I am looking into the purchase of a bipod, primarily for target applications. It would be highly desireable for said accessory to be compatible for both prone and bench applications.
Harris seems like a pretty good choice with both the "M" and "S" options sounding desirable from a spec sheet perspective. That would tend to lead towards the HBBRM-S or HBLM-S models, with the key differenece being adjustment range [6-9" vs. 9-13" respectively].
Rough measurements for the prone position indicate ~9" [from the sling stud to the ground] to be just about right; of course, this is exactly at the crossover point between the two models....figures! On a tall bench, this could be on the tall side.
I am inclined to go with the taller model, and potentially sacrifice bench performance for prone flexibility, what does y'all's experience show? I know that the standard arfcom answer will be to get both, but I would prefer not to have to do so.
Thanks.
