Introduction
MARS had an opportunity to shoot a rifle equipped with a GG&G bipod a few months ago - this prompted the sale of virtually every other bipod on our personal rifles to be replaced with the GG&G product.   Read on to find out why we think this might be the best bipod on the market.

My Sister is a Bank Vault
The first thing you'll notice about the ED Bipod is how solidly it locks up.  I have yet to see a bipod that locks up this solidly in the deployed position.  The legs literally do not move.  This feat is accomplished through the use of an eccentric adjuster on the lockup as seen in the picture below.
 
Mounting
The ED Bipod has a MIL-STD-1913 mount that slides onto the front of the weapon system and indexes in place with a bar pad.  The thumbnut is spring loaded so you can select a rail slot before tightening it down by pushing in on the button.   This helps prevent damaging your rail by mis-indexing it.
 
This attachment method may be the only place we can find real criticism with the ED - if you have anything on the rail in front of the bipod you must remove that before removing this unit.  This isn't a big deal as most people don't mount anything but a bipod on the 6OC rail.

 
In the Field
Deploying the bipod is accomplished by grasping both of the knurled lever arms at the same time from the bottom and pulling towards you.  Alternately, you can deploy the bipod one leg at a time.  
 
The ED Bipod has fairly agressive pads on the bottom to aid in traction on different surfaces.  These pads are rock hard and will scratch the hell out of anything you put them on that you actually cared about.  Because of how hard they are I doubt they would help on rocks and car hoods and such as much as the Harris pads do.  

 
Remember the comment about how rigid this bipod is while shooting?  We found this translates directly into faster on-target strings at range.   We set a 6 inch plate at 550 yards and engaged it with our MARS Recce guns.  As fast as you could pull the trigger is the phrase for this bipod.   
 
We also shot a Harris bipod on a similar rifle that day and the difference was more than just our imagination.
 
During our last session this bipod was literally coated in blowing sand and tumbleweeds.  We dug this thing in up to the neck in sandy dirt and threw some crap on there just for giggles.  It took everything in stride - none of the adustments locked up and the bipod had a generous cavity in the legs to pack crud into when it gets dirty.
 
Conclusion
If you don't have this bipod you are missing out.  I'm pretty sure I could sit on my rifle with this bipod deployed and it wouldn't get all bent out of shape.
