what type of harris bipod?

[ash]

building an ar15 wanted to know which harris bipods are you guys running on your spr? Thanks!

[Lincoln7]

6-9", notched legs, swivel, alpha-bravo lock.

Is that the model S-BR or BRM-S

Anything taller than benchrest, unless youre a table shooter. If you shoot in any grass besides freshly manicured yard grass, youll appreciate the extra height. I wouldnt be able to shoot prairie dogs with a benchrest height harris bipod, too much foliage in the way.

I have been shooting with a couple of HBMRS models on my SPR and Recce for a couple of years now....never had a problem with the 6-9" models and that is what I would personally recommend. I extensively shoot these rifles out in the field in various types of terrain, and never shoot them on a bench.

I run both on ADM AD-BPs (http://www.americandefensemanufacturing.com/view/product/15/)....I really like the ability to QD a bipod and for myself I consider that feature a must have. Atlas bipods use this same mount.

Larue as a Harris 6-9 that that has a QD built in. Little slicker than the bipod + adaptor.

Trident,

What do you think of the Versa Pod? In particular the Battle Pack with interchangeable legs? I was looking at either the Versa Pod or the Harris you mentioned.

Thanks!

CRAP... the legs are nice, but the swivel blows.. it has zero tension and your gun will flop over and fall... goolge "pod claws" for harris...

The Versa Pod w. Battle Pack option along with the rail adapter is close to $200.

You can build a really great bipod with a Harris HBRMS....(phoenix tactical kit (http://www.phoenixtactical.com/))

1.) HBRMS bipod....$106
2.) ADM/Larue bipod adapter...$75
3.) S.A.R.G. swivel bipod knob...$25
4.) Mil Spec Pod Claws.....$106(if you even need them)

So for b/t $200-300, you can essentially build this

You can buy the Larue already built up HBRMS for $180.

OR

You can buy the Atlas V8 and have the finest bipod currently made by a large margin imho for $275. Minus the deployment speed, the Atlas V8 blows all the other options above away...again, imho. It's already built, and gtg right outta the package.

I guess what I'm getting at is that the Harris setups are wonderful options and will serve a precision piece very well, however once you start having to put on the swivel knob, the QD mount, and in some cases...the pod claws, you might as well buy the Cadillac(atlas) at that point.

Personally I only see two options for myself....

A budget friendly Harris option.....or, an Atlas V8.

Hope that gibberish helps out a little pal:)

Thanks for the replies guys.

I think I'm gonna roll with the Harris for now.
