    Harris or atlas depending on what you are doing and how much you want to spend

    I know Harris are good bipods but have you tried the Javelin bipod stub? The latter seems to offer a big weight advantage over the Harris and it's clones and appears to be very well made, as it should be for the price.

    Na haven't had or used a javelin but I've had no real need for an ultra light weight bipod the atlas is light enough for some people the light weight chase will never end

    Your mobile number doesn't work
    The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change; until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds

    Dont waste your time chasing every last fps, it doesnt matter in the real world, it wont make a difference, all it will do is cause head aches and frustrations. And dont listen to silly old cunts

    Javelin bipod is around the 400 mark and is pretty good for what it is, here's my take on it, I have the demo from Allan Brown who is the agent here for the UK based designer, now I priced getting one direct from the UK and it was over 500 so not a bad price here.

    One of the legs is fixed and one moves, they are held together by magnets or apart and it also uses a magnet to hold it on the mount, it swivels left/right and has a knob to tighten the sideways action.

    The legs are a twist and pull out setup and work well, you can pull them out completely if not carful but no drama if you do, there is a red line with stop marked on each leg.

    It sits in your pack or belt bag until you need it so it won't get it the way and the mount has an integrated attachment for your sling, all in all its a pretty compact low profile mount system.
    On the rifle it feels solid but on my 308 it twists a little under recoil, no big deal I guess, would I buy one.... Maybe, I'm still tossing up the idea, a day pack works just as well but we do like our toys, I'd say it is one of the best light weight iPods on the market and cheaper than some others I can mention.....
    The kit comes with 2 mounting screws depending what you need and there are two different styles of mount depending on your rifle, also supplied is an Allen key.

    If you are interested in getting your hands on demo pm me and I'll pass the details on to you.

    OK. How about a quick review from someone who did end up getting one of the Neopods ?

    Pros=They are light as fuck,
    Cons=difficult to load up
    =No swivel lock
    Awesome on lightweight tops gun you don't even notice it, hopeless under a heavy gun for shooting long range with.
