Bipod vs Ruck/buttpack

That is a can of worms. I prefer the bipod as it gives me more consistency. I have found the buttpack to shift and collapse at the most inoportune times.

I heard of pre-packing with non-shifting stuff but now you have a butt pack that is not good for anything else. The ruck can also get yo up high enough to become unstable. If I need to be up that high I would prefer a tripod of sticks or even a camera tripod.

My two cents on the subject.

Waiting for the Mairne contingent to voice their opinion.
