Thread: harris bipolds

I was lucky enough to get one off here for my son a little while ago and works well for him and i also have a older friction lock model as well,
but considering buying another swivel model at the moment.
All the comments i read say go notched leg but i have never had a issue with my friction lock.
All my shooting at the moment will be of a bi pod for a little while.
I have had a look at the notched leg and seem to be a bit rattly in the legs compared with the out friction lock.

Whats so great about notched leg?

Notched legs lock up solid in position. I haven't used a friction lock model, so can't compare.

I've got both and I tend to use the friction lock model very little compared to the models with notched legs. The notches makes life so much easier.

On long range shoots where I've got a lot of time available the friction model works great, but when time is little I always opt for the models with the notched legs.

I pull them to bits, take both springs out and then turn the legs around so that the knobs face inwards. Makes it a way quicker process and lightens them up heaps.
