[QUOTE=Robinhood;393086]If you are shooting off the bench and not the ground, why a bipod? A homemade bag with a wooden block for elevation works just as well. If you are going to spend the money on a Harris type of bipod buy a Harris. When you get tired of it or move on it keeps it's value. If you buy a rest get a Sinclair or better. A lot of guys are very happy with their Bullets.com Eagle brand rest. Looks like a good value.

Well here we go again with getting off track of the original OP question.
Which was, do I buy a bipod with or without leg notches.
Now I would gladly become involved in another long debate, this time about the best rifle rests.
And chances are nobody would agree with me, because they've never used my rest for what I use it for. lol
