What bipod for hunting???

[Rick Richard]

Are there reviews on the gen2? I think they delayed production due to a problem. A friend has one on order.

I have not read any reviews yet on the Gen 2

Just saw something on Long Range Only that is worth reading about the upgrades to the new Gen 2.0

When hunting I usually shoot off a tripod, so I want a lightweight but functional bipod. My usual go to right now is the Audere bipod. Carbon fiber an a pretty lightweight packaged.

The MtnGear offerings are REALLY lightweight. I had one that I only tested, but would buy another for the right application.

Harris are fine as a basic option, and I have the real basic Magpul MOE one on a rimfire. I love Atlas and Accu-tac but not for hunting. The only bipod I have every straight up sent back was a MDT GRND Pod. Massively overweight for having carbon fiber legs, and the cerakote on the Brownell's special was practically rubbing off in my fingers.

Hmmm I have a mdt grndpod and love it. It's on my sig cross 6.5 as my gotta go real fast gun and it works great

I hunt PD and Coyotes only now and my firearms and setups cater to this type of hunting.

It's going to depend on the terrain and what you're hunting. For coyotes and prairie dogs I sit on a small folding chair and use the Swagger QD-42.

I've also used a bipod I made from an old tripod. Removed one leg and it was very steady and easy to move around.

If you're in grass that's over 12" inches, I doubt you would be lying prone so you need something to get you above the grass. I never lay prone any more.

My newest setup is an inverted tripod, 2 leg section tripod with an Armageddon Fat Bag on top. I can shoot standing, kneeling, or sitting in my chair with benchrest accuracy. Easy to carry at 7 lbs over my shoulder or use as a walking stick.

Lord had mercy on me I think I found my next chubby picture what's the pistol??

It's a Remington 70 action with a 20 Vartarg barrel.

That's totally amazing

Here's a few more positions using your buddy as a bipod, does actually work in a pinch!View attachment 542664View attachment 542665View attachment 542663View attachment 542666

It's really good to have a friend who's willing to stop "incoming" rounds for the shooter! Those are difficult to find…..and keep! memtb

I've tried almost everything. I've always tried to stay lighter weight, with prone height bipods. But last season my buddy let me borrow is Hatch Outwest 27" bipod. It goes from prone to seated height. I ended up killing ALL of my animals in the seated position because of the terrain. That bipod is staying on my gun for the foreseeable future for sure. Super versatile.

X2 on the Hatch, it's nice to be able to go from prone to sitting

That sucks . I bought my MDT GRND pod straight from the and use it on my Sig Cross in 6.5 and it stays on the gun . I like it but I changed out the lever lock for cant and put in a titanium bolt with a lock nut as I like my cant a little stiffer

I own 2 currently, Harris 9-13in adjustable with a quick release pick mount and spike feet, and a Spartan Javalin. Both are good for their intended purpose. I usually use a pack or shooting sticks if I can't prone out behind a bipod or need to get up above brush or sticks.

 

[manitou]

Spartan for me.

 

[Dooner]

It's Hatch for me.

 

[Will.284]

Holy crap those Hatch out west bipods are cool a bit heavy but I always have a pack on anyway, I might have to look closer at them

I realize this is an old thread but came across it searching for tall bipod options. Has anyone used both the MDT CKYE triple pull and the Hatch 36"? Is there anything about the CKYE triple pull that makes it worth more than double the Hatch? Are there any other tall options beside those 2? Shot my first NRL hunter match this weekend and was at a huge disadvantage with my current bipod. I have a tripod but hard to get stable enough on it for the long shots.
