Hey all,

I was wondering if anyone has installed a bottom rail on their rifle, for per-se the Atlas Accu-Shot bi-pod? I am thinking of having this done as I really like the looks of those bi-pods as well as the functions for cant and pan; and since I have one of their rear mono-pods already on my rifle, it would be nice to have a matching bi-pod. Also does anyone know if doing this (having a bottom rail installed) will affect accuracy?

I am not worried so much about accuracy right now though, as I am about as stated above - accuracy, and also what will it cost to have a smith to install something like the necessary component?

Also right now, it is a Savage model 10 with the factory "Accu-stock" on the rifle.

This is rail I am thinking of installing:

Get appropriate length screws and drill into the aluminum frame of the accustock and through the plastic stock itself. Cut threads into accustock and install.

As long as nothing touches the barrel you will be fine.
 
I've been using the holes for the swivels with the atlas 1913 rail. Only I couldn't find any screws that didn't expose some of the head and leave me only able to use 2 different sections of rail.
hardware store for the screws as none are included with the product and some blue loctite for peace of mind.

I'm planning on sending it to ATRS and having them inlet the stock and bed the rail directly in it for a much cleaner and reliable finished product.
As far as price contact them on that one.

If it were me I'd just get machine screws and tap the aluminum in the stock for whatever screw size you choose. That way you could have your screws flush with the aluminum bedding block.
