Which shooting rest/bipod??

Recommended Posts

Im starting to do more range shooting at longer ranges and want to get better at extended ranges. Do yall use bags or bipods? And which ones? Harris or atlas seems to be popular for bipods, have no idea as far as shooting bags go

I use front bipod, rear bag for prone LR shooting.  Bipod and build a good rear rest with what you have for hunting.  Stump, rocks, jacket, pack, Gatorade bottle, log, shooting sticks, whatever is steady.

I have 5 Harris bipods.  From prone to sitting.

What Lance said. Nothing wrong with a harris! Atlas are way nice though. I run both. I prefer the atlas for hunting and the harris for shooting steel.

Lance,

It seems like the one picture is when you daughter killed that Toad 12A buck?...nice

I really like my Spartan. I kinda like my Rugged Ridge. Personally I'm so-so on harris. I also like atlas.

She just smoked her pronghorn from a sitting position.  Harris front, pack cradled for the rear.  380 yds.

I have a Hatch Bipod and carry a small bean bag in pack for toe of buttstock. I practiced a lot with that set up prior to my sheep hunt, ended up making kill shot at 179 with rifle resting on foam seat pad over a rock rest, go figure.

In my humble opinion, the tripod is the single most valuable tool after a rangefinder. With my rifle and tripod, we've taken animals out to 730 yards. I can get as steady as prone with my tripod, and it reduces the number of positions I have to practice with.

Here's video of the first animal I shot off the tripod. I was in Colorado at the sniper training detachment just weeks before and was shown the position I use.
