Pan or not on bipod?

[lintond]

Curious on opinions of pan vs no pan on your bipods? Primary use will be hunting, with LR practice being secondary.

Looking to upgrade my Harris to an Atlas or Evolution most likely.

I had pan on one of my old atlas’ and I never used it. I now have a cal and I find myself using the can’t more often than I probably should.

It's a tough call for a primary hunting setup, I am not a fan of pan but if you are scanning it can be a big help. Getting a bipod that can pan or lock out the pan would probably be the best option.

With the rubber feet I find the CAL skitters along pretty good to accommodate changing angles.

The 2 best bipeds on the market are the thunderbeast my favorite. It’s lite and super stable with a ton of adjustments and the atlas cal. For shooting prone. They rule the roost on your belly. For a dedicated hunting rifle I would also take a good long look at the ckye pod. Some of the models allow you to shoot all the way from low prone to sitting or kneeling. That could be very useful for hunting

That CKYE does look intriguing. I'll take a look at that one as well.

I have The Ckye. It’s heavy. I don’t like the pan. other than that I really like it.

Went from Atlas to Thunderbeast then back to the Atlas.

I like the pan ability, especially matches shooting off random props. The TBAC was more stable from prone. But not enough to give up the versatility of the pan feature.
