Those both looked nice. Ok what about the pole-like bi-pods? What are the pros and cons of the ones that mount to the rifle and the pole ones? Sorry I should have added this in the beginning.
Sticks are also usable from standing and sitting and even prone if you push them all the way out. However, they are not nearly as steady as an attached bipod which, in the above examples, are expensive precision machinery.
If you hunt open areas (plains) with high grass or brush and you need to carry something light to give you a high rest to look over the plants sticks are good.
if you are going prone or off a bench for precise / long shots the attached bipod is the way to go.
Shooting sticks can be had for free, if you have access to a wood lot.
You'll soon tire of having a bipod on a hunting rifle. Too slow to get into position and they add weight.
Might try the Harris 13" X 37"?. I believe it is, with the base that cants, if ground is un-level. I've had one on a .223 for the last 18 years, never had a problem.
One last point - if you're likely to need to use the telescoping type bipod from a seated position, extend it in the store and see how much wobble it has in the joints. The early Harris bipods were really wobbly when let all the way out, although I imagine they have solved that problem by now. Still pays to check.
