You can add them when needed in seconds and take them off when not in use.

I sold my Jerry Rice Rem 700 to finance my .338LM Timberwolf by PGW (Canadian) - but I think that on that gun (when it gets built)I will go with a Parker Hale on a QD spigot.
I would rethink the Parker Hale. Very expensive and very loose. The weapon has a tendency to flop around when shooting.

Our guys use the Harris and have no real problems during stalks. I have never ran into a problem with the Harris, either form "going bong" or catching during movement. Yes I point hte legs forward as they should be mounted. I also use the swivel model and tighten it up so that I can tilt the weapon but it says tilted to the angel I need so I can mil or do whatever is necessary without the weapon flopping.

The tripod is an excellent piece of kit and should be taken on all trips into the bush. We lash ours to the side of the weapon durign a stalk. Ours are a bit shorter then some discribed here, but the idea is the same.
