Q:
Does anyone have a bi-pod for a Tikka T3? Can it be mounted and still use a sling? What is a good brand?

I use a harris on my .243 Tikka when varmint hunting, take it off when hunting other game as it adds weight and slows down my off hand shooting ability in the field......
I have a Harris and a brand x copy of a Harris. Both of mine grasp the front sling swivel stud on the stock forend and have a provision for the catch on the sling to in turn grasp a tab on the bipod. Idahooutoors is right about the weight, plus if you tried to leave the bipod attached it would probably dig into your shoulder and back. I like the Harris (it's more $$$) best but both do the same function. FWIW, I usually don't use a bipod.
I had a Harris Bipod. it was sready enough ,but the extra weight made the gun awkward to carry so I took it off. A sling will work good from a sitting or prone position or most others for that matter.
Id recomend a harris bipod over almost any other brand I have a shooters ridge right now and the thing keeps falling apart on me.
If you get one don't go cheap. As the previous posts have mentioned, Harris is a quality manufacturer.
Everyone has mentioned getting a quality bi-pod like Harris. I have a Harris bi-pod that I have used for over 40 years. You get what you pay for.
