[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 1464236, member: 54178"] Shootin4Fun, A bipod causes no more "bounce" than a cast adjustable iron front bench rest. What causes "bounce" is poorly designed rifle stocks and lack of a [I]good[/I] muzzle brake. Poorly designed stocks put the heel of the stock (recoil pad top) lower and out of line with the barrel. Early Weatherby stocks are a prime example of this. The Ruger Precision Rifle, ARs and a few other rifles keep the stock in line with the barrel which cuts way down on muzzle rise. Notably stocks with a Monte Carlo cheekpiece have low recoil pads out of line with the recoil of the rifle. That's OK if you are ONLY doing offhand shooting from a mild recoiling rifle like a Win. .243 but otherwise not recommended. Eric B. [/QUOTE]
