bipod on a 10/22

[coldsmoke308]

how do u go about installing a bipod on a 10/22 w/o drilling a hole in the stock for a swivel stud? bipod doesn't fit on the barrel band.

duck tape, or get one of those crappy clamp on barrel style bipod. i suggest just driklling the stock.

just drill it, only a small hole for a swivel mount. Just take a deep breath and don't think about what you paid for the item you are now drilling in to

Factory stocks are super cheap to come by anyway...there's always lots on ebay for around $10-20. You can always get a replacement if you screw up.

Get a cheap stock and drill that one and keep your original in new condition.

Uncle Mikes part # 1461-2 is made for 10/22 rifles (and others). It contains two normal wood screw style studs as well as a blade style stud that fits on the barrel band. The kit also contains two 1" swivels.

The barrel band is useless, and in my 10/22 experience, actually made the accuracy WORSE.

Essentially, you are altering barrel harmonics - a floated barrel will perform more consistently.

Ditch the barrel band. Better yet, ditch the barrel and buy a Green Mountain or equivalent .920 barrel. You'd be surprised how much more accurate they are.
