| I'm looking at getting a bipod for my AR-15. I have it narrowed down to 3 different manufacturers although, one might be hard to get. The first is a Bobro. I have read these are the best but I can not find anyone that has them in stock. The next is Harris and the last is a TangoDown. Taking into consideration that I might not be able to find a Bobro, which is better, the Harris or the TangeDown? Thanks for the help. |

I cannot give an opinion on the TangoDown bipods, as I do not own one, however, I own 2 Harris bipods (A 6-9 and a 9-13, both notched leg w/ swivel). I really like the Harris bipods. The only thing I would suggest is to also get something like an Alpha-Bravo bipod lock. The little knob on the Harris bipods is just that: a LITTLE knob. Really hard to get a good grip on. Otherwise they're sturdy, stable, and well built. |
| Look into the Atlas V8 that is what I am getting next, and have heard nothing but good things about them. |

It has a large easy to use adjustment knob Here It is also lower profile than a Harris w/ a seperate mouint. |
I asked a question about this One but I did not get any replies. I could not pass on it for $42 shipped so I guess I will be letting the next guy who asks about them if they are any good or not.

I've got an old gen 1 Bobro-GG&G non swivel heavy duty bipod but the latest GG&G model have a lot of evolutionary improvements. Take a look at the GG&G Heavy Duty XDS Bipod, they're made from aluminum alloy and are specifically designed and manufactured to meet current military-SOCOM requirements, adjustable, 25 degrees Of swivel cant, legs extend from 8.0" to 10.5" and tool-less installation. GG&G stated that the US Army selected the GG&G rifle bipod, specifically the GG&G XDS Bipod NSN: 1005-01-563-0152, to outfit approximately 75,000 (and more additional contract) US Army precision shooters. http://www.gggaz.com/index.php?id=220&parents=144,149 |
