[QUOTE="johnlittletree, post: 1500669, member: 105653"] Well I would imagine your not hunting in very harsh places if you can afford to carry around an awkward rifle with a bipod attached to it and find a good place to put it down. So either the environment is not very harsh not exactly mountain terrain but in rather developed area's with road and man massaged environment. In point of fact if someone is going to extremes to shave weight and suddenly after doing all kinds of stupid things to shave weight they go and slap a bipod on that person has lost all credibility. It is like someone talking about losing fat weight and exercising but you turn around and they are eating Krispy Kreme donuts or a box of Twinkies effectively throwing their credibility right out the window! So are we building a mountain rifle, varmint rifle, F-Class rifle or a tactical rifle? No way to build one rifle that does it all! Between 2lbs.-13 onces is the norm for store bought quality made bipods. On top of that you have the cost. The cost can match or exceed the price of a hunting rifle or custom barrel or a really nice stock! So you have cost and weight working against you!
