The Wild Life OV #306 FULL EPISODE: I needed a good bipod for my Savage .300 Winchester Magnum Long Range Hunter. I tried a Caldwell, first, but that didn’t work out. So I went back to my “go to” bipod brand, the 100% Made in the USA Harris Bipod!

I feel like it’s gonna be very cursed to just use on a Shotgun
I strongly recommend staying away from what are known as “ballistic” reticles or BDC knobs (Bullet Drop Compensators) designed for a particular cartridge. These are nearly useless as they only apply to a very narrow range of circumstances, such as a particular load in one cartridge under an assumed set of atmospherics that will probably never exist where you are shooting. Sadly, these are sold to hunters who usually don’t have an in depth understanding of exterior ballistics and find it easy to buy into this “snake oil”. If you were only shooting out to 300 yards or so, these systems might be just fine, but they will not allow the long range precision shooter to accomplish the task at hand. Whether your optic is an MOA or an MRAD based system is not important as both are a means to the same end. However, if you have an MRAD based reticle, the turrets should also be in the MRAD system and are usually graduated in 1/10th MRAD increments. A scope that has the reticle in one system and the adjustments in another will only lead to confusion and the incompatibility of the two systems.
Hahaha! Good camo, those quail didn't even see you. Usually it's the quail startling me not the other way around.
A fire in the fireplace? in July? Sure is a nice bipod. My Styr SSG P2 came with a Harris bipod and rail adaptor 30 years ago. Always worked well, but the new Harris bipods are better. Thank you for the video, Ken
