[QUOTE="CA48, post: 1495181, member: 21446"] I have carried a few buddies rifles set up like this and have not noticed the bi pod digging into my back. But haven't carried one of these set up very far. I doubt you will have any issues because I have carried rifles where the sling mounts to the bottom of the bi pod and that doesn't even dig into my back. Something else worth mentioning with the atlas rails with a sling stud built in is that you will have to use an atlas bi pod or a similar one for it to be functional. My Harris QD bipod would not work with this rail as the throw lever to lock the swivel down and the frame that holds the legs where they pivot is to bulky and would cover that area of the rail. The atlas bi pods are very compact at the pivot area around the legs and allow you room to connect a sling. To be clear my Harris will attach to the rail you just can't attach the sling with it. On my last build to avoid this I had the smith mount an atlas rail w/o a stud then mount a flush cup an inch behind the rail but my Harris still covers the cup where I can't mount my sling. Although I always have my sling mounted to the cups on the side of my rifle anyway so it's not a big deal but I learned what not to do on that build. [/QUOTE]
