i just saw a bipod that mounts rigidly to the barrell of the gun. how does this affect accuracy. i was under the impression that a rigid mount to the bbl, would throw off the harmonics of the bbl, and decrease accuracy....


am i off base with that thought?

  If you never try you will always fail.

  HI, use shooting sticks instead of a bipod. Lighter, you don't have to shoot off one pod on uneven ground, you can track an animal with the scope upright.... Make your own (recent article in Field & Stream Oct 2002) or buy from Cabelas' et al for $34
  
  Good luck!

  If the bipod touches or causes any pressure on the bbl, you will likely lose accuracy and your point of impact will be disturbed. In the event that you have a TOTALLY free-floating bbl, and the bipod attaches to the STOCK, you will probably be OK.
  Have fun, be careful!
