how to integrate bipod with mountain horseback hunt

[Jmh05]

I'm new to western big game hunting and just got back in to rifle hunting after 20yrs of bowhunting.

Heading out to Montana in 3 weeks. I got a bipod for my 300 win mag but it attaches to the swivel. Obviously I will need the sling if we get off the horses and walk. Do I just try to un-attach the front sling attached to the swivel and throw the bipod on if needed and do it quickly?

I’ve had similar set ups & now prefer using shooting sticks
Works for me but you’ll want to try it out first & even practice some

I've never used my bipod while hunting out west because I had a backpack on and the bipod was unnecessary weight. I had my rifle sling across my chest/under my arm similar to this. It actually is quicker to draw than the shoulder sling too.

That said, my bipod has a hole in it for the sling, but it's in a weird spot. Do you see any other holes on your bipod attach the sling?

Here is the gun bearer I used.

I would prefer to use my pack, or shooting sticks personally, but if you want to use a bipod, many have an attachment point for a sling on the bipod mount itself, or you could add another sling stud to your rifle below the bipod mount. Many rifles come with 2 studs now just for this very reason

Install a second swivel to the front. Many guns already come with one for this exact reason.

Which bipod, Harris has an attachment ring for slings on theirs.
I use a bipod and never take it off my rifle except for travel in a case.
I use one for all hunting with no issues and the extra weight is well worth it for me to have a solid rest.
No struggle to get a pack off to set up, just quietly put down the legs and you're ready to shoot.

I see now it's a horseback hunt, be sure to ask if their scabbard will fit a rifle with a bipod, or if you have to supply your own scabbard for the ride in.

Shooting sticks is the best thing to use that double as a hiking stick as well.

Awesome and thanks for the info. I'll read this in detail here shortly.

I am headed to Utah on mule deer hunt and we will be horseback. I use the hatch bipod.
it attaches to a rail and connects/disconnects super easy/quick.

Need more details on what bipod and rifle etc. Many different ways to skin this cat.

I got one of these recently and really like it. You can put it on or take it off the rifle in 1 second. It comes with an adapter to put on your rifle and attaches by a magnet

Primos trigger stick bipod or tripod, ditch the bipod IMO. I used a Bog Pod on my last elk hunt and it was worth its weight not only as a rest for the gun and binos but I used it as walking sticks when side hulking and going down some rock slides.

I much prefer my Primos tripod 60" trigger sticks to a bipod or anything else. They're light and easily adjustable and easy to use. Very stable to shoot off of too.
