Bipod question

[dromia]

Anyone have experience of the Edgar Brothers bipod as opposed to the Harris bipods, swivel type.

Or any other suggestions for a good bipod.

Is the Edgar Brothers one the Harris clone?

[dromia]

By the looks of it.

[ovenpaa]

I have shot with the Harris clones and for the money they were fine however it is really down to the application you need one for.

[dromia]

Moderate range use for target shooting out to 800yrds, .243" calibre.

I would never go stalking with one.

[ovenpaa]

On a .243 it should be OK.

Wouldn't touch one with a bargepole, I had one on the boys .22 and the legs bent on the first outing.
If your looking for a cheaper Harris clone go for the global rifles version, half the price and you get a podlock on the swivel model

[ovenpaa]

I have been using one on and off on full bore rifles for a good few years without problems so maybe they have changed design or supplier.

Yup,
Steer clear. It went on a rifle, cal. 22-250 for a single evening and then went back. Shoddy effort.

Have a look at the vanguard equalizer if seeking a light model.

That was a useful tip! sign92

I was at Bisley yesterday, shooting using a Harris bipod and thinking it would be great if I could lock the tilt. I think I'm going to treat myself to a new bipod.
