Bipods (Not a Benelli question)

[dandy]

Since everyone on this forum seems very well orientated whit guns and gunparts, I will ask this question here.

I have a Sako Finnlight rifle http://www.sako.fi/img/sako75/s75_finnlight.gif

You can find the homepage here http://www.sako.fi/

Its a dam fine rifle and now Im thinking of adding a bipod. I would like it to have a quick mount so i can quickly remove it and mount it again. depending on what I am hunting.

What brand should it be, what kind of mount should it be, as you can see its a syntethic stock.

Would be very greatfull for an answer

I like the lightweight and portability of detached bipods like Stoney Point.
But if you want a good attached bipod, then take a look at Versa-pod (http://www.versapod.com/m_h/sporting/sporting_products.html).

Anyone who has experience of Harris bipods? Its rather important that I can change betwin not carrying bipods and carrying biods rather quickly. Since im one minute going whit the dog (Don't want to carry any extra weight and its often fast shots on short distances) and pass shooting whit very long distances.

I have several sets of Harris, They are great but if you want true versatility go with Versa pods they cahnge alot faster. I don't have any but I like the idea of wuick change. I just leave my Haris bipods on certatin rifles I use for certain things. JMHO

3 from the bottom. Best bipod out, IMO.

But likely too big for what you are looking to use it for.

Also, if you go Harris, check out the larue mount for them.

How do you mount Harris bipods, do you have to drill a hole in the forrend or? Or is tere a way to lock them into the sling hole?

What about this one http://www.mountsplus.com/miva/merchant.mvc?page=MSP/PROD/HARRIS_BIPOD/HBP-SBR-000

Im ordering bipods now, what lengt should it be. Im going to shot it proned so what lengt would you recomend? 6-9 inch or?

[nodark]

I have both a 6-9 and a 9-12 but prefer the 6-9 more. Also, I'd definitely recommend the swivel model over the non-swivel.

Cheers mate :D I have ordered swivel ;)
