Alrighty,
So once upon a time when I had a really nice GAP bolt gun, I had a Harris bipod on it and life was good. This was long before Atlas etc. Anyway, I finally have another bolt gun (howa mini in .223), and I'm looking for another bipod. I still currently have the Harris on my 18" AR. Now I don't want to spend crazy money as this is for a fun, somewhat lightweight .223. A few years ago when others (non Parker Hale, Harris, and Atlas) started making bipods they were all pretty much relegated to "pot metal crap". Has any of that changed? For the $100 and less category are Harris and Magpul pretty much the only go-to's? |

MagPul is decent, especially sub-$90-ish on sale.

For the $100 area just stick with the Harris. They work. I still use them on my match rifles.

Harris still makes a solid bipod. Nothing wrong with them.

I prefer Harris for my hunting rifles.

They now have some models that are Made In USA, which are more expensive. https://leapers.com/index.php?act=listproduct&midx=2357&status=utg For me UTG has a reputation of making solid accessories, heavier, with less features than pricier competitors. |

THis one is on the heavy duty size, sounds like its built like a tank - that might be a good thing for a bipod for stability.

Depending on your budget, Harris is fine.
I also have ThunderBeast, Ckye, Atlas and SEB. Just pick the right tool for the right job. |
