For the past 50 years, I've been hunting coyotes and prairie dogs with like bipods and they had not been very steady to shoot from. However, this model F3B40-R1X Stoney Point with .520in diameter tubing I just purchased, it is the most steady bipod I've ever shot form. I was really inpressed using it to terminate many, many prairie dogs this July 2010 year. I'm anxious to shoot coyotes off this bipod starting at the end of September. Note: On a normal year I harvest around 50 coyotes from (Sep thur Jan). However, with this more steady .520 diameter tubing bipod I should be able to up the coyote harvest maybe 10-15%.
Pros: This Bipod, has the much heavy duty .520in diameter tubing instead of the much smaller .350in or so diameter tubing that Stoney Point and other manufactures are offering.
Cons: What I don't like about the Steady Stix-2 Magnum is that it only comes in the Black color and not in Camouflage.
