Bipod buying advice

[DirkDiggler]

Hopefully will be getting a Tikka 3tx Tac A1 in .308 and CZ 457 mdt in .22 and I’m looking at a bipod to use on both obviously sturdy enough to handle the .308 recoil and be 6-9 inches in height used for target shooting only
What do people have or recommend as I’m new to shooting
Cheers

Harris S-BRM, the end
iv recently sold my Harris for a spartan tactical, didnt like it at all, sold that and got a tier one tactical, didnt like that either, sold that and bought a Harris.

What kind of shooting?

 

[DirkDiggler]

Just target shooting not competition

 

[rocketdogbert]

I use a Spartan Valhalla on everything, CZ457 .22lr, Tikka TAC A1 .223, Enfield P14 7.62, SAKO TRG .308

Why is the Harris better than the others you have had

I’ve had/have a bunch of them

Best for me is the Accu tac

WB-4 Bipod

The WB-4 Wide Body bipod is designed to deliver optimal height and enhanced stability. This model is well-suited for long-range, extreme long-range, bench-rest shooting, and airsoft platforms. Its wide, lowered center positions the rifle between the legs, promoting improved accuracy and...

Seems to be a huge price variation
Does the high price for some mean a much better product than some of the cheaper models

 

[bowji john]

Not always

I’ve paid a lot for a sport specific bipod

I’ve paid very little for others which are quite adequate

The Accu tac is bloody expensive but it gives me the stability to witness the impacts of shots at range

I value that hugely- otherwise you are just chucking lumps of lead down range

For target shooting I’d go for an Atlas over the Harris. It allows forward loading to absorb the recoil pulse, especially good if you’re shooting off a hard surface.

Accu tac FC-4 G2.....I used this on my tikka tac and my mtd 457 and can't fault it.

How do you plan to attach the bipod? Sling stud, Arca rail, Picatinny rail or some custom bipod mount?

I believe both rifles have picatinny mounts the Tikka is a second hand model

Tikka is m-lok, so is my MDT

 

[DirkDiggler]

Yes the Tikka has a picatinny add on to the m lock on he one I’m buying
But I’m not opposed to removing the picatinny if they can then share the same bipod

You can have either an m-lok adapter or picatinny adapter for the Spartan Valhalla

Cheers everyone for the recommendations .. now decisions decisions lol

Harris S-BRM, swivel (tilting) notched. Easy to adjust leg length with one hand from closed.

Upgrade with a pod lock lever, makes it easier to lock the cant when set.

Like a sore wiener, you just can’t beat it.

Why is the Harris better than the others you have had

for me, it just sat where it should and didnt move, iv used one for years so maybe its just what im used to, i also have a hawke copy and that fine too,
some of the others are ridiculously priced, but whilst people pay it then they will continue to charge what they want, no bipod should be £4-500.
id be surprised if any normal shooter could get better results with a £500 over a Harris,
my opinion anyway,
