Bi-pod or bags

[Bubba-NJ 0]

What do you guys and girls prefer for shooting an AR or a 10/22 from a bench while seated? A bi-pod or sand bags? Can't seem to make up my mind as to which to get. Thanks for your opinions.

on my tacticool guns i just lean on my ammo can or range bag, for my scoped rifles i use a bipod

Sandbag rest. Stationary bi-pod is a pain. I haven't tried one that swivels, but I assume a tiny flinch might throw off your shot.

I prefer bags. I have a couple from Caldwell Shooting supply that I really like.

To me, bi pods on a bench are a pain in the ass. Prone, maybe, but I prefer to shoot off my ruck while in that position.

Wooden benches have a tendency to grab the bi-pod, so making a slight adjustment requires you to lift the rifle and reposition, otherwise you're fighting the tension(for lack of a better term) created when you twist the rifle. Like said above, it's a pain in the ass.

I prefer a bipod unless I'm shooting something without a rail like my Tavor then have to use a bag

I run 2 Harris SBRM s that tilt with a level with good results.

I like the 6-9" swivel bi-pod with the notched legs. That would work well on my S&W 15-22.

I learned to shoot in the rifle pits at Fort Dix in 1968. Can't beat sandbags as a stable rest.

Have one of those - works great.  Light and portable, collapses down so it fits in my range bag.

 

I put a bipod on my Savage Axis - works ok but yes you do have to lift to adjust.
