As compared to the steel bipods like GG&G and Harris?

I get that. I'm a function over form guy though. I don't care what it looks like if it does the job I want.

It's easily heavier than my harris (SR-5 vs. 6-9" notch leg harris with cant). I haven't used a GG&G so I can't comment on that. I can get an actual weight later on if that's not published data but, yes, it's not the lightest thing out there. You can however beat the living tar out of them and they don't break so there's that.

i have had all of the above. Only use Javelins and the tripod (Kapita and sentinel) now. Accutac is very cool but HEAVY. Atlas is lighter and more functional. Harris is much lighter and very good. Atlas is heavier but better than Harris IMO.
The Javelin steals the show.
As for customer service i cant speak. ordered all my stuff from their UK website. Some stuff shipped from US, some from UK. Havent had to call for support.

I picked them both up this morning and completely spaced bringing them to the office to get a good weigh on them. The mark-1 hand scale says the harris is about 1/2 - 1/3 the weight.

I found a Spartan 300. I'll do a report on it when I get a chance to try it out.

I ordered a Spartan 300 a couple of weeks ago and it is nice. Amazingly light and feels solid. I have not shot with it yet. Maybe next week...
I believe this is going to be a good answer for hunting.

I like the idea of the 300. It fixes the problem I had with the Javelin. I may haave to try one now.

Bought a Javelin last year and now have 2 hunting seasons done with it. Had no problem ordering or getting questions answered and the product is outstanding.
