I know a big majority of people nowadays thinks that 45* is absolutely necessary for shooting off a bipod. While I do think it's handy to have the option I like having pan and cant more so. Upon searching for a nice bipod with pan and cant ability that wouldn't be so expensive I came across the Magpul bipod. For $100 you get a very very good quality bipod that has a pretty good amount of pan and cant and is quite lightweight and a compact size. Surprised more people don't seem to use them. I'm going to be installing it on my EVOL Tac.
