[QUOTE="engineer40, post: 1162447, member: 90399"] I haven't used a bipod on the factory stocks. The Pro Varmint is a great stock. I like it a lot. I had to lightly dremel the mag well to get the magazine it fit in. Nothing major. If you get one and the mag doesn't fit, just compare the opening to the mag well on the factory stock. Just a word of caution; you won't be shoulder firing the rifle much if you put it into a Pro Varmint stock. Makes the rifle heavy. It can be done sure, but I at least wanted to give you that heads up. I don't think there is a convenient way to use a bipod on the factory stock because there is not a "stud". There is just a plastic loop where someone could attach a sling if they wanted. It would be easy to file/dremel that loop off and actually screw in a stud. If you were to do that, I would reinforce on the inside of the stock with some epoxy or JB Weld. Just a few inches around the inside of the stud threads. Bipods are nice but I shoot without them just as much. If you're not getting the Pro Varmint right away just use sand bags if you're shooting at the range or your rucksack if you're out in the field somewhere. I originally purchased a Millet rail for one of the rifles. I didn't like it at all. The EGW rails are over twice the price but they are well over twice the quality in this case. Plus they just released their 20moa rails if you wanted. If you are getting a magnum, don't be scared to thread the barrel yourself for a muzzle brake if you want one. I've done it a couple times now and they've turned out great. I think one of the pages of my updates in this thread I give the parts and links that I used. If not, I would be happy to post them. I mean that's half the fun of cheap guns is modifying them right? I've learned a ton from mine so far and haven't screwed anything up yet. Hope this helps! [/QUOTE]
