 Look not further for a bipodJul 31, 2010
By Charlie
Harris S-BRM bipod
The S-BRM bipod has the swiveling action (allows you to tilt the rifle 45 degrees each side to compensate for uneven terrain) and the leg-notches. What this means is you get spring-action leg ejection by pushing the button, then you adjust it using the notches. It also means you get a center adjusting nut to adjust the amount of friction for the tilt/swivel action. The "BR" designation means it is the shortest "bench rest" model available, with a height of 6" to 9".
When I mounted the S-BRM on an AR15 w/ a railed handguard, there is enough clearance to use either 20rd mags or 30rd mags, so it is perfect for the bench rest or in the field. I also installed the Pod-Loc which makes the swivel friction adjustment extremely easy, so I highly recommend a Pod-Loc with the S-BRM.
I also have a 1A2-L (9"-13" height, fixed) which is also well made. I bought a Shooter's Ridge Chinese copy of the 1A2-L and it literally fell apart after a few hundred rounds at the range.
Pros: Easy to use, shorter height for less tremor, lightweight
Cons: Should have come with the Pod-Loc from the factory, the leg notches aren't as easy to use.
Overall: 5/5, the bipod to use

 Harris S-LM 9-13" BipodMar 22, 2011
By Satch J.
I have one of these in the 9-13" height. I use it exclusively on the bench so far, and find the swivel to be unnecessary to that purpose. The swiveling action is also damaging the finish on my Bell & Carlson stock, because the forend is too broad and flat to properly accommodate the bipod mount.
I ordered the version with the solid base recently, and don't expect to find any problem with it. The basic function of the S-LM seems to be very good, and I have found nothing wrong with the workmanship. It's a good bipod.
Of course, I also have $40 Winchester bipod which is likely a Chinese knock-off of some Harris model, and I have not had any trouble with that either. The Harris is a bit lighter, and has self-ejecting legs with leg-notches The cheap copy has not shown signs of breaking, or even loosening up after substantial use on different guns.

The right BiPodAug 07, 2011
By Alexander N
Fits my Sig Sauer SSG 3000 rifle with no adapters. Installed in moments. Works great. This is the right kind of BiPod. The sling swivel can be attached to the BiPod so if you want to still have the sling attached - you can. 5 stars, Can't go wrong with Harris Engineering, and it is made in USA.

Great piece of craftsmanship and well worth the price you pay for them. You can get others for less, but not as well made.

Heavy Duty, Rock Solid.Oct 02, 2011
By Rolandus
I got this as a birthday present. My brother-in-law (bless him) told my wife I would need it for my trip to SD to shoot prairie dogs. This thing is built like a tank and attaches very firmly to my AR-15 and my Browning A-bolt. I haven't tried it on anything else yet, but I have no doubts about it.
Pros
- Rock solid.
- Looks awesome.
- Has built-in 3-axis pivoting. The range of motion isn't huge, but it's nice to have it there.
- Spring loaded legs extend with a single touch.
- Nice rubber pads to protect your stock.
Cons
- Heavy
- Takes a little while to attach/detach.
- Kinda big, so it might not fit in your case while attached to the rifle.
- A little noisy to work with, so don't think you can fold/unfold or extend/retract the legs without spooking close game. Or just be extra careful :)
If you're looking for a serious bipod that can take abuse, this is the one.
