I also use the BT46 LW-17. Nice bipod, but what you'd expect for the heavy price. If you're shooting off a hard surface these newer Atlas' are the bee's knees. Older models, which I think they still sell (and Chinese knock-off's) have rubber feet that are free to rotate. When you load them up for the shot they crawl forward on the bench.
The Magpul bipod is cheap and cheerful but sits collecting dust. It's just too bulky when folded and no quick detach.
The Harris has a lot going for it and they are quick to deploy. I like to take my bipods on/off regularly so while it's fiddly you get good at screwing it up and finding the stud for the attaching teeth quickly in the dark. I also have a LaRue quick detach for the Harris stud but that just makes it bulkier.
I have seen but not used the GG&G mount. I hear the Chinese clones are pretty good. Unlike other more important parts of the gun a bipod is just there to steady the rifle so it does not have to be ultra-precision-machined. This is why clones might be an option, and why Atlas charges way too much.
If you don't care about quick detach then this might interest you. Badger have made a low profile attachment device that means you can do away with the bulky Harris mounting plate. They make one specifically for MLOK. Pictures on Google if you want to see what it looks like. https://www.badgerordnance.com/tactical-...-mlok.html
