Instead of hanging all manner of extraneous doodads on your gun, that will make psractical shooting harder, and get in the way of just about everything ..... how about learning to use one of these as a shooting aid? It costs less than 1/2 of your budget, and comes in handy when you need both hands and have to carry the gun.....

So, you spent several hundred on a gun and want to buy a cheap bi-pod to put on it? Look at a few and if you can buy a decent one or a very good one for a few bucks more, I might be inclined to save up a bit for the better one.
Anyway, Harris is the best out there but Shooters Ridge and I believe Caldwell both make bi-pods that supposed to be pretty good too. That's where I'd start looking.
Keep in mind that bi-pods come in various lengths so figure out how you will use it before you buy one. Prone? Sitting? A combo of both?
I use a Harris for going out west and it works well for both positions.

When the question is bi-pods, the answer is Harris.

I've had a Caldwell and it was sufficient for hunting, albeit a bit flimsy. I still use it occasionally. It was not adequate on my target gun, so I got a Harris. Big improvement! It is very stable, rock solid, and quicker to deploy. If all you can afford is a Caldwell and you aren't expecting to shoot groups, the Caldwell will be fine for hunting.
