| I want a good bipod for a DMR/SPR type rifle. The rifle is a 20" with free float rail. What type of bipods do the kool kids use? Is it all Harris all the time, or are there other good choices? I want to mount it directly to the rail. |

I put a Grip Pod on my rifle. It's a little long but it works really well. Easy to remove when not needed too. All over Ebay for $50, cheaper and lighter than the Harris products and dual function to boot. Gotta be careful on Ebay, lots of cheap imitations there as well.

What about the Tangodown Tactical Bipod? /slight Hijack Good thread, I am wondering the same. I see the Harris name on here all the time. I saw the Tango Down on a rifle in Tactical Weapons magazine and it looked really cool with less moving parts. How are they? |

I have a GG&G tactical bipod. It is really lightweight and strong. The military is using them right now. $180.00 but damn near bullet proof. Check them out before you buy. Same here. Solid like a rock, no sproingy springs to get caught in shit and super high quality. |

My first choice would be a grip pod for most applications these will do a good enough job. I like that they double as a VFG and get outta the way.
A non swivel harris is good choice for more static position shooting and bench or prone. The are heavier and a lot more comploicated to deploy. |

Another alternate would be the Demon Tactical ultra light bipod... The current model doesn't have adjustable legs but they can be trimmed to length if needed. Plus they are 1/3 the weight of a harris and are out of the way when your not using them.
Kinda apples and oranges as they are both designed towards different things but its something to check out! www.demontactical.com |
It has worked better then I expected though. I'v also used the left "leg" as a grip before. Not very tactical, but I really don't have the money to drop on a more expensive bipod.
