[QUOTE="FearNoWind, post: 1136806, member: 50867"] My questions are: 1. how hard will it be to add another stud for the bipod / and where can I get instructions on how to do it. Adding a stud to the stock, if it's necessary (and it usually isn't) is fairly simple. Depending of course on what type of stud you select, the type of material the stock is made of and where on the stock you intend to install it. You will need a lower helix angle drill bit for synthetic stock. If you select a threaded stud (one that threads directly into the stock material - not a good idea for a synthetic stock - you'll need a hole slightly smaller than the stud's thread diameter. Much the dame as screwing a couple pieces of wood together. If you select a threaded stud that includes a threaded "nut" you'll need one size hole for the stud's threaded shaft and a slightly larger hole - drilled from the opposite side - for the "nut". Just make sure you don't do any drilling until the barrel and action are removed and[B] always use a drill press.[/B] You can buy studs that snap into metal sleeves. The metal sleeves usually screw into the stock material and the studs snap into them for easy attachment or removal of the sling or other accessory that might be attached to the stud. These work well for slings but I wouldn't recommend them or mounting a bipod. 2. I have seen what looks like a miniature picatinny rail some are mounted to . what is the advantage of those. The rail mounted adapters allow you to snap the bipod on or off of the stock and, IMO, provide a firmer base for securing the bipod to the rifle because you don't have to overcome rifle stock contour variations. I make my own adapters so I don't use them - I don't want to add that weight to my rifle. You can adapt any bipod to a picatinny rail connector. 3. what is the best position on the stock for the bi pod stud? You'll get a lot of different opinions on that question. My own preference is the further foward I can mount the bipod the better. 4. where is the best place to buy a bi pod? Wherever you can find the one you want at the lowest cost. 5. is atlas better than Harris? Matter of opinion. I like the Harris ....
