Since this forum has by far the most traffic, I'll ask here:

 

Who makes the best bipod?

 

I know about Harris, but is there anyone else?

The best is the one you can afford. Most shooters (it seems to me) find the median around Harris which should say a whole lot.

Harris is all you really need to know.

ime It depends what you'll use it for.

 

The Harris (and Outers copy) are perfect if you do not need to pan. If you need pan then VERSAPOD. I recoomend teh tilt version rather than the fixed unless you know the surface you shoot from is 100% horizontal and you mount the bipod dead centre

 

The negative with older VERSAPOD is that the bipod feels wobbly and allows the gun to flop over - with a LARGE scope it can topple. The new versions have locks. 

 

I use both depending on needs.

Harris. I own about 3 and have one on my 10/22, one on my .257 roberts, and one on my .220 swift.

My vote goes to Harris.  They are American-made, too.  Don't know about the VersaPod or Outers...
