Difference in Harris Bipods?

[JoeMal]

I'm looking on Midway and Harris has about a thousand different kinds of bipods, with different heights, features, and product numbers. Is there a handy chart available that outlines the differences between bipods?

For instance, these 2 bipods look extremely similar online, with a price difference of about $30.

The second bipod has a "swivel" feature that allows you to pan and tilt a bit without having to reposition the legs.

"Swivel Models

* These are the models with S in the designation
* Hinged base has tension adjustment and buffer springs to eliminate tremor or looseness"

Here's the Harris home page http://www.harrisbipods.com/ Enjoy!

Correct me if I'm wrong...but they both say they swivel? After looking at them again I think Midway just made a mistake in their advertising...

The swivel they're referring to is the attachment point. They both attach to a quick detach style sling swivel on your stock. Only the S-xx models swivel independantly.
