Rifle bipods are an essential accessory for heavy rifles, especially benchrest and tactical guns that can weigh in well over 10 Kilo's with optics and equipment. The best bipod will achieve several essential goals for a serious benchrest shooter or experienced long range hunter. Ideally, your bipod should:
- Bear most of the weight of the gun, removing the burden from the shooter
- Provide improved accuracy on the X and Y axis (up/down, left/right)
- Minimize movement between shots
- Provide a stable base on uneven ground or other surface
