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.

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!
Voted for what I have...
But I wouldn't pay list for it, either. I like it for all the aforementioned reasons. Very solid, no wiggle in anything. Feet are metal with tread, so probably better on dirt / vegetation than concrete / hard surfaces.
Don't like it because it has no quick release features; you need the allen wrench to remove it.
Weighs right about a pound. Folds up back along the handguard so it isn't sticking out under the barrel to snag or affect balance point as much.

I voted for what I have. Rock Creek SOPMOD w/ raptor claw feet. The only other one I have any experience with is the Harris but never mounted on an AR. I just plain like the SOPMOD better. The Claw feet will shred a shooting bench though. But they work good on the ground. I can plant the feet and pull back on the rifle "loading" it for extra stability. It really is rock solid and it was $Free.99.
"Loading" the bipod means pushing forward into the bipod causing it to tighten up.

All of my "target" AR's have round free floating handguards so I have never used a bipod with a special mount.
The only one I have experience with is Harris. I have three of them and they have all given me good service. One of them is 15 years old and still works like new. The only downside with Harris is the bluing on the knobs, etc. You have to keep them coated with a good oil because they are not resistant to rust.
