I really wanted a Harris bipod that swivels with notched legs. However, I found an awesome deal online for a Harris that doesn't swivel and doesn't have the notched legs. What are the advantages to a swivel one? Also the reason I wanted notched legs is so I could make sure I had them each extended the same length. Or is this a non concern? Having never used a bipod before, I'm wondering if I should just use this thing and see how I like it, or if I should and keep looking for a use swivel one with notched legs and keep this one as a spare?
BTW a friend also told me to be careful with them as if you are rough it can rip the sling swivel stud out. This got me to thinking. Is this a big concern? From shooting off the ground will the recoil of it do this if the legs are firm on the ground? How big of an issue is this?
