Looking to put a bipod on my .223 just wondering what sort to get.the only brand that i've seen is harris and they seem pretty good,what else is out there?

cheers Jon

John,

Get a Harris S Series in your choice of heights and legs.

I use the S series 6-9" notched legs when i shoot f class, a s series 9-12" i use when shooting from a bench and a non swivel 9-12" i have as a spare. I have tried the cheaper one but they are no where as good.

You can get a brand new one cheaper than that from the US. TOZ have them for about $100 USD.

Who are TOZ? I googled it but no joy. I need a Harris bipod. $100 sounds good with the strong Aussie at the mo.

Good people.

When you said TOZ, I straight away thought "Russian rifles"

Having looked at that link though, there is some interesting stuff there, are they good to deal with ?

I take it you give them a thumbs up Jason, If they are ok, I'll have a closer look.

I have only purchased from them once - the transaction went smoothly and I had my order in a week. They are a sponsor over on AHN and there are lots of positive reports there.

thanks for the link. They have these bipods listed under Harris Accessories. Do you reckon they are genuine Harris at those prices?

Edit: I've sent them an email to find out.

Yep, they are genuine. Amazing to realise the mark up on this stuff locally isn't it.

But the retailers/wholesalers are going broke Jasonf (according to Gerry Harvey )

Yep, they got back to me in about 15 minutes! They are genuine and postage to Oz is $35. No export permit required.

I just need to decide whether I need a swivel (S) model or not.

Also, there seems to be two types of legs. The Series 1 which has the original leg notches and a newer Series M which also seems to have notches plus a spring to extend the legs. They are the same price, so I'm guessing the M series replaces the series 1 and any series 1 bipods for sale are old stock. can anyone shed any light on this?
