I guess I didn't really need to start a new topic for this but I wanted to be sure and lure in Wiley E.

Say...Wiley, I recall you talking about a calling gun in a different area of the forum and you mentioned using a Rugar 22-250.
Is this with a synthetic stock or not?
If it is....tell me how you fastened your bipod to that rifle.
If it's like my Rugar M-77 Mark II it doesn't have a swivel stud, it has a Ushaped clip that takes it's place.
I refuse to use that Barrel Clamp adapter they have out.

Talk to me buddy.....

Riverrunner, I do not shoot a Ruger. I have 3, .22/250s. A new Remington Sendero (sp?), a Sako, and a Remington 700. They all have swivel studs. Wiley E
 
River runner if you really want a swivel set up just yank that silly U shaped thingy off ofthere and drill and epoxy yourself a swivel stud in your fore end.
 
RR, Here you go. Go to the sporting good store and get yourself a threaded post with a nut on it. They make them. Maybe $3.99.

Pull the barrel/action off the gun. The Ruger stock is hollow on the underside so the nut can be screwed on and have plenty of clearance below the barrel.

Put a bit of lock tite on the threads before you tighten it down. I drilled mine approximately 2" back from factory D ring swivel. Maybe about 1/2" in front of the foremost screw that is embedded in the stock.

Here is a picture, that will be easier. It is a bit hard to see cause the bipod is on and I aint taking my gun apart for you...

See if this helps. R.

Dang, I think I just noticed blood on my gun. Wonder how that could have happened??

Another thing, RR. When you buy the threaded post, all of them I have bought are too long. Just thread the nut all the way on and then cut it too the right length with a hack saw. Unthread the bold and the threads aren't messed up.. R.
 
ya know?????...Rob, when I was looking at your pictures for doing the camo job I noticed that you had your bipod where I wanted MINE.
Nice pod by the way...looks just like mine
