Bipod yields better results than a bag. How come??

Are you loading the bipod? Loading it a bit makes a big difference for me. As Noah said, you can make the bipod really stable that way.

I use a bipod on the front and a squeeze bag under the stock on my long range rifle.

or, the "overachiever" is an egomaniac with psychological shortcomings who goes beyond simply performing the expected task by grossly exagerating the scope, just to prove they can and tho divert attention from the fact that they are pompous insecure little brown nosers that are trying to get the bosses attention and make everyone else look bad. In my opinion, If the "over acheiver had enough time to do all the extraeneous activities, he is clearly under utilized and probably could have completed 3 tasks within scope to one task with all the extra non value added bells and whistles
In short, no one likes a showoff,
I get better groups shooting offhand standing, bags and bipods are for kids. I didn't know what the rifle vises were for, and a guy let me use his. Some dude named Barak Obama asked me what I was doing when he saw me shooting my rifle while clamped in the vise , standing, at 400yds, getting sub moa. I asked him how they can shoot this with the clamp thingy digging into their shoulder, I had to keep switching between left and right hand to keep from developing callouses on one shoulder, and wearing a hole in my mighty shirt. My rifle was a daisy red rider. Iron sights.
True story.
I also shoot my pistol with a live #100 pig under each arm and a live weasel in my pants to simulate stressful combat situations.

Show off.

so you have seen me at the range then.

I always rest my bipod on the bag.

Doesn't that hurt when you fire?

I suppose the "cant" argument is also pretty valid.

I shot a Harris bipod for a few years (from the bench & loading it) the results were satisfactory. I switched to a rest last year and it made a big enough difference for me to dump the bi-pod. I think a bi-pod has it's place if you're shooting from the ground and not the bench.

All of my precision rifles have bipods and I have shot some of my smallest groups using a bipod and a rear bag. I tend to be more consistent laying prone behind the rifle loading the bipod rather than shooting off of a set of bags.

I really notice it with my Bull Gun, it can shoot sub 0.5 MOA groups but more often than not I throw a flyer to open it up. I want to test it with a bipod however I haven't yet found a good way to mount one yet.

Mount it so that when it's folded, the legs are pointing forward...

And to address an earlier post: some bipods can cant...

As far as those rear bags go: you can make your own out of a sock with airsoft pellets/sand/etc. and a cable tie. I always put its matching sock (the one with holes) on the outside. Don't use beans - when the sock gets wet, they sprout.

Bubble level is good: Many Spuhr scope mounts come with them embedded in the rear position.
