I've screwed up and somehow unscrewed the screw that holds my Harris bipod onto my rifle - you know the long one with the big head that pushes upwards and tensions the little clips that go through the sling stud.
Does anyone know what size the thread is or if replacement screws are available? I can't believe I'm the only person ever to lose this. I suspect that somehow it unscrewed while the rifle was on my back and I was walking along though quite how this came about I'm not sure but I guess it was rubbing on my back and working lose.
Today was a nightmare as i was out and about and in the afternoon the wind was doing that trick of always being at my back no matter what direction I tried to stalk in. Then I managed to break my laser rangefinder (fingers crossed it is just a battery but I have a bad feeling it isn't so simple as that) and then I spotted a deer and crawled into position only to try and put the rifle on the bipod and have the bipod fall apart. I then got my short sticks ready but the deer remained, at all times, a hind and so out of season and there was no sign of a stag calf that I was hoping for! What a day it is great to get out and about though.
