u dont want anything touching your barrel when u r shooting. it throws the natural movement of your barrel off and you will lose accuracy. get a swivel stud mount with a pod lock so you can lock it down when you get it like you want it.

Havoc is 100% correct. barrel mount is ok for deer at 70 yards but not varmints at 200+

Usually I don't need a swivel type and the fixed is more steady/stable

Been using Harris bipods since the late 70s. Never had any urge to try one of the "swiveling" models, still prefer the original system, clamped solidly onto the quick detach sling stud.

Ain't broke, ain't gonna try to fix it. Although when Harris changed to the adjustable legs, traded all of my original notched leg models to buddies that hated the adjustable ones, before Harris again started making the notched versions.
