Whats the best Bipod for a 85 Varmit .308

[wags.222]

Hi there fellow Sako'ers,

Recently got my self Sako 85 Varmint in .308. Topped with a NF 5.5-22x56 scope. a HSS Muzzle Brake (very tight fit) and now looking a putting a Bipod on it as well.

Who can tell me what brands are out there and which fits Sako the best.

I'm looking a Harris bipod at the moment but there seems to be a number of different models of them. Some fixed, some with swivel, and there's and quick release model.

Swivel and quick release sounds the go to me and 9-13in legs.............. Any one have that? Any reviews on it. Please.

Hope to hear surjections thanks.

Hi Wags.222
as per my pm I don't think you can go passed Harris swivel (they are very good )
FYI I am putting Blackhawk 6-9 swivel in on my new SS varmint only $75 from my local Gun shop
will let you know how they go

What accuracy are you getting from your Sako 85 Varmint in .308?
Thanks!

I use an Atlas. I've mounted Blackhawk Swivel Stud Picatinny Rail Adapters on all three of my 85's - two Varmints and a Hunter. Only have one bipod but then I can only shoot one rifle at a time,

Cheers

I'm looking at an A11 chambered for .22-250 (serial number 334xxx) that was modified for a bipod rail. the rail is thought to be anschutz. it looks like aluminum. must weigh a lot less than the wood that was removed?
would the gun's balance or harmonics, etc, be affected negatively?
thanks
