You’ve no doubt seen this post, but what the heck.
Looking for other/all options, on the market, that attach to the top rail of a rifle. (12 o'clock) Specifically ones like the Fortmeier/Phoenix Bipod pictured below. (~$410 and is shipped from UK/Germany) Or one like the elite iron pictured below.($500-$600). It's a little different in...

When I was looking for the Fortmeier, Roedale in Germany had them, and had attachment methods that other sites did not detail. Ultimately I passed.
Maybe you want a rigid bipod with little slack in the legs. If not, but getting a higher apex above the bore is the main focus, I’d go Elite Iron. It’s a little flexy, but on purpose. For example, the 4AW guy showed why he designed flex into his similarly-designed bipod. I could dig up the vid if need be.
On my panning version, at least, I like the rubber feet. They don’t scratch the barrel when the stowed bipod is on the gun and in the case.
Quick attach with KRG chassis is slick
Re:bipods and the Bravo So, I would guess the Elite Iron bipods aren’t the shit for PRS, but on the off chance someone likes them and has a Bravo, I discovered something cool. If you buy their SAKO TRG/KRG Mount, it snaps in/out the spigot hole of a Bravo/W3/X-ray in a half-second. It’s so...

Otherwise the deep-saddled LRA Lite Tactical F-Class achieves much the same thing (higher apex, or lower bore, whatever) and is has more flexibility to detach and reattach to a different gun. I own that bipod too.
The EI is sorta set to a certain mount-to-barrel dimension. Fine if you have a number of guns with just that dimension, otherwise it’s a dedicated solution.
LRA also recently came out with ski feet. I bought some and they are nice. I’ve waffled between rubber, spike, and ski feet for years lol. Ski are nice for rodent shooting with a rigid non-panner like the LRA as you can slide it to pivot quickly.
