swager b-pods
- Thread starter kidoggy
- Start date
I killed my elk last year off of one. Spend some time at the range with it before as it is a little different than a normal bipod. However, once you learn it the mobility is awesome.

Swagger will still honor the Eastman's discount- at least as of this spring they said they would. I was going to buy one so stopped in their Grand Island Nebraska "store" to try one out. It isn't much of a store but they did let me try it. I liked everything about it but the weight. I think I'll eventually get one but it won't go on the mountain rifle.
well , I finally got around to putting the bipod on my .270. and shot a few thru it.
I like the flexibility and range of movement of the bi-pod. not sure I like the extra weight though, on a rifle I carry a lot. think for big game, when doing a lot of hiking, I may stick to just shooting off knees or pack for a rest
the weight is not terrible probably only a 1/2 pound or so.
have a doe antelope tag in November and think I will try it out on that hunt.
worst case I will put it on my pred calling rifle(.223) as I don't generally stray to far from truck when calling yotes

I used it on my deer hunt, functioned great for the shot I had to take. Brandon used it for his bull, that was pretty cool. When we weighed them compared to several others, little bit more. But the functionality was worth the weight.

That is where I have come to the conclusion that there isn't a cow out there that is worth shooting much further than 100 yards from a road.
Age catches up with all of us. The things that we could do in our 30's and 40's look simple but when you get into your 60's you just don't want to push yourself that much anymore.
I shot my last bull when I was 61 and had just under a mile to pack him out on a gradual uphill grade. By the time I was done I was ready to swear off elk hunting forever.

Need to recruit some strong backs and introduce them to elk hunting! I used to get invited on a lot of elk hunts in my late teens and early 20s. The older I get the more I understand what those seasoned guys were doing.
