I was looking for a prone bipod with a pivot feature for easy target tracking. I purchased the Stoney Point kneeling bipod a few years ago, I loved it. The first place I looked for a prone bipod was Stoney Point. Product shipped fast and within a few minutes of opening the package it was already mounted. Now I can quickly change from the kneeling bipod to the prone bipod and vice versa. The only con I could forsee could be the rubber dry rotting and becoming fragile in the future, but as of right now, couldn't be happier with the product.

This is a great bipod for the money. It is very easy to attach and detach. Very lite and steady. No springs or parts to rust.

Would recommend:  no

Why Bushnell would come up with a product that is such a good idea and use trashy parts that break is a mystery. Half the reviews have had broken yokes. Got hot in the field on an antelope hunt and was so flimsy it would not hold the gun up. When cold it breaks when trying to open it. Overall a great design with terrible materials. A total waste of money, and I unfortunately bought 3 of them and 5 adaptors for the swivels. $150 out the drain.

I purchased for 11 year old to turkey hunt. First hunt product broke on the yoke area and the threads stipped out on the aluminum connector. I had to electrical tape the entire unit to get through the hunt. Concept is great but design for durablity is very poor,. I re-ordered a new yoke and had to rivet/drill out stripped aluminum threads. This is the only product that I could find and work for a child,. but a 11 year field tested and did not pass.

As a die hard predator caller, I needed a bipod system that met the following criteria: Lightweight, quickly installed and removed and still be a steady shooting platform. This system was exactly what I needed. I am a believer in using mouth blown calls and need a place to rest my rifle when using both hands to call. It is also important to be able to shoot without the bi-pod if necessary. When using the bi-pod, it needs to be as steady as if shooting off of sand bags. The Rapid Pivot system meets and exceeds everything I was needing. I will soon have an adapter on every rifle I own! You cannot go wrong with this setup!

I use this one set of sticks for three different rifles. They are easy to attach and quite stable. Don't have to pickup both the rifle and shooting sticks when changing position. Very convenient.

there are times when I'm varmint hunting, and I will make a quick shot off the shoulder. Then there are times I like to have a bi pod to just sit and wait. With this set up, it's nice to either choose to have it in your pocket, or on the gun. easy to carry, snaps on and off real easily.
