Re: New Harris 6"-9" LMS bipod =)
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Storm Tactical</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Looks good. You will need something to lift up your cheek, like a stock pack or karsten rest. The rings are pretty tall.
Then a sling. Have someone watch you to fine tune your positions. Then, shoot, log shots, repeat!
I can email you some free printable targets for groups and calls.

Thanks Mark - I think a Karsten rest sounds pretty good - especially if these rings need a change out so I can adjust it again. Cheers for the tip and thanks for the offer re targets - I made some A3 targets myself - they work well but I find, so far, steel plates painted white then measured after a few groups works the best for me. Took me 3 shots to zero the gun within ~1 inch. Still need to refine that though.
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: skinnypitt</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Yeah I also noticed how high the rings were. If it were possible I might try ti trade them back in for lower rings. Main reason being that cheek pisition might be difficult with rings that high. Cheek adjustment looks to be needed here for sure..</div></div>
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Longshot38</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Nice looking rig for sure. However the first upgrade I'd do is change the rings out. That Nightforce is sitting way to high. Then I'd get a good trigger job or a new trigger. </div></div>
I thik the rings are going to have to go. Got them as good deal and now it seems for good reason. Nevermind - can be changed quickly and simply, bar cost.
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: neo223</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Trigger is one of the best. leave it. </div></div>
I actually have no complaints. It's the 40-X pro (?) and I have been able to change the weight of the pull by just a single, external screw. Work very well - just heard so much about the upgrades out there so I was contemplating another purchase but, honestly, I'm happy to sick with it (especially when I think about my mates trigger on his 700 SPS).
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Rob01</div><div class="ubbcode-body">You sure that's a 6-9"? The Harris LM-S is a 9-13" bipod.

My mistake - it's definately a 9-13" bipod.. ! Sharp eyes you have there

You are very aware about swapping your rings,so i wont comment.But i'd shoot the guts out of it in it's factory configurations before i changed anything!
If it ain't broke,don't fix it!
</div></div>
Ha, thanks man. It's a good way to be totally broke but nothing beats a man's pride and joy. Could be a car, rifle, whatevs but it's all so worth it when you go to get it out the safe! It's like Xmas every day. Getting a Pelican 1720 in Tan for it next week too - going to be sweeeeet.
