Bipods??????
Bipods??????
Thinking about getting a bipod for my 91/30. Seen the clamp on and the sling hole mounts on line. Who uses one and what do you recommend?
7.62X54R, when you have to reach out and touch someone.

Learn to shoot prone properly, and skip the add ons.
“Freedom is the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.” George Orwell, English novelist, essayist, and critic, 1903-1950
Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
C. S. Lewis

Yep, no need to hang crap off the end of your weapon, a sandbag is a good rest when shooting prone or bench, a sandbag does not scratch up the rifle or make noise.
Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.
Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft.

Looking for something to shoot bench. Will look into the sandbags.

Re: Bipods??????
The best positioning for a rest is just forward of the magazine. That affects the barrel the least.

Re: Bipods??????
I found out today shooting with a bipod in an indoor range is not advised, at least if you're sitting in a chair. Because the shelf before you is narrow -- maybe a foot or so -- it's easy for a bipod to slip off. You're adjusting your sling, people behind you are talking to you, you're adjusting your chair and your stance. With a loaded Mosin, slipping off can be a catastrophe. Either use a sandbag, fire from a prone position, or get to an outdoor range. From here on out, I'm leaving the bipod at home, at least when I'm indoors.

Where can you find the sling mounts?
