Anyone have experience of the Edgar Brothers bipod as opposed to the Harris bipods, swivel type.

Or any other suggestions for a good bipod.

Is the Edgar Brothers one the Harris clone?

By the looks of it.

I have shot with the Harris clones and for the money they were fine however it is really down to the application you need one for.

Moderate range use for target shooting out to 800yrds, .243" calibre.

I would never go stalking with one.

On a .243 it should be OK.

Wouldn't touch one with a bargepole, I had one on the boys .22 and the legs bent on the first outing.
If your looking for a cheaper Harris clone go for the global rifles version, half the price and you get a podlock on the swivel model

I have been using one on and off on full bore rifles for a good few years without problems so maybe they have changed design or supplier.

Yup,
Steer clear. It went on a rifle, cal. 22-250 for a single evening and then went back. Shoddy effort.

Have a look at the vanguard equalizer if seeking a light model.

That was a useful tip! sign92

I was at Bisley yesterday, shooting using a Harris bipod and thinking it would be great if I could lock the tilt. I think I'm going to treat myself to a new bipod.
