So eventually you are going to machine your own $300 bipod? :) Or just a brick made out of Titanium? :)

While I like bipods, what you are really trying to do is have a bench rest mount that is portable and attached to your rifle. This is then a compromise based on how much you want it to weigh, and cost. How portable does it need to be? How stiff does it need to be? So, like bench rests, you can spend a little or a lot depending on how you want it to work.

I get by with a $75 bench rest or similar bipod. But, I am not trying to shoot 0.1MOA groups either.
