Sling stud picatinny adapter

[Simplesam]

Hey everybody,

Picking up a Tikka T1X this weekend and I’m wondering how I can attach my LRA bipod to the factory stock. What are my options and where can I get one?

Thanks
Sam

The Caldwell adapters work well.

Something like that.

Those only attach by the stud correct? Would there be a wiggle to the rail still or would drilling a hole in the stock for a second screw be a better option?

I found quite a bit of wiggle room and very poor fit on the Tikka. So much so that I made this, it works and looks way better:

I see you have a wood stock, would it be ok to drill into synthetic stock?

I recently put one of the Caldwell adapters on my CZ452 and was impressed at how well it tightens up. If the synthetic stock is solid, you can add a second screw using something like this: https://www.gobigtactical.ca/online...-BT1517-Rail-Mounting-Fastener-Set-p120402640.

I have both a wood and synthetic T3 stock. On the synthetic stock it depends where you drill for the screw. If memory serves me correctly I threaded the rail and used a machine screw from the inside of the stock on my synthetic T3. Ill check when i get home tonight.

Might try the atlas thing so long as the inside part does not contact the barrel

The caldwell does not need any other ### bolts or screws, takes a few minutes to install and remove and is very solid.

It's got a rubber gasket that compresses and provides friction between the adapter and the stock and there is a cross bolt that goes through the sling stud hole and locks one half of the system while the other half is tightened on with two machine screws that push against the section that is locked into the stud and tightens things nice and snug.

I prefer the ### bolts.

I prefer the ### bolts.

They were the best 80's band ever.
