Bipod Advice

[IronNoggin]

Hi Folks - need a little advise for a good buddy here...

He hunts with a M 380, and hunts open prairie a LOT!
That requires long distance belly crawls, and pretty much most shots are taken from prone.
He called today asking what I might know about bipods, but unfortunately my knowledge is basically nada on the subject (I shoot chiefly from a stand or on my hind legs).

So, what he is seeking is a bipod that is suitable for prone shooting (6 - 9 inches?? More? Less?), has an attachment at the bottom of the bipod so he can attach his sling as per normal position, and a bipod that swivels at the connection point to allow for leveling of the bow on sloping terrain.

I figure at least a few of the fine folks here have had some experience with this type of set-up, and so am hoping we can count on your sage advise to help once again!

Many Thanks in advance! And best of luck to all this fall!!

Cheers,
Nog

Good afternoon Nog
I am in no way an expert on this subject but I have tried different bipod son my BD400 and settled on the sportster by Blackhawk. It is available in 6-9" or 9-13" whichever would fit your buddies needs best. It attaches to the swivel stud and as a sling stud on the bipod itself. It also has a lockable tilt feature which I've found very useful. They can be purchased at numerous sporting goods or even stores such as Walmart. I hope this helps.

Several on eBay. I have one that looks like this and does well on my front stud on my Excaliburs.

I also run a Harris on my rifle. My suggestion is to go on YouTube and search 'Sniper 101...bipods'. This guy is a U.S. military sniper trainer and an absolute wealth of knowledge. He will cover what to look for and what to avoid.
