    The difference is so small it's not worth discussing but a quick search reveals -

    Harris at 9oz on their site up to under 11oz on retailer websites.

    Atlas at 11oz for the screw clamp style BT10 up to 13.61 for the quick detach style.

      'Thought it wouldn't be much.

      IMHO, the only advantages Harris has over Atlas is Harris is a bit quicker to deploy and it's cheaper.

          Where are you located? I can bring one of my extras to let you try it out (and buy) if you like it.

                Harris is a great all around bipod. Also consider gg&g.

                  Be aware that there are simple "bench" versions and also some versions that allow tilt/swivel vertically. Price and weight go up a little on the swivel versions, but they are a more practical setup.

                    Excellent point to make.

                    I have used bipods where extending the legs spring deploy vs spring retract, swivel and tilt vs just tilt. Some factors to consider when you are shopping...
