I saw a video with the bipod mounted so the legs fold forward instead of back toward the breech. Does it matter?

I would think so...Back toward the breech will not let you mount a sling to the rifle. Remember, Always-Always have the Bi pod when folded toward the front...It should be behind the tip of the barrel at least 3 inches. But you can mount it so the legs go to the butt of the weapon. This could make the legs fold or snap back,and the rifle will drop to the ground....Not good with live ammo....

Yes it does. You're supposed to mount them so they fold forward. The reason is because when you are leaning into the rifle snugging the butt end of the stock against your shoulder, the legs won't fold in on you. With them facing the way you saw in the video, you can't fold the legs in, because you're pushing against the way they open, thus not allowing them to close. Hope this made sense.

The one i bought actually swivels, not rotates. It helps with leveling the scope when shooting on uneven terrain. If you want the swivel option you'll have to buy an attachment like i did for my AR15. But it's worth it the Harris bipods are the best.

lacie - no it doesn't - it pivots like a penduelum to make up for uneven ground but not in a true sideways rotation - but it is a good, solid bipod that is extremely well made andeasy to use.

Did you mount the bipod onto your rifle? I had the same concern at first, since I was attempting to manipulate the tilt function by hand on my unmounted bipod. Once I mounted it to a rifle, I was able to effectively tilt the weapon.

I did not buy it for a bipod, but was installed on a pic a tiny rail. So yes...

Yes most mount them so they fold towards the muzzle. Harris is the best bipod for under $100.

Using the quick attach mount, you can have the legs fold in either direction depending on how you mount it. The springs and extendible legs do not move when locked. Its a solid piece of gear.

Sure is. I use a 30 round magazine without issue. Also for better stability, mount the Bipod so the legs fold forward, not backwards. You'll find it more comfortable and functional.

I purchase a rail mount adaptor with this bi-pod. With that it can be mounted to fold forwards or backwards depending on how you place it on the rail. It is sturdy, in my opinion, but this is a matter of individual perspective.

Gun would be backwards on the left leg. It's really only suited to right handed shooters.

No it does not effect how sturdy the bipod is. If you understand how a bipod mounts to a swivel stud you will see that it being able to rotate has no effect on the bipod

Yes. It comes with a picatinny rail adapter to fit the front sling stud and the bipod attaches to the rail. There are a few Caldwell, Winchester, Harris bipods that connects directly to the stud without an adapter if you are not interested in using the adapter.

No, the legs aren't that long. The only way that would be possible is if the bipod legs were resting on something a couple feet tall, such as a fallen log. This bipod is definitely meant for prone position firing, table or surface top firing or as I suggest above.

They will mount left or right. No difference with front sight, rear sight aperature flips opposite if left as is or remove and reverse which would be better. Definate eject angle but not a problem. If you shoot right keep on right side same for lefty, butt can pinch a little if mounted opposite of shooting side.

I had to install a weaver rail to the top of receiver on my Pardner. I mounted the sight over the back half of the breech. It should not matter where you put it though.

Hi! It folds forwards only. It´s very sturdy - in fact it´s more stable than a Harris. The only better Bipod i have is the Atlas but it costs tenfold too. ### VILLE

No...the mounting adapter has a replacement sling stud on it, not the bipod.
