I really don't want a bipod... I'm a tripod fan, particularly the PSG-1 tripod.  IF I have to get a bipod, I want one that has pan/tilt/swivel.  GG&G doesn't pan.  Parker Hale and Versapod do.  Atlas doesn't 360 pan, but has 30deg, I think I remember.  Unfortunately, I am "lock in" to sling swivel attachments for a bipod.  The tripod I want can be attached or have a rest type fixture.

Nothing that I know of is going to be built for your 20mm, 50, or even 338, Most just use a standard camera tri-pod or spotter, telescope and convert them.
 
I doubt you will ever find a PSG tri-pod if you do buy two and I'll take one off your hands I have seen the Fal, Galil, RPK, PKM, LIGHT MACHINE GUN MOUNTs at Gunshows usually beat to crap but still a bit more solid than anything currently made. 
 
This is not exactly what you are looking for but looks to be quality.
 
 
The other style is just lacking the robust qualities of the HK.
 
Mostly all you ever see is complete crap. 

Try this:
