This issue isn't so much more then 9" but LESS then 9". For prone, go with the BRMS.

I prefer the 6-9,I have not had any need over that.I had bought the extension legs for my Atlas bipod but have never used them.

Re: which height bipod do you prefer for prone
6"to9" is my choice. I've never even had my bi-pod out to 9". I go as low as possible when in prone.

Re: which height bipod do you prefer for prone
ok thought so...just checking. I'm slim so 6-9 should be good for me. I think I'll go with the friction legs....the notches would be a problem on unlevel ground aren't they???
thanks

no issue.
I prefer the notch.....faster. The swivel mount levels your rifle.

Re: which height bipod do you prefer for prone
no shit....I was wondering about that. So you find no problem with the notches on uneven ground?
Yeah I noticed the notched legs are faster too.

Re: which height bipod do you prefer for prone
think I will go with notches. I don't trust the friction lock for a hefty stick. It is for a 338 DTA

Re: which height bipod do you prefer for prone
Get the notched legs and the swivel or do not even get a bipod. Those are the features you will be happy you got when its all said and done.
Look up Triad Tactical. He seems to have exactly what you need in stock!! Probably the best price too!

6-9 w/ notched legs and swivel for sure and get a pod-loc to.. check Bruno shotters supply for the best price.

<span style="font-weight: bold">Harris BRM-S</span> is THE ONE you want and why:

I bought from Triad just for doing this video.
BR (6-9") is PLENTY tall for prone shooting.

Re: which height bipod do you prefer for prone
The 6-9" is great for shooting from a slab at a square range. If you are going to the field, the 9-13 works better for me while prone. The extra room will get you over obstacles/brush and grass much easier in the field.

Re: which height bipod do you prefer for prone
i went for 6-9. in our area (lots of rocks, few fields, mainly woods), that's more than enough.
btw: order from triad

Re: which height bipod do you prefer for prone
If you are shooting from a nicely mowed area, a bench, a deck, or other prepared place, the 6-9 is fine. If you plan on plopping down on a patch of field somewhere, the 9-13 is much better since you likely don't carry a weed eater in your kit with you. I'm all about the 9-13 leg notch swivel. If I want to get really low, fold the bipod, use a pack or my rear bag (triad wedgie) as a rest on the front and go to work. The taller bipod works much better in the real world.

Re: which height bipod do you prefer for prone
what i have to admit is ... terrain. in my area (alps), 6-9'' is more than good enough. when i was hunting in germany (central western part), i was happy to have grass 'only' reach up to my belly

Re: which height bipod do you prefer for prone
I prefer the 6-9 over here in the Austin, TX Hill Country. The only trouble I start having is when the grass is tall and I have to get the bipod into the +7" range; my stock sock doesn't quite do the trick anymore. Then it becomes "adapt and overcome".

Re: which height bipod do you prefer for prone
I ended up getting extensions for my Atlas, as I always preferred the height to get the rifle butt in the crook of my shoulder. Lower seemed to get it on the collar bone, which got uncomfortable in the recoil pulse. As a bonus, there are quite grassy areas here where getting up above it was mandatory.

Re: which height bipod do you prefer for prone
Since I like to shoot with a rear bag, the 6-9 works best for that.
