Is the Harris #S-25C suitable for prone shooting out in the field?

No, this high-rise model is not recommended for standard prone shooting. With a collapsed height of 13.5 inches, it is engineered specifically for seated, kneeling, or elevated shooting positions to clear tall vegetation like spinifex and crop stubble. For prone shooting, you should look at shorter models in our range such as the Harris HS-BR or Harris H-SBRM.

Can I mount this bipod on a lever-action rifle?

No, Harris explicitly advises against using the HS-25C model on lever-action rifles that feature barrel bands or tube-mounted swivel studs. The extended height and leverage generated by this bipod create excessive torque that can damage these specific rifle mounting setups. It is best suited for conventional bolt-action rifles with standard stock-mounted sling swivel studs.

What equipment do I need if my rifle stock does not have a standard sling swivel stud?

The Harris #S-25C attaches directly to standard quick-detachable sling swivel studs found on conventional rifle stocks. If your firearm features a Picatinny, M-LOK, or KeyMod handguard instead, you will need to purchase a compatible sling stud adapter separately before mounting the bipod.

Are there any electrical compliance requirements or special permits needed for this bipod in Australia?

As a purely mechanical rifle accessory made of heat-treated carbon steel and aluminum, 240V compatibility and SAA or RCM electrical certifications are completely not applicable. Additionally, under Australian state and territory firearm laws, bipods are unregulated accessories and do not require any special permits to purchase or own.

Sitting Bipod - Harris HS-25C

The Harris Engineering #S-25C High Rise Swivel Bipod is an elevated, adjustable rifle support engineered for sitting and kneeling field shooting. Built from heat-treated carbon steel and hard aluminium alloys with a black anodized finish, it provides an elevated rest to clear field obstacles without requiring separate shooting sticks. The bipod mounts directly to conventional QD sling swivel studs, includes a built-in loop for sling reattachment, and uses an adjustable tension swivel base to level firearms on uneven ground.

Who is the Harris #S-25C High Rise 13.5-27" Swivel Bipod for?

Australian field hunters stalking deer and feral goats — requires the 13.5 inches to 27 inches adjustable height of this high-rise bipod to establish an elevated, stable shooting platform from seated or kneeling positions on sloped terrain.
Pest control shooters targeting foxes and wild dogs in tall vegetation — leverages the 13.5" collapsed height and 22 oz all-metal frame of this high-rise swivel bipod to clear ground cover like crop stubble, tussock, and spinifex that obstruct standard low-profile rests.

Less suitable for: Dedicated prone shooting, as the 13.5" minimum collapsed height positions the rifle too high off the ground (a low-profile 6–9" or 9–13" bipod fits prone applications better), or lever-action rifles with magazine-tube studs or barrel bands where long-leg torque leverage can strain mounting hardware.
