Spartan Precision Javelin Bipod, pricey but it was my favorite gear purchase I made last year.

I use Harris 9-13" SLM's. There is no perfect bipod, each is a significant compromise IME. There are bipods I like the features of a little more, but none are under $300.
I also have a Harris 9-13" bipod. I can honestly say I've only actually used it to shoot a game a handful of times over the last 20-25 years. A taller version with a pivoting head would be much more practical. I usually end up using my pack as a rest.

Harris pivoting bipod that can be used while sitting. I've shot several with this setup and really like it.

Same bipod, and same frequency, in fact I'm thinking of removing it as most of my shots are taken off my quads sticks out to 200 yards.

I have a Swagger 29" model. I used last year in NM and liked it pretty well. It pivots, flexes, and the legs are independently adjustable.
Had this though didn't like the subtle (sometimes not so subtle) twang of the spring(s) noise when setting for the shot and the excess weight:
Then reversed the weight for this type though found I never made time to retrieve the sticks from the side of my pack or atop/below my shoulder strap hip-pack:
Now, as I use a single trek pole while hiking / hunting, it works good as a single shooting stick.

I HIGHLY recommend Snipepod. They are lightweight adjustable and easy to use. While looking through the Meateater book that Rinella is also a big fan. The only problem is that their website really sucks because they are a mom and pops company.

I used the StealthpodX this year. https://stealthpodx.com/ There are very few stock-mounted bipods that are tall enough to shoot over most brush. The Stealthpod is spendy, but slick. My only complaint is that they are a little clumsy to haul around - when I was deer hunting this year I pretty much had to set my gun and Stealthpod down every time I wanted to glass.
Before the StealthpodX I was using two 48" wooden dowels from Lowes bolted together with a nylon locking washer. Super light weight and tall enough for most situations.

It's so cool to see lever actions still getting used! Some of my best memories were with a borrowed Marlin 44 mag lever gun
