Oly Posted March 2, 2010 Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 Can someone please explain the difference in operation between notched leg harris bipods and the non-notched harris bipods? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baldie Posted March 2, 2010 Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 Yes... the notched leg ones are a pain in the arse. The non notched have a lock on each leg, which allow you to lock off the leg, in ANY position....not just on the notches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Streeker59 Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 Horses for whatsits.. I prefer notched legs.. The lower legs dont disappear up into the upper legs when loosened like they do in non notched.. Why do they do that? Notched spring out, non notched spring in !!! Notched are easier to level up to each other even if they dont have the range of adjustment of non notched.. We should have a forum wide vote on the issue...... Yes i know i'm a sad Fecker.......

col48 Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 I think they are a waist of time because when shooting of an uneven surface. (and this happens all the time) it is very hard to adjust your rifle level. they are a good idea for shooting from a stable level platform. but then again so is a front rest on a shooting bench. I have had them in all different sizes and i now have none. and will not be adding any to my collection ATB Colin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use Harris swivel non notched ones, just aquired a short one from another member here, they work just fine. A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ejg223 Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 I hunt.. prefer non notched. Much quieter pulling out a leg quietly than a sprung loaded leg twanging out. When it's time to retract the legs noise is mostly not so important. edi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I do is when I get set up is I let out the legs to the fourth notch and fold them up under the barrel so they are then ready to use. all I do is pull them down into position for the shot and back up after.
