HARRIS BIPOD - 6 INCHES TO 9 INCHES TACTICAL BIPOD

This Harris 6–9" Tactical Bipod sets the industry standard for field-proven stability, engineered with 6061-T6 aircraft aluminum construction and a swivel base that adapts to uneven terrain—ideal for precision shooting, hunting, and tactical operations. The spring-assisted leg deployment allows rapid setup in <2 seconds, while the 6–9" height range (in 0.25" increments) accommodates barricades, slopes, and prone positions. Renowned for military-grade durability, the bipod withstands heavy recoil from .308 Win to 7.62mm NATO, with a hard-anodized finish that resists abrasion and corrosion. The swivel base design (10° lateral movement) compensates for terrain inclines, eliminating lateral torque during firing, while non-slip rubber feet enhance grip on soft ground or hard surfaces. A precision-machined locking mechanism secures legs at any height, and the foldable design (4.5" folded height, 14.8oz weight) minimizes pack space for tactical mobility. The universal mount fits standard Picatinny/Weaver rails (20mm width) with anti-slip serrations, ensuring zero movement during firing—backed by Harris’ proprietary recoil lug system for unmatched zero retention. Designed for operational efficiency, the bipod supports 30lb (13.6kg) load capacity, stabilizing rifles, spotting scopes, or camera setups with rock-solid rigidity. The shockproof construction withstands drops from 2 meters, and the tactical matte finish reduces visual signature in covert operations. Whether outfitting a bolt-action rifle for long-range hunting, an AR-15 for precision matches, or a tactical carbine for urban surveillance, this Harris bipod delivers mission-critical stability—trusted by special forces, competitive shooters, and professional hunters worldwide. Included quick-detach mount hardware and a protective storage pouch ensure immediate field use, while Harris’ lifetime warranty guarantees rugged reliability in high-stakes scenarios where equipment failure is not an option. The 6–9" height range balances low-profile stability with adaptable terrain clearance, making this bipod essential gear for operators who demand battle-proven performance without compromising mobility.

A bipod is an attachment, usually to a weapon, that helps support and steady it. The bipod provides significant stability along two axes of motion (side-to-side, and up-and-down).

Bipod comes from the Latin and Greek roots bi and pod, meaning "two" and "foot, or feet" respectively.


History
The first known use of bipods on firearms can be traced back to hand cannons of the 12th century which were cast iron barrels laid on top of short poles.

Bipods on rifles are first known to have been used in an improvised fashion during the mid-19th century, particularly by frontiers hunting buffalo and other wild animals. For example, the painting "The Long Shot" by Howard Terpning shows indigenous native American hunters shooting a rifle with an improvised bipod consisting of two crossed arrows.

During the 20th century, use of dedicated bipods increased, and was seen on different types of rifles during wars. For example the Lewis gun (1914) was fitted an adjustable of bipod.The technology became more advanced, with hinged legs and even extendable or retractable legs.

One of the first companies to manufacture commercially successful bipods was Harris Engineering, Inc founded in 1979 in Barlow, Kentucky by Gerald Harris, Margaret Harris, and Susan Wilkerson. Before starting the company, Gerald had applied for a patent on the bipod. In 2019, their successful Harris Bipods have been produced for nearly forty years, and have remained relatively unchanged.

Recent advances in manufacture of bipods include use of lightweight materials such as aluminium, carbon fiber and titanium, use of different quick attachment and detachament mechanisms (Picatinny, M-LOK, etc. or even magnets) and various types of feet materials such as rubber, metal, or a "basket" designed to stop the bipod from sinking into soft surfaces such as fine sand or deep snow (inspired by ski poles and snowshoes)

Mounting standards
There are several mounting standards for attaching a bipod to a rifle, of which some well known are swivel stud, Picatinny and Versa Pod spigot mount.
