Looking for a bipod for off the table shooting up to 50 and looking at 6" - 9" bipods. ie Ebay Zeadio. The question is which is best, fixed with no movement or swivel and turn.... opinions please

Most of the ones I've come across tend to cant rather than swivel, so I always stick to a fixed bipod.

I prefer fixed too, but most seem to pivot in some way, really don’t like it but it’s a personal thing, I’d try both.

Thanks you and Les think the same

If shooting off a table - go for the basic fixed one. Assuming you can get the table / bench level.

And the level bit is the difficult part on wet muddy range ground as today.
Thanks Jack

go for the swivel EVERY time, heaps better. if things are a bit off level , as soon as you shoulder the rifle fit it is good.
you can adjust the tension of the swivel to suit yourself too

Was not sure is a table or a fixed bench type table - if the former - swivel !!!

Thanks but is there naturally movement rather than totally solid and still ? Difficult in shooting precision at 50
