Rifle bipods come in many different shapes and sizes with pros and cons to each, but what you choose, ultimately comes down to a little personal preference and what terrain you are hunting in.
A Quick Summary of Rifle Bipods for Different Hunting Situations:
6-9" Bipods
Ideal for shooting in the prone position
The most stable bipod height
Not great when hunting in taller vegetation
Not ideal for shooting steep uphill shots
10-14" Bipods
The best solution for varying hunting situations
You can shoot off your backpack if you need to get lower
Can shoot over tall grass/sagebrush
Potential to be less stable
12-27" Bipods
Perfect for shooting while sitting down
Able to shoot over tall brush much easier
Too tall for shooting while laying down for most people
If you need to take a more stable shot, you can just lay the gun on a backpack
Not as stable due to the height
Better for taking steep uphill shots
Swivel vs. Static
Able to adjust your bubble level easier on swivel bipods
If you are unlevel ground and don't have a swivel, you can just adjust one leg height
As always, let us know if you have any questions on what bipod would work best for you.
