Bipods, Harris Or Atlas?

Yep, add the KMW pod lock to the Harris and it will serve you fine.

If you order the Harris from short action precision, they have a swivel lever that’s really nice also, and the bipod comes out to $130 shipped or so- lever included.
It may not be the quality of Terry’s lever, but it’s definitely smaller.

The Harris is doing everything I need it to do. Was wondering if the adjustable leg angle on the Atlas was a desirable feature?

Thanks for the tip!

What is this KMW you mention?
I guess the forward angle on the Atlas would give a longer more stable plane in theory.

Thank you!
It would allow you to get lower if you wanted to but no more stable. Is it something you need?
Terry Cross of KMW was the original maker of the Pod Loc and then other knock offs followed.
I have got knock off from Amazon with the Arca rail adapter and it locks up tight.
Congratulations? Lol

A lot of people knock the Harris. Depends on what your doing. It's fast, it's stable, it's inexpensive. I believe Austin Orgain? top PRS shooter in the country uses one. I still have mine from 18 years. It has it's shortcomings, yes, angling forward can help in certain situations, a wider footprint can help with certain calibers. But, it doesn't disappoint.

No not really. Shooting prone I can get low enough with the Harris.

You're correct, plenty of folks are quick to knock them. They have served me well so I have no reason to knock them. I was more wondering if the Atlas has anything better to offer. From the responses here it does not sound like they are worth the extra money. I'll stick with the Harris.
Thank you all for you're input!
You might have noticed that video in the link for the KMW part. That guy had a good suggestion on how to set the tension on it for field shooting.
