F T/R Competition Bi-Pod or Benchrest rest for 600yd shoot?

[JGorski]

Im having a rifle built with a Manners T4 stock and will be using it in 600 yd BR comps at our local range. Question is, who would use a Bi-Pod with a rabbit ear bag or a BR rest like a Bald eagle "Slingshot", which I have? Would also like to get into F-Class shooting at the Lodi range next year, now there Id like to use the Bi-pod only with rear bag.

I'd like to get into shooting at Lodi next year. I have a nice bipod that I machined a few years ago that works real slick for f- class. It's kind of a cross between the old and new Sinclair bipod and some of my ideas... Your more than welcome to give it a try if you want. I just put an atlas on my rifle to try out. Let me know if you want to shoot sometime.

Thanks for the offer. I do have 2 Harris Bi-Pods so Im pretty much set there, trying not to spend any more bucks than I have to on the new rifle. Im in the Wausau area, and you?

What caliber are we talking about here? If it's not .223 or .308, a bipod is kind of a drag in F-open.

Yeah, if you will be shooting F-Open, you might simply go with the rest, vs. the bipod. There are a few notable exceptions, but by and large, F-Open types are running rests.
