The PoleCat has a protective rubber over-molded yoke for a slip-resistant gun rest that won't harm your gun's finish. Don't count on your ability to make an accurate off-hand shot at the moment of truth. For a responsible, one-shot kill, depend on Stoney Point's PoleCat telescoping bipods. They provide the rigid, steady support of an attached bipod with the added benefits of versatility, portability, and flexibility. Stoney Point bipods will NOT alter the gun's accuracy or damage the firearm as attached bipods can when shooting heavy-recoiling guns. Compact Hunter - Shoot from high-prone, sitting, or kneeling positions. Easily packed for hunts when space and weight count. Also a good choice for young shooters. Three-section legs telescope from 17" to 38". 10 ounces.
