Bipod question

[Buckmaster 30-30]

Im wanting to buy a bipod for my 30-06 and was wondering which one you guys have on your handis. I cant seem to find one that has a sling attatchment , I need to have a sling on this gun because mabe this upcoming deer season I am going to go to some of my famililes place in Texas so I might be taking a long shot.. Any help would be appericiated.

I've had a Harris bipod for a number of years and while it attaches to the sling swivel stud, it also has a provision to attach your sling to the bipod.  I just looked at the pictures on Midway's web site and couldn't tell if they did or did not have a sling attachment....my guess is they do have an attachment.

You might stop into your local gunshop and have a look.

Any of the bipods that attach to the sling stud should have the setup that will allow you to attach the sling to the bipod.....I've never seen one that didn't. 

I use the Shooters Ridge Rock Mount bipods.  Have one in 9-13" and 13.5-23".  The 9" is great for shooting off the bench or prone, and the 13.5-23" fits me just perfect at 23" for sitting shots.   I also like the fact that they fold up under the barrel for carrying.....although, the 13.5" is long on a 22" barrel and will be ahead of the barrel when folded up, but not near the muzzle.

Picked one up at walmart and it is a cheaper harris copy but works fine.  As long as you do not intend to abuse the bipod it should last a long time.

I have a Shooter's Ridge Pivot model.  It's built just like the Harris, but they cost less.  Not paying for the Harris name maybe.  I'm very happy with it.

I have several each of the Harris and the Rock Mount bipods. I have the same sizes as J. Plate does. They all are set up for a sling ... no problem there. The Harris bipods got too expensive too fast for my taste about a year or so ago and I started buying the RM bipods at quite a bit less money. The only thing I had to do to the RM bipods was to spray them with a flat black paint as they came with a high gloss finish which I didn't really like using in the field.

These photos were posted before.  This is my 223 with Harris bipod.  I installed another sling stud to mount the bipod on.





This photo was taken prior to mounting the new sling stud.
