i went through 3 fake harris type bipods that all fell apart from stripped screws or s&^t parts. Finally, i decided that i want a proven bipod, which is notorious for being the best. Harris is that. its a solid feel, there are no jiggling parts. perfect for my rem 700 .308

I put my new bipod on my 91 30 Mosin Nagant, was hitting steel plates at 300yrds all morning and my forend hand never felt a thing! Ready for the Crows Nest!!

After getting two cheap bipods from Amazon and having them literally fall apart in my hands I decided to hazard a name brand.
Overall the build quality and finish are excellent. It performs all it claims and installs in seconds.
I had to take a star away due to the arm adjustment system. I prefer the type my cheapies had wherein depressing the clamp deployed the spring-loaded arms, releasing it locked the arms. With this bipod you have to turn a screw-head, manually adjust the arms, then re-tighten it.
Overall it's very nice, but like it's recommended usage advises, it should only be used on a bench rest or at the range, not for hunting or MIL/LE/GOV.

Durable, lightweight, very adjustable, and easy to detach and reattach. The legs are able to rest in the extended 9" position, the collapsed 3" position, and any combination of distances between. This model is ideal for shooting from a bench or a rail.

I have found this product for $45 at a local retailer.

I purchased this item from Amazon.

After taking it to the range, I am very pleased. It does just about everything I wanted, and appears to be well constructed. The legs provide a nice height if you shoot from a bench and support the buttstock with your other hand.

A couple things I noticed:
The locking notch is at the most extended position, and consequently you must tighten the nuts on the front manually to get it to stay put at an intermediate length. Also, the legs are spring loaded in such a way that they snap back into the collapsed position when you trip a lever on the side. I would prefer the opposite- that they deploy with the touch of a button and must be manually collapsed.

Overall, I would rather have this on my rifle than tote around a big bench rest.

I've been using only Harris Bipods for my rifles for about 20 years now. They are very well made and reliable as well. I'll keep buying them.

This is an excellent item. It is adjustable, sturdy and simple to use. Great price compared to some of the other retail stores online. Highly recommended.

This is an excellent small bipod that will fit securely on most rifles equipped with a sling swivel stud. It fits securely (adjustable tension), attaches easily and removes just as easily; I bought it with the idea of leaving it attached to one rifle but I have moved it back and forth between three. I recommend checking the height you want and ensure you get the right size, though. This is perfect for most rifles and most bench rest firing points.

Had to get an adapter to put on my AR but is a good product to have.
