Looking for a decent bipod that can come and go as required.
Looking for a nice 1x4 like a burris Tac30 sometime down the road and sometimes it would be nice to put something on there when laying out prone. I'm not shooting extreme long shots with a 16 inch but would like to see what she is capable of.

$20 bipods scare me and so do +$100.
I'm just not savvy on them so any recommendations is appreciated.

Harris is the standard for mid grade bi pods. I like the HBBR-S in 6-9" and have two of them. My only complaint is that they are sometimes a bit on the tall side and I have to dig holes for the feet.

Better get some 20 rd mags or your legs will dangle.

Get a Harris tilt and call it good.

Yep, Harris is the cheapest bi-pod I would recommend also. I use quite a few of them and any of the HBR series would probably work for you. They are a little more "hoppy" than the more expensive bi-pods, but still very shootable.

Disgustipated is wise.

The Winchester sold for 40$ at Wally world is identical in design to Harris. The springs are just a tad weaker but they're still solid pods for a very reasonable pod. I have a few, and a few Harris and I have to look closely to see which is which.

Can't go wrong with the Harris, but I have also found the GG&G bipods as very reliable. GG&G also makes a Harris Bipod QD adapter, so you can easily add/remove your bipod and adjust your configuration as needed. I've used a Grip Pod, too, and found it to be very tough/reliable (apparently, used by USMC), but it's not nearly as versatile as the Harris or GG&G products.

I really like the Versapod ones I have. I have both a short and tall unit and adapters on several rifles, works great.

I have a Harris also but have only shot once with it, worked fine.

I use the Harris on my Rem700 .308 heavy barrel. Should work good on an AR, but as mentioned get 20 round mags or the 13" Harris.

Pod lock is the shit on the swivel bipods...
