Just picked up a Savage 110 Apex Hunter in 6.5 Creedmoor. Looking at putting a Harris bipod on it. Any recommendations, or thoughts on which one to get??
Thanks,
Tim

Sent from my E6910 using TapatalkI found a harris clone that is everything the Harris is, the only caveats was I had to buy some grade 8 bolts, tap a couple threads, a drop of loctite (maybe $15 worth of parts) and this think is as solid as any ive used at a fraction of the cost

My big thing was conveying banner scopes over to elites . That made a big difference for me. But at least the banners got me in the door at the time . But I did learn you get what you pay
For with glass

Mine came with the Vortex Crossfire 3-9x-40. So somewhat decent I believe.

I would recommend looking at the features. I also have a Harris and a clone and can't really tell the difference in use.

I like the notched legs and swivel top (for tilting). I have not ever needed the rotating top.

Height. Both of mine are 9-13. 9" is almost too high for bench so I'd probably be better off with 6-9. But, 9 is too short for prone so if that is on your agenda then get the 9-13.

Harris 6-9 SBRM is the way to go until you can drop the coin on better.
