Harris Engineering – America’s Gold Standard in Rifle Bipods

Founded in 1979 in Barlow, Kentucky, USA, by engineer-inventor Gerald Harris, along with Margaret Harris and Susan Wilkerson, Harris Engineering revolutionised shooting stability and precision with its now-iconic Harris bipod. Originally born out of a patent for the modern rifle bipod, Harris quickly became the preferred choice for hunters, competitive shooters, and military users around the globe.

Crafted from high-strength aluminium and steel, Harris bipods offer a perfect balance of durability and lightweight performance. Their design features—such as spring-loaded adjustable legs, sling-swivel or Picatinny attachments, cant and swivel pivots, and quick-detach/Arca-style mounts—make them easily adaptable to uneven terrain and diverse shooting positions.

Formalito brings a wide selection of Harris Engineering’s precision shooting gear to South Africa, including:

  • Series S swivel-base bipods with Picatinny or M‑LOK attachments

  • Series 1A2 fixed-base bipods ideal for benchrest shooting

  • Various leg lengths (6‑9″, 9‑13″, 13.5‑27″) and rubber or spike feet options

  • Accessories and adapters for rifle-specific mounting solutions

With nearly five decades of continuous refinement and proudly manufactured in the USA, Harris Engineering continues to set the benchmark for accurate, reliable, and cost-effective rifle support in the field.
