Larue/Harris swivel. I like it. It's pretty heavy though. I was looking for the tango down ones but could never find them in stock. I'd buy again.

There may be a better choice, but since I have been through two sniper schools now along with all the training I do with my precision rifle, I'll stick with what I know. OOPS! Harris bipod.
Be sure to loctite the screw that hold the legs of the bipods on to the frame. If you use them frequently and run around with them, I have seen them come out before.
Harris / Larue combo here.....

You won't do better than a Bobro or to save a little bit of money & actually be able to get your hands on one without a long wait, a GG&G which is a early Bobro design.
Some examples of mine!

The Harris Bipod Mount Combo (LaRue or ADM) sure seems to be kicking ass in the poll.
:cool:
I have a Harris sitting in a LaRue that I thought was the cats .... until I got to handle a buddies BOBRO... IMHO opinion the BOBRO was much nicer and more stable when shooting in various positions.
The BOBRO seemed much more sturdy and the legs had less lateral movement. I will bring the Harris/LT at the end of the month and you can see what you think. I have it mounted on my M6A3 but you can pop it off and use it on the weapon of your choice and make your own judgment...
I only have experience with the Harris/Larue Bipod and I've been very pleased with it thus far so that's where my vote goes.
Go with Harris all the way, if it's good enough for the Military, its good enough for me, and had never let me down. I bought a Versa Pod, and broke it on my first g hog hunt, sent it back, and it broke again while shooting at a deer. I also like Harris due to the fact that you can lean into the gun to help stabilize the shot. And for the $ midway has them for you cant go wrong. I have one on my custom 6mmBR and it's 10 years old, and never failed.
