I just shoot off a bag now.
It will go lower than any bipod will, can be adjusted almost infinetly and it is always carried with you.
No loss in accuracy shooting out to 400m+
Carbon Bipod - Notched) looks pretty perfect for what I want out of a bipod, but no chance I'm paying £500 for a bipod. 
Check out Spartan 300. Think that was designed to remain on the rifle.That TBAC one looks quite interesting, shame its a bit of a lump and relatively short legs.
I go round and round on bipods, but keep going back to Harris 9-13. I like the ease of both opening and extending the legs. I don't like the fact it digs into my back though.
I've also got a Tier One, and I like that I can mount it on a picatinny and can have my sling attached to the pic rather than the bipod so it doesn't dig in. However, there is too much play in the legs (and the adjustment is extremely sensitive), and the leg extension/contraction isn't that smooth on one of the legs.
For me, the ideal would be something with harris style legs, with a low profile / out in front picatinny style mount that sits in front of the sling swivel.
To be honest on my hill rifle I'd happily permanently fix the bipod.

I get the Javelin idea, perfect if you only occasionally shoot of a bipod, but alot of my stalking is on the hill, and almost all of my shots are prone and off a bipod. If Spartan can come up with a Harris/Atlas (i.e. fixed to the rifle, fold out legs) then I think they'd sell well. The Valhalla is on the right lines, but a bit OTT. From @nun_hunter 's post above, it sounds like something may be in the offing.
Same here, ditched both the mod and bipod for my stalking rifle (270). Quite liberating. Shooting off my rucksack is very versatile and quick to deploy.I just shoot off a bag now.

The latest Javelin bipods all have either fixed length level or notched legs and a wider stance too. Being a small company still they are able to take on feedback and improve designs quite quickly.I have really been around the houses with bipods and I’m more or less where I started, Harris.
Went to a javelin which I learned to absolutely despise. I bought it because I can’t stand bipods and shoot pretty well off quads, however doing a bit more hill stalking these days there is no doubting the need. The javelin constantly dropping the rifle on its side, and slowly lowering mid shot got old fast so I got rid. Sadly I’d had a permanent adapter glued into my £700 McMillan at that point
Undeterred I had it removed and a picatinny rail fitted instead. I then decided to go cheapish and got a UTG bipod with QD picatinny, which I also didn’t like-forever adjusting the damn thing. Once again, sold it (thank god for the classifieds).
So I now have x3 Harris (which I’ve had to re-buy since I sold my original ones) with picatinny adaptors which suits ideally…thank god! A long atlas would be the best all round but I think I have spent enough on this particular journey.
As mentioned the Spartan 300 does stay attached locked in place but can also easily be removed.That TBAC one looks quite interesting, shame its a bit of a lump and relatively short legs.

Better to have no mod and wear decent ear protection, than to have a mod and think you therefore don't need ear protection.PARDON???!!!
