Shooting From The Prone Position with Swagger Bipods

[ScottR]

Hey guys, I wanted to share this video with you that we put together using the Swagger Bipod System. They also asked me to make sure that all of you were aware of their promo code for Eastmans' forum members. Use the code shootwithswagger and it will apply a deep discount at checkout. Check them out HERE.

Thanks guys and let me know if you have any questions on the product. I killed my bull with it and have a couple of boxes of ammo through that gun now off the top of this system.

I'd love to watch the video but I have a willmore advertisement that takes up about a third of my screen, popup advertisements are really annoying.

That should be getting fixed ASAP.

It looks bulky on the rifle, heavy and seems like when you have the rifle on your shoulder with a sling it would be uncomfortable. We’re any of these a factor on your bull hunt?

I really like the flexibly of the bipod and that is is adjustable.

I was wondering how bad it jabbed your shoulder when carrying it on a sling as well.
I take my sling off for the day right before daylight anyhow.
But early in the morning and after dark I carry with a sling.

I used one on a last cow Elk hunt heres my take on the Swagger
Its easy to install and change to a different gun
Its vary stable but it takes two hands to tighten the legs
Its a little bulky but it didn't bother me
When carrying over my shoulder didn't notice any difference but it was 10deg and i was warring a ton of cloths
You can move or rotate on a target i shot a coyote running at 200 yrds
i only used it on one trip but so far i like it

Interesting leg design but I'm not enthused with the bulkiness of the system. Over the years I've tried several bipods and I've finally settled on using a monopod. In the prone I'll use my pack but in any other position I'll use the monopod. Typically I use the monopod as a walking stick so it's pretty convenient for me to use it for a rifle rest.

I'll stick with my Harris Bi-pod.

I didn't notice it on the trips I took with it.

My concern is causing the barell to jump on recoil due to the angle of the legs. Probably wouldn't matter though. Looks like it's durable.

They might work OK for a lot out there but I found out that I can not focus my eyes through my scope if I am in the prone position. I used to be able to do it and even now I can focus depending on the angle of the rifle, my body, and the target. But this was self inflected when I had cataract surgery on my eyes.

I just have to stick with any position except for prone. Some of you that just wear glasses might have the same problem that I do. When I try to look through the scope my eye is trying to use the outer edge of the lens that the surgeon placed in my eye and it just doesn't work. I remembered that when I just wore glasses that the same thing would happen if my head was tilted to where I was trying to look through the edges of the lens of the glasses.
