I just got an incredible deal on a tikka t3,the only problem is the front swivel stud is loose.I tried to mount my bipod but it just pulls the stud out.The stock is synthetic.Any ideas on what I can use to hold it in place?I don`t really want to drill another hole but if that is my only option then I guess I will have too.

What you may have to do is drill through the stock (with the barrelled action out of course) and replace the screw stud with a machine style stud with nut.

You could also get some 5 minute epoxy and dab some on the screw part and in the hole. Let it sit and it will be permanent. If you want to remove it, then the previous method is the way.
My Tikka T3 used a tread swivel stud that screws into a brass insert in the synthetic stock.
If you can not get a replacement insert ( I am sure it is metric), then why not pick up a Butler Creek Swivel and Nut. Then glue the nut in place of the bass insert using JB Weld or something similar.
