Atlas BT46 LW17 PSR Atlas Bipods, Standard Height with ADM 170-S Lever

I have had two Harris Bipods before purchasing the Atlas. They are my only basis for comparisonPros for the Atlas:1). It is lighter and more rugged.2) For shooting at the range the Atlas is stronger and allows more consistent loading.3) it looks great. There are no springs to catch on bushes or clothes.The cons mostly relate to hunting.Cons1) it is slower than the Harris. The legs on the Harris deploy together to 90 degrees. This allows the legs to be quickly extended with one hand without taking your eyes off the target. The Atlas requires pushing a button and rotating the legs one at a time to one of several defined positions. This requires some concentration.2) The Atlas legs require more attention to extend. The legs on the Harris are spring loaded. Press a button and a leg will extend all the way. The weight of the rifle can then be used to set the correct height.3) The Atlas allows the legs to be deployed at several angles. I am sure there must be a time this would be useful but I can’t imagine what it would be.4) The Atlas does not allow locking of can’t or rotation. That is not a big deal. The problem is one knob controls tension on both. In order to get my preferred tension on cant, the rotation is so tight that the legs move when I rotate. The bipod is new, time and use may solve the problem. [...]
