So I'm in the market for a bipod. I currently own a 16" Doublestar with the stock plastic circular handguard. My gas block has a rail on the top only and of course has the sling swivel stud on the bottom. Now that you know what I have, let me tell you what I need. I'm not asking what brand because I have already decided to pay a little extra and get the Harris, but this bipod will primarily be used for coyote hunting so I'm needing one that will allow me to pivot right to left. Now I see the Harris bipods that have the "S" in their model names for swivel, but it's my understanding that they account for cant from right to left for uneven surfaces. Do all of their bipods allow you to swing the barrel of the rifle from side to side, for example following a coyote that is moving across a field? If not, can someone elaborate on which models do? I just don't want to be limited to having to actually move the feet of the bipod to account for side to side movement of the target.
Also, I assume all I will need to mount the bipod is their HB5 AR-15 stud adapter, correct? Sorry for the newb questions. I'm just making sure I have my ducks in a row before I start ordering. |

For coyote hunting yu can't beat a Stoney Point Rapid Pivot bi-pod. The come in several different adjustable/telescoping lengths, that adjust quickly/easily They attach with a quick snap-on, snap-off adaptor that attaches to a standard sling swivel stud. You can pan 360*, cant l/r to almost 90*, and up/down. They come in prone, sitting, standing adjustable lengths. Forget about Harris type bi-pods for yote/varmint hunting. Been there, done that. These work MUCH better for that kind of hunting. You can also get extra adaptors to attach to other rifles so you can use the bi-pod on those if you want. Well under $100.00!
I used camp tape on the legs. This one is the 'sitting' model (25"-43") but can be used while kneeling, or standing (if I bend over a little bit).
