Next weekend I'm going to northern california for annual ground squirrel annililation and will be setting up portable bench at friends ranch.What is the best method of attaching bipod to Contender? Encore? Thanks

Pull up the Uncle Mikes web page and look at their detachable sling posts. Drill it on a drill press if you have one available. That's what most will use on the wood forends.

Katcher, I ordered one from Midway for the contender but they were out of stock for the encore, do you know what the difference is other than twice the price?why wouldn't a generic QD mount work?

Bipod schmipod, if you have a portable shooting bench, buy yourself a 8x14" or so catch-all gear bag at the local sporting goods shop for $2 or $3 and fill it with packing peanuts. Almost no weight to lug around, you can clip it to a belt loop if you need to, and your pistol just snuggles down into it real solid. Not much movement pre-shot as your whole forend has solid support. Cheaper still, cut the leg off an old pair of sweat pants at the knee, sew one end shut, put a drawstring at the other. Lightweight, effective and quiet, so it'll work on a deer stand just as well. And there you go, a low-tech solution to a high-tech problem.

I have the barrel/bipod mounting bracket for a Harris bipod if you are interested. Shoot me a PM.

Sorry I'm late in answering you. I got to do my civic duty as a juror on a local drug case and never got back on the site Monday. I guess I assumed you had a wooden forend. What do you have? I have wooden Georgia Jim's on all my guns I need a bipod. If that's the case and you can't find one, shoot me a PM and I'll hook you up.
