Quite pleasing to hear you guys that have used both a fair bit say this. I have always used a Harris and find it really good, solid and reliable. I too carry it in the pack until needed.

1A2 with spikes is a good compromise

The javelin is a really good light bipod. But it needs the pod lock to tighten the tilt up or it won’t sit there it might tilt over and your rifle will fall over. They work really consistently you can load them but I’ve found they seem to absorb vibration quite well with the carbon fiber and I haven’t noticed as much muzzle jump with a can and it seems smoother. You can also get the optics adapter and fit it to your spotting scope to give you a quick panable bipod to use. I use mine a lot more for this than actually shooting off it. Used it for nearly a year now with no issues.
Call Joel to order one and the other bits. Well worth the money for a hunting bipod. For heavier longrange rifles I use a Harris.

Lightest extra weight, most consistent, most cost effective bipod ever?? Use your pack..

I've been having a go at this 'strange' concept with surprisingly good results.

Shot this dude at 507y off my pack last month.

Off the knees or standing has been my go to this year.

Laugh away, but I have found these excellent, even compared to Harris.

Light and sturdy. Tilt and swivel.

I've had my first one for many years and its taken a thrashing.

Sorry to go off topic, but what brand is the cheek riser thingy on the stock?

It didn't need an insert.

I like the look of both of those 'cheap' bits Bruce, are the legs twist lock? and what does that bipod actually weigh? (couldnt find that on the website)

The legs are twist lock. Weight is 285 grams (10oz).

When using the bipod I load it up by pushing forward so that my technique is consistent, but the legs and components have very little give or looseness. Build tolerances are very good. The swivel is limited but adequate - maybe 30 degrees each side from centre.

Had a play with 260AI today shooting gong at 600y. 5-5 with the Javelin and my fist lifting rear of stock.
