I have been considering one of these, and would like to get some feedback from others experience. This is to go onto a SPR type of rifle (20" though), and will mostly be used for varmint shooting. I understand that the Versa Pod is a much less expensive (aluminum) version of the well respected Parker Hale system. I have a lot of experience with the Harris system, and my bolt action rifles have worn them for years, but I was looking at other options this time. While I have searched for threads on the Versa Pod, I have been unable to find much, any feedback would be appreciated. |
| I have used them since being introduced to one at a precision rifle class a few years ago. I tend to "set" a bipod when shooting, and was having an issue smoothly tracking targets with my Harris. The instructor produced a Versa Pod and said to try it. I was pretty skeptical at first since it had so much vertical and horizontal "play" in it, but it worked great. The one downside is the mounting system is a bit "clunky", but it is solid. I use them exclusively on my precision rifles now. The best for the money when shooting movers. Sportsman's Guide had them CHEAP awhile back, I think $26.99 to club members. |
I use the prone length and the taller version. I hunt with my guns and like being able to shoot off the tall bipod while seated. I think most people don't use the versa-pod because they aren't aware of the variety of mounts you can get. The first picture below is the regular mount. The second picture shows the pic-rail mount that I use on guns with rails. I have 8 guns equipped with versa-pods. I find them to be the most flexible / useful bipods around (yes, I have some Harris bipods too). I have better pictures, but I am not near the computer they are stored on.
