Being the a big feller like you say, I'd bet the 27" is not tall enough for sitting unless you like being hunched over a lot.
I am a little worried about that. I have a champion i paid like $40 for and i think its only like 23inches and I'm pretty hunched over. I'm 6ft6 so i guess i could try it and if I'm too tall return it. Last year i used the Caldwell closed up for prone cause the few times i was able to get low enough with it fully extended it was very wobbly.
Ive also got a set of primos sitting sticks that seem very sturdy but never shot off them and my buddy lost them at his house when he used them for coyote hunting. Im wondering if something like that would be steady enough for long range shots? Maybe bog pod or something?
I think it depends on how long of a shot you're taking and how much you can practice. I personally don't like the cant because it really doesn't help that much to track a running predator but it sure can screw up a long shot. I run a fixed bipod most of the time and back that up with my Primos sitting/standing sticks. That way I can traverse easy enough during normal stands but I can use the bipod if the situation is right. If you practice enough with your shooting sticks you can shoot some long shots.

This coyote was shot off of the Primos sitting/standing sticks at 287 yards.
