In the market for a folding bipod for my SW M&P 15. Nothing special, not going to the Stan or anything, maybe for Halloween Zombies, you never know!

Check the Larue/Harris offerings. Also i have a GG&G Extreme Duty bipod and it's awesome.

Atlas bipods are currently the hot shit over yonder, as I've heard it.

The next best would be Harris.

Are you looking for a dedicated bipod or a bipod/VFG like the Grip Pod?

Harris appears to be about the toughest for its price range class....I tried ordering one a yr ago and no one had them in stock at the time, for for temporary purposes a cheap UTG hangs of the bottom.
I still haven't swapped it out because it still works.

The Winchester brand bi-pods at Wally World are not bad for CASUAL plinking. etc.....
I use them on my 22's and my 30-06.

Not battle worthy by any means but if you want something to use you can get by with them.

About 35.00 dollars or so.

Make sure to get one with cant adjustment.  They suck without it.

I had a rock river (now winchester) from wal mart for $39 and have been switching it from gun to gun (romanian psl, savage 223, others).   Now on my ar15 sw optic ready I just bought.  

Mounted it on this that I bought on ebay  onto my magpul  handguard

=====

works good for me.   I used blue loctite on the screw on the winchester bipod and it does not come loose at all (but then again i use blue loctite on all screws so nothing comes loose).

Have not used the harris so I can not comment on the differences.  If you are fun gunning (like I am) the winchester might work for you.

I'd go with the Harris 9-13", with swivel and notched legs.

It makes height adjustments much more easier than smooth legs. More like stops...

I've got the Harris/Larue QD 6-9" with notched legs & cant. The Larue QD mount is a must, even if you don't move it between rifles ( I use mine on several rifles & a .223 pistol) it's nice to quickly take it off when not needed. Shooting from a bench I think the longer (over 9") legs will bring you up too high, I usually only drop down to the first or second notch. Which is why the notches are great, you can deploy to the same height every time, less fiddling. The swivel cant was kind of a PITA with a top heavy upper, it seemed to fall over all the time. But it can be locked down so that's how I leave it. I've also got a set of TangoDown/VTLOR bipod legs (the ones that attach to the side of your quad rail) I picked up used on my big scope upper. That setup has a wider stance than the Harris and attaches at the front of my quad rail so it's more stable side to side, and it keeps my bottom rail open. TangoDown also makes a bipod that attaches underneath that also has side to side swivel, which I would probably use more than the cant movement of the Harris.

Nope, I have two of the 9-13, and they work fine from the bench or from prone, but you have more height available for shooting over long grass and such. There is a good reason why that size is their top seller....
