I have a 6-9” and I know that’s not enough. Heck, it’s barely enough for shooting crows near home in cut hay fields.

What say you? Model#?

I just bought the 13-25" and I like it. Haven't hunted with it yet.

In my experience, having the swivel model matters a ton! I have a non-swivel that I don't use anymore because even in "flat" country, it's not really flat. The swivel allows for easier compensation when setting up on uneven terrain.

I use the Caldwell pivoting 13-20(something) it is a little high to shoot straight prone unless you are on a downhill so I just use my backpack if that is the shooting option

The longer one is great for getting a bit above the grass. The short bipods don't do well in tall grass. (Don't ask me how I know).

I'd get one tall enough to allow for shots from the sitting position. And get the swivel feature. They are a PITA to level without it.

I have been using the Harris 25S model. It’s short enough to be able to use prone but tall enough to use from a sitting position. The swivel feature is a requirement for me.
