    Harris 9-13 inch with notched legs and swivel adjustment (whatever its called). Not a fixed one, a c**t to shoot on slopes with.

    Also consider a pod-lock and pod spikes if you're doing a lot of paddock type shooting. Don't shoot off the roof/bonnet of your truck with spikes on though!
    Kiwi Greg and Gibo like this.
    I'm drawn to the mountains and the bush, it's where life is clear, where the world makes the most sense.

    What if your truck is hard out?

    It'll be hard out with scratches



    Also, when shooting over a bi-pod some rifles can be fussy and will change poi by holding it in different ways. You'll need to test various holding positions to check how your rifle reacts with a bipod on, some hate them. Most commonly, you should apply a little bit of forward pressure on the bipod, set it on the ground and lean into it to put a bit of "load" on the legs. There's heaps of vids on YouTube about shooting over a bipod.
