I received the POD-LOC on the same day as the Harris Bipod. I never used the knob supplied with the Bipod, but as hard as I need to crank the POD-LOC, I don't believe the knob would create enough force to keep the cant position stable.

There's not really a lot to say about this product other than Harris should have Incorporated it into their bipods. Without the Pod-Loc swivel adjustments are a pain in the butt. With the unit installed a simple twist and the bipod is secure. It's a great product, that I highly recommend. I would also recommend Mounts Plus is my order was processed and shipped quickly and with no problems.

I found the KMW Pod-Loc to be an essential accessory for anyone using a Harris swivel-model bipod. It's transformative, offering superb adjustability and stability for prone target shooting or varminting. Installation might take a bit of time, but it's straightforward and well worth the effort. The Pod-Loc effectively eliminates bipod flop, allowing for rock-solid locking with a simple one-handed operation. It’s available from several retailers, enhancing the usability of Harris Swivel bipods significantly.

After installing the KMW Pod-Loc on my Harris bipod, the difference in stability and adjustability was night and day. It made a significant improvement to my shooting setup, allowing me to easily adjust the tension without any tools. I even received outstanding customer service when I encountered an issue, which was quickly resolved with a replacement. It's truly a game-changer for anyone using a Harris bipod, enhancing the overall shooting experience.

This nifty device replaces the tension nut on the back of the Harris bipod, allowing you to control the tension for twisting the rifle or even locking it in place. Installing the KMW Pod Lock is straightforward. Start by removing the tension knob's nut on the bipod, ensuring not to lose the cross pin. Once you've taken that off, you simply screw on the Pod Lock, and that's it! I'd advise doing this with the bipod detached from the rifle. When it comes to bipod installation, there's some confusion among new shooters. Many rifles come with two bipod studs - a forward and a rear one. Typically, you'd attach the bipod to the forward-most stud for stability and to leave the rear stud for a sling, ensuring the sling doesn't dig into your back when carried. A critical note on the Harris bipods: Ensure they're installed so that the legs fold forward. This positioning helps in absorbing recoil thanks to the springs on the legs. I've seen many mount them backwards for storage convenience, but that compromises the recoil absorption and can damage the bipod over time. Now, while many shooters get a Pod Lock to prevent rifle twist, my preference is different. I prefer just enough tension to maintain the rifle's position after adjusting. If you lock it entirely, it may not remain level after firing, especially on uneven terrains like mud or sand. The rifle's legs may sink, and you'll need to readjust. So, a little slack in the Pod Lock allows for minor adjustments without completely unlocking. A handy feature of the Pod Lock is its adjustable handle position. You can pull and rotate it to avoid any obstructions or potential damage when it's not in use. If you found this review helpful, please subscribe.

Great product, works as described, easy to manipulate from the prone position and is very sturdy.

This is the perfect solution to the knurled knob on Harris bipods. Works exactly as stated, easy to install, even looks OEM. I wonder why Harris doesn't put something like this on from the factory. You can't go wrong!

Easy installation, top-notch quality, and easily adjustable. Anyone who has a Harris swivel series bipod needs to purchase this, and it will save you time and hassle.

I was experiencing an issue with a Harris Series S bipod. I could not tighten the knurled nut to stiffen the cant of the rifle. So I ran across Pod-Loc. What a great idea in that product. Just switch out the knurled nut with the lever-activated Pod-Loc, and you can truly lock down the cant or quickly adjust the cant and rel-lock your settings down tight. Installation was a breeze, and the manufacturing quality of the product is excellent. On top of that, the price was reasonable, and availability good.

EXCELLENT PRODUCT! Once the kmw pod lock tightened, the bipod does not swivel at all. No need to get the extended handle version, the short handle is the perfect length. I would be worried about stripping the bolt on the extended handle version. This should be standard equipment on all Harris bipods. Recommend!

A great addition to your Harris Bipod! I bought two of them for both of my Harris Bipods, and could not be happier. Simple to put on, and they make cinching the nut down quickly so your Harris S Bipod does not move or loosening the nut so you can tilt your gun right or left, etc... It is a much more positive way of tightening or loosening the nut by easily manipulating a lever instead of trying to turn the nut with an Allen wrench. It should not be a problem to manipulate with gloves on either!

I wasn't sure if I should get the long or short... I chose the short one because I only have a 6-9," and I can't quite get enough torque on there, especially when prone. Having this short one is 1000% better than not having anything, but my personal preference will be that I'll only be buying the longs from now on.
