    Isnt that what most bipods are? Just screw them onto the swivel stud and off again in a matter or seconds.

    There are ones that slide over the barrel and clamp on but can't imagine his in good of accuracy if your pushing the weight onto the barrel.
    The swivel stud is the way to go and you can attached and disconnect it in a matter of seconds.

    Well there's Atlas style where you put a bit of picatinny rail where the swivel stud is and then use an Atlas bi-pod with a quick release attachment. That's really quick but expensive.

    There's the harris type which just attach and detach from swivel stud. Not as expensive or as quick.

    Then there's the ones that snap onto the barrel. Cheap and quick but I wouldn't touch one myself as the barrel ends up supporting the rifles weight.

    For supper cheap just make something up at home.

    if it is only for zeroimg get a rifle rest best way to keep a rifle steady. stay away from bipods that clip on to the
    barrel if you have a floating barrel it will effect the flight of the bullet.

    Anything clipped on to the barrel will affect barrel harmonics. Not a good thing in general as a free floating barrel without any weight hanging of it flexes freely and will let a bullet fly true if the barrel is of sound construction.

    I opted for a versapod so I could switch between rifles easily. Check them upon online. There is no doubt that its quick to switch but jury is still on if they are worth the cost.
