Do not buy this bipod!

Put a roll pin it then...if you feel like it.

I was going to do that, and the roll pins would have solved the issue with the bipod, if it had two roll pins it would be a fine bipod for the price. But the last time it flew apart I couldn't find the long spring (there are two springs in each leg) so I just pitched it in the garbage can.

I've got what Brett has, the Shooters Ridge 6-9", holding it side by side to the harris they are almost identical, Works extremely well and was only around $45

rip,

Yep it's as close as can be! I am actually impressed at the quality of the Shooters Ridge. I spent more on the QD mount than the Bi Pod costs

 

[rip3000gt]

Yeah i dont have the qd mount but it still only takes about 30 seconds to get off and and a minute to get back on. I still think a 7-12 inch would be perfect for this gun 9 just doesnt clear the mag

What do you mean it doesn't clear? 6-9 clears on mine?

maybe your mount is taller than mine but when I have the legs extended to the 9" my mag hits the table before the stock does fully extended

 

[Brett248Vista]

That's odd!

I know the QD mount adds 3/4" or so, and I have the swivel mount which is a little higher. The mag doesn't clear at 6" with the stock all the way in, it takes about 8" to clear.

Besides the $80 adaptor, is there another adaptor that can be used to attach a Harris/Harris clone??

 

[Bob2Bob]

Are the Harris bipods the "gold standard"? Or is there something better?

 

[Brett248Vista]

I think the Harris are one of the gold standards.. There are others, CAA has a new polymer bipod out that looks to be very well designed it's also pricey in the $100+ range.

Panzer,

There are all sorts of Harris to Picatinny rail adapters of varying prices, they just aren't QD type, they use a thumb screw instead of a flip lever. I believe UTG makes one.
