Re: Bipod options besides Harris?
Atlas works well. I use harris and atlas, definitely prefer the atlas, but it does cost more.

Re: Bipod options besides Harris?
Without a doubt the Atlas is top notch for a bipod for "tactical" type shooting.
That being said, there are a lot of Harris' in use if you can't swing the cheddar for an Atlas.
If you need either, we stock both and take care of Hide members.

Re: Bipod options besides Harris?
I pickup an Atlas at Mile High in person a few weeks ago. Sweet bipod for sure. Won't go back. Just installed a rail segment on my new bolt gun stock and now share the Atlas between the 6.5 CM and .223 AR. Well worth the money compared to a Harris. Much more versatile!

Re: Bipod options besides Harris?
Ive got both and like both. In some ways i like the harris better. Atlas is nice though. Depends what you need it for. I surely think that a harris wont hold you back any and there is nothing wrong with them. Good luck

Atlas if you don't mind spending a little bit more. Locking legs and also different leg positions is a big plus.

Re: Bipod options besides Harris?
I had an Atlas but sold it because I prefer my GG&G myself . You may look at them . If you don't have a mono pod on the rear I've found with the atlas I had I could put a bag on the rear and no matter how I adj the atlas could never get it right . The notches in the legs need to be closer IMO or you need a mono pod with a PRS stock.
With a GG&G or Harris you don't since the legs aren't notched.
Also I didn't like the upright setting and the next setting on the atlas lays it down farther than I like . I think it's more at home on a rifle than a AR10 .

Re: Bipod options besides Harris?
I got an Atlas a couple of weeks ago.
I like the rail and clamp system better than the sling stud on the Harris and I like the extra height adjustments and the panning on the Atlas.
I miss the speed of the spring loaded legs on the Harris, but I don't have to hurry in the matches I shoot so that's not really an issue to me.
The Harris has worked fine for me, but I'll get another Atlas when I can scrape up the coins.

What about the Bobro type-3 BLAC bipod? Anyone has first hand experience with this?

Re: Bipod options besides Harris?
for an inexpensive option, theres the UTG OP series of bipods, I have the OP-2, which is their 7.7-12.3" version, and it has been very solid and reliable.

Re: Bipod options besides Harris?
I ordered a tdi arms side mounted bipod from optics planet that should be here today. prob not atlas quality but could be a cool option for the ar rifles with rails on the side. I bought it because I wanted a bipod on my air rifles but due to the break barrel action I couldnt mount a bipod under under the forend of the stock. ill post up a mini review and pics once I get it mounted after work today or tomorrow.

Re: Bipod options besides Harris?
I know many people like the Atlas,I have one and don't care for it. I have Harris's, Sinclair's both tactical and F class, a Dolphin and Roedales. I prefer the Roedale's although they are quite pricey. Here's a link http://www.webshop.roedale.de/product_info.php?info=p427_RH50-F-T-R-Match-Bipod.html . Nothings perfect and I do wish the Roedale"s had more elevation. It's range is 7 1/4" to 9 1/4" inches, that works for most things.

Re: Bipod options besides Harris?
I'm also very happy with my Roedale Bipod. Even though it looks like a heavy pig it's actually very lite. The machining on this bipod is excellent.

Re: Bipod options besides Harris?
If you need a real heavy duty pod for a heavy rifle like a M25 or M14, this GG&G Extreme Duty swivel Heavy Duty pod has stood the test so far. You'll also need the mounting rail for quick attach/detach.
