I have a 10/22 with the barrel band at the front. I really don`t want to screw a stud into the wood, where do I find something like this:

Uncle Mikes sells a swivel kit that has a fore end adapter for the 10/22 carbine barrel band.
You DO NOT want to attach a bipod to a barrel band sling stud though.
It'll be loose and wobble all over, marking up your nice wood stock in the process.
 
wham-o is correct as usual. You can try ebay and find a barrel band with a small picitinny rail on the bottom however. I drill mine though. Just be sure its centered.

Yes after posting this, I`m like: "that can`t work". My bipod seat needs to sit flat again`st the stock. I really hate to drill into the stock, but if I need to I will I guess. I just thought after looking at it: Is there something that attaches to that barrel band"??? Who is this "Uncle Mikes"??
 
You have a Harris style bipod. I would get one of the studs you were looking at and relieve a bit of metal off the inside of the band to make it fit snug. You can also buy a take off wood or synthetic stock on the EE for a few bucks and experiment with it. I bought a number of the standard barrels, stocks and bands over the years for projects like you are thinking about.
 
The Harris bipod will fit in the stud in the picture if you want a new barrel and synthetic stock send me a reply.
 
I would need one of these to attach to that picanny rail you guys have mentioned.

That barrel band with the rail was $50 plus whatever this piece would be.....I might as well drill the dreaded hole I didn`t want to. I could go buy a standard stock on the EE for $25-$40 if I ever wanted to get rid of the hole for the stud. Nothing is easy lol.
