My M&P AR. Help to steady the aim. With the scope set to high power, I move around a little to much to suite me.

Standing? Sitting? Prone?

Distance you normally shoot? If you're shooting less than 100yds, lower power setting on the scope is better. If you're shooting far and need it cranked up, you should probably be in prone.


That being said, a USGI sling is hard to beat for steadying the aim. a VTac and the "tactical" slings are better for support of carring the rifle and being able to transition side to side. They aren't really made to support the aim. So it's different functions.

Thanks for the feedback!

Appleseed knowledge put to excellent use!

I'd recommend a bipod and/or a USGI style sling to help steady the aim

OK, now bi-pod recommendations. I only want to buy this gear once. And I want good stuff, no cheap crap .

 

[chocktaw2]

Yea, yea, yea. It'll prbly be gone when I get there!

 

[OneBadV8]

Harris Bipods are the only ones worth buying.

I like the 'S' models because they swivel a little bit to help compensate for slightly uneven ground.

Got it, thanks V8.

They wanted $175 for it. It's on Bladeforums, I didn't see if that included shipping or not.

You want a knife for the chop-in? If I get time to sharpen mine you can use one of them.

Thanks for the offer. If I can't find anything that catches my eye I might take you up on it.

They might not be sharpened yet though

The 6" - 9" model is perfect for AR's.

And if you buy it from LaRue with their Mount Combo, you'll get the two cheaper. Unless you already have an adapter.
