I want to add stability and Quick Release functionality to my Harris S25c Bipod by putting an accessory pic rail on the forearm of my Tikka T3x and then adding a pic rail QR adapter to the Harris. Does anyone have experience doing this and can recommend a pic rail that will work and that I can find in Canada (or online that will deliver to Canada hassle-free)? I would like to retain the function of my swivel stud if possible. I haven't bought the QR pic rail adapter yet either, so I'd welcome suggestions on that as well.
Need Help Finding a Forearm Picatinny Rail for QR Mounting of Bipod

Tikka has two threaded collars in the forestock (at least the varmint does). I was thinking I might get a chunk of rail, drill it out to that spacing and just bolt it on the existing holes. You could use a longer sling stud as the front bolt.
That's my thought on the slickest way to do it. Cost is about the same as a stud to rail adaptor.
If I decide to go ahead I'll update it. But I'm going to follow this thread for any other ideas too.

Brad243 Pulling up this way old thread and wondering, did you in fact end up doing this with your Tikka? If so, any guidance on which exact longer rail you found? Thanks

Area 419 make a pic rail that uses the sling stud holes. They also make a universal arca rail as well if you wanted to go that route

Thanks. I've seen both those, as well as the Salmon River Solutions Hunter rail with arca and a bit of pic rail. Was wondering about just the longer pic rail mounting with custom holes drilled, if anyone has done that specifically with the Tikka T3X, Lite in my case, which rail they may have found actually available in Canada.
