Lets state the obvious right here at the start.
The market is saturated with bipods of all different configurations and price ranges.
In the long run, youll regret it.
A bipod allows the shooter to remove excessive movement when aiming the rifle. A good bipod can adapt to a variety of environments.
But what features do you need?
For me, notched legs are another must-have feature if the bipod is needed for serious use.
Leg notches allow for one-handed incremental adjustments from behind the rifle, and they wont slip or loosen.
On this SAINT rifle, the bipod is connected to the handguard with anM-Lok attachment pointin the 6 o’clock position.
Also, they have a habit of slipping at the worst time.
Sometimes, QD mounts are organic to the bipod and other times they are separate accessories.
Pressing Concerns
Now, there is a right and a wrong way to attach a bipod.
M-Lok and Picatinny-railed fore ends are easy systems with which you can attach a bipod. Traditional wood-stocked rifles sometimes require modifications.
The Harris bipods, and similar, are designed to be mounted so that the legs fold forward.
This is called loading.

A precision rifle, like this M1A Loaded with anArchangel stock system, will often have an easy way to attach a bipod.
Abipod for a Springfield SAINT: a bipod should have legs that fold out of the way and also can adjust to uneven ground.
Even when shooting from a bench, a bipod can help the shooter improve both accuracy and precision on target.
The bipod market offers a wide range of options from which the consumer can choose. Consider the purpose of the gun when selecting one.
