A Harris bipod is a “must-have” accessory for any serious varminter in the field. With light-recoiling calibers, the short, BR-Model Harris bipod works very well on benches and is more handy than carrying around a big, heavy pedestal front rest. Currently, MidwayUSA has Harris bipods on sale. We recommend two models. For bench-shooting, the “S-BR” model with swivel, adjusting from 6″-9″ overall, is ideal. Height can be fine-tuned at any length within the adjustment range. This is Midway item 652827, sale-priced at $79.99 ($15.00 off regular price).
For field use, we recommend the larger Harris model “S-LM”, Midway item 328534. Also on sale for $79.99 ($15.00 off), the Harris S-LM adjusts from 9″-13″ using leg notches. When shooting in the field it is faster and easier to adjust leg height with the built-in notches. The greater height (compared to the BR model) helps you shoot over the grass or compensate for small mounds between your muzzle and the target.
With any Harris swivel bipod you’ll want a Pod-Loc quick clamping handle from KMW. This lets you easily change the swivel angle and then lock the bipod in place, or set just enough tension that you can adjust rifle cant without having the rifle flop from side to side. Shown below is a Harris S-BR fitted with a Poc-Loc. The Pod-Loc is available from Sinclair’s, Brownells (item #100-000-326), or you can buy direct from KMW – Long Range Solutions, (318) 748-8732.
