I drove an hour and a half to the only place in the area that had the Atlas in stock. If I was going to spend nearly $300 on a bipod, I wanted to see what was so darn special about it. The store let me try it on a bolt action they had with a rail. I inspected it for about a minute and bought it. The excellent build quality and design were immediately apparent. There's absolutely nothing wrong with a Harris though. You might like it better.
If I was going to go with a Harris, I'd probably opt for the Odin Works mount. The IWC mount is so disappointing, it actually pissed me off. I have several of their other products, which are great, but their "KeyMod" bipod mount is BS. I don't know about the Noveske.
For the Atlas, I use a plastic BCM KeyMod strip. If you do opt for the Atlas, get the American Defense Manufacturing QD mount option. It's a really nice mount that works on every kind of rail I've tried it with. I'm switching all my optics to ADM mounts. Their lever setup is just nice.
