Comes loose as in the entire thing falls off the sling stud, or the swivel feature of the bipod gets loose despite tightening it?
Try the bipod pivot lock to get more leverage to tighten it down:

I agree with the others. Go cheap. I own a Harris HBRM-S which I use on my Savage. I have a Caldwell XLA for my 10/22s. They function nearly exactly the same. The Harris is obviously more robust and will take a beating out in the field better but I think it's overkill for the 10/22. I chose to spend a little more on the Caldwell (over the CVLIFE) as I was more familiar with the brand name and they make a pivot lock which I like. I would imagine the quality and materials are about the same between this and the CVLIFE one (as they're both probably made in China). In the 14 months I've had the Caldwell, I've only had one issue and that is the rubber padding that goes between the barrel and the bipod has fallen off twice. It's still sticky-ish so I just place it back on but someday I'm going to need to glue it or peel the other off and use some rubber strips from Home Depot.
