Are you going for a tactical style bipod or something a bit wider? My favourite compromise is the Fortmeier type, super light, very stable and I must admit I have modelled something very similar with a wider footprint.

it will mount like the m200 bipod but will be modelled more on the LR accuracy bipod, which is quite chunky and short.

Short/low is good when you get used to it. I have been lucky enough to shoot with some people who are required to hit things at very long distances and the biggest lesson for me was shoot low, typically they were shooting with a fingers width at a push under the stock, something I still do to this day.
