Re: Bipod

friend of mine swears by his un attached bipod, bogs?, I forget which one, they also have a tripod thats extremely stable, and the rest pivots, which is nice. If your on uneven ground then that may be a good option for you. If in a shooting house with bench then the attached bipod might work better.
