I do a fair bit of woodland stalking with sticks and a bit on the hill without. I hate bipods with a passion, they are heavy, ugly, noisy, but when you want to get prone very useful. I recently found a very nice narrow back pack that doesn't constantly try to push the rifle off your shoulder and is just about big enough to take a spare fleece and other bits of garb you end up taking out.
The thought was, and your feedback would be appriciated, would there be any interest in a narrow backpack with a front rest built into the bottom of it, allowing you to ditch the bipod yet always have a good prone rest at hand?
Please tell me if you think I'm off with the fairys.

stitch a strip of canvas around the top of my shoulder strap on my rucksack, with a snap-clip (thingy) ,,oh 'buckle' (new it had a name
). What I do is unclip it, put the rifle strap on top of my rucksack strap, then clip it again around both - this keeps the rifle from falling off my shoulder, and actually allows it to freely switch about without my having to worry about my arm movements or the thing falling off! Because it's not velcro, it doesn't make noise either when unclipping either..try it!
