I am currently building my first AR (I'm a young minor) with my father and was wondering if you guys and gals out there could suggest some good quality bipods for prone hunting (coyote) with spiked feet, not the Harris bipod spikes because those are to much for my budget. Hunting in Arizona, please consider climate in your replies. Thanks a ton!

Reason for spiked feet .. The terrain here is very packed dirt therefore i need spikes to dig into the dirt providing steady aim for precision shots. -Colt Have you shot here with both spiked and non-spiked feet? Keep in mind I live in AZ as well. Also the standard for a bipod are a Harris. Try finding one used and that should keep the cost down. I've tried to use the cheaper bipods before and they will break after a while. Then you have to buy another $40 bipod... When you could have just bought an $80 used Harris (That actually starts to put you into the "new" range) and called it a day. |

Yes my fathers bipod has rubber feet and is pretty accurate but every so often shifts significantly enough to disturb my shot, where as spiked feet would not move due to the fact that they are implanted in the ground, and thanks for the info. |

Anything less expensive than a Harris is nothing but a problem waiting to happen. My best bipod, my Sako has feet that are basically flat metal, I used it in AZ, and never had a problem When you learn to load the bipod you'll find you won't need spikes. Thanks brother I'll look into a Sako. -Colt |

Check out a Bog Pod SB - 2. The rubber feet unscrew and have carbide tips which will work for what you want. I bought one recently, it works well, and they are very light to carry and the head swivels. I used it today at 300 yards on a 10 inch steel plate with good results. They run about $40.
Edit - SB-2 will only work for sitting or kneeling, not prone. |
