Re: Bipod yields better results than a bag. How come??
I only use my Harris for one thing. Blasting the living crap outta stuff. I shook the thing to pieces within a few months of buying it and had to go to Home Depot for bolts, washers, nuts. It's got brass hardware on it now LOL.

Re: Bipod yields better results than a bag. How come??
I'm supposed to put the bipod folded forward on the bag then the gun on top of the bipod right? Cause I tried that and it keeps sliding off.
In all seriousness the gun is from 1955 and set up with a movable hand stop for high power shooting. But of course the screw holes are some odd size that isn't readily available so I'll have to fabricate something for it.
I have one bipod that also goes 45 degrees forward and backwards, it works but introduces some really bad bipod hop so I prefer to have the legs straight up and down.

I always shoot better on bipod than bag myself. Why? Dunno. Just what it is.

It's probably better natural point of aim. Most people don't use a lot of bag.

Re: Bipod yields better results than a bag. How come??
It also my be the way the rifle is recoiling off the bag (sliding ) compared to shooting with a bipod (not as much rearward sliding )

Re: Bipod yields better results than a bag. How come??
Having said that, and given that I'm typically shooting for accuracy not speed on either one, my cycle-time on the bipod is much longer. Invariably it 'hops' and I have to reposition - probably a full second between shots IF I'm pushing for speed. On a bag I still have to 're-aim' but not reposition so it's much faster (small fraction of a second).

Re: Bipod yields better results than a bag. How come??
In the USMC UTD test, you are given five seconds for a follow up shot if you miss a target with the first. Knowing how to load the bipod is essential to having a chance to hit with the second shot.
My shooting mat has a strap sewn on specifically for loading the bipod.Boy, I say boy, you're reaching the limits of my medication!

Re: Bipod yields better results than a bag. How come??
I get 0.07 seconds between followup shots and my bipod stays on the table because I hold it on the table.
