll need the little rail adapter. They make several models.Not a bad price and perhaps even cheaper now.

Here's someone's review from another forum:
"I picked up my first Bolt Gun about a year ago. Remington 700 in .308. Ask about a quality bipod to anyone and Harris will undoubtedly be mentioned. I almost picked one up, but I'm always one to shop around for a good deal. I ended up going with a Tip Top pivot Series-VII with both pivot and pan features.

Got it for under $60 from their website, as I found a coupon code for 10% off when buying direct. While I don't have much to compare it to, it is definitely a good value. It's well constructed and the features can't be beat in that price point. The "pan" feature is pretty cool and the pivot works very well. I will say, that when locked down, it is possible to still make it slightly pivot and pan if you really exert some force on it. Given that this was my first experience with a bipod, maybe that's normal. Maybe it's not. Either way, it's a nonissue for me. The legs are spring-loaded and have two levels for locking them down; detents and a tension dial. Both work well and I've not had any issues with them coming out of place. The legs are NOT notched, while some of the Harris are. But, the pivot and pan compensates for the absence if you are on somewhat uneven ground. In addition, you can still lock them in place at any point between stowed and deployed positions. I'm sure it's a little cumbersome compared to if it had notches, but it works and positively locks in place.
Overall I'm pretty pleased. I'm not a competition marksman and I won't be knocking it around in Iraq anytime soon. At the end of the day, I've been able to consistently shoot 1 MOA groups and better at 100 yards, seated from a bench, with no additional support other than the Tip Top bipod, with cheap ball ammo. The times that they've opened up are all on me; getting lazy with trigger control, breathing, sight picture, etc. As long as I do my part, this bipod and the 700 do theirs."
