The Caldwell XLA Pivot Bipod, 13-23 Inch Aluminum (Caldwell part no. 701417) is a sling-swivel-stud bipod built for hunters and rifle shooters who don’t always get a level shot. Caldwell’s pivoting lower leg assembly compensates for ground that’s unlevel by up to 20 degrees, while an adjustable tension knob lets you dial in how much resistance the pivot has underhand. Lightweight aluminum construction and quick-deploy, button-actuated legs mean this bipod is ready the moment you need a rest, and it folds forward for compact carry the rest of the time.
