bipod installation

[midnite oil]

Hello

I have axiom that I purchased last year...the thing is unbelieveable.....just wish I could shoot everyday..
the axiom has a molded shoulder strap eye on the front of the fore end of the stock...it works great for a shoulder strap but a bipod will not work with this....

will it hurt anything to install a stud like you would on a shotgun? so that i can use my bipod when shooting
any certain length stud? or screw style if there are any different ones...

thanks for all replies

my bipod is a utg .....not as good as the harris....but i have to have a post or a weaver rail...
i could probably just get a small 2" weaver rail from wally world for just a few bucks....but i like the idea of a solid post..

I have a Caldwell bipod on my Emax and love it. It even has a sling stud on it so I can put a sling on it. The bipods are very nice to have a steady rest.

install a small weaver rail......bipod mounts solidly....all of $4

hello!

i am using a versapod.
instead of mountig the massiv block of plastic when you use the standard adapter i reduced the block, removed some plastic in the stock until it fits into the stock front.
now just the pin is sticking out of the stock:






i can still use the swivel for attaching a shoulderbelt, the only disatvantage is that ,if you have mounted something in front of the pin you have to remove it before you can release the bipod.
i put a thin felt slice on the pin so the bipod can slide less up and down the pin and to reduce noise.
with the short versa-pod you can also flip the bipod foreward, it does'nt distract cocking, the stirup is still free.(when telescope legs are slide back in)

Your photos never came out. That is a shame. That would have been interesting to see.
