When I was looking for a bipod for my LR-308 build, I was hoping to get something along the lines of a GG&G 1125 model or an Atlas bipod. What I received is not as sturdy or easy-to-use as I had hoped for.
The Blackhawk bipod is very lightweight and easy to set up. However, it is not quick to put into operation, does not have positive clicks when raising/lowering the legs, and if you're not careful, the rifle can fall over onto its side when laying in the rest position.
This being my first non-Harris bipod purchase, maybe my expectations are off-base. Perhaps the other tactical bipods all exhibit the same characteristics that I have just described as negatives. If so, I stand corrected. However, as it is now, I am now looking for another bipod to replace the Blackhawk.
Pros: Very lightweight and easy to install.
Cons: Leg adjustments need clicks when raising and lowering. Not easy to adjust when in prone position.
