Re: ULTIMATE BIPOD!!!
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: RATOUTAHELL</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Wow, all this hate and discontent!! I guess I was a little vague in my original post. This bipod is a Barret bipod modeled after the M60. It actually sits over a 1/2 inch shorter than my Harris ultralite swivel, yet has a 5 inch wider stance than the Harris. The legs lock in solid. I can really not tell how they would ever collapse unlike the spring loaded Harris arms. In your defense, it doesn’t swivel like the Harris one but it still offers about 5 degrees adjustment either way. The elevation adjustment is very easy. If fact I am sure that my 6 year old nephew would not even struggle with it. Especially since it is operates almost identically with the Harris notched leg bipod I use to use. I have been through 2 Harris pods, a versa pod, and a Guntec pod. And this is only on a 308. If this bipod could handle a 50 BMG, I thick it will hold up on my 308. Essentially, I like it and that is all that matters. I posted this because I have seen a quest for quality bipods on here and the lack thereof. I thought this might give inspiration to the others looking for a real bipod in the midst of a plethora of junk. And it is not that much heavier. It weighs 6 oz more than my Harris swivel and on a 16 pound gun, I probably will not notice.
Keep an open mind, that is how advancement is made.
Picture is in comparison with a STANDARD harris. I gave the swivel to my brother-in-law so it was not avaiable for picture. The swivel sits about 1/2 inch higher.

What you refer to as a "standard" Harris bipod is not the standard for most members here. For those of us that choose the Harris brand of bipods, most of us use the BRM-S model which is considerably shorter and lighter, and has spring loaded legs.
And as I said in my original post, if you like it, all the power to you.
