Dumb question

[JimFromTN]

I got in my choate tactical stock yestarday for my savage 110 and it comes with a rail on the bottom for a bipod. The peice that slides down the rail that the bipod attaches to does not have anyway to tighten to the rail so it does no slip. Is this the way it is suppose to work or am I missing something? Is it designed so that the bipod is carried separately and then just slide it on when you need it?

The rail itself is designed for a bipod that attaches directly to it. Just asking but do you need the rail? If not take it off and use the swivel studs. Unless you want to spend $250 to $300 for an Atlas bipod or one that attaches to an AR.

The rail is a sliding rail not a picatinny rail. The stock is inletted for the rail so it probably wouldn't look all that good if I removed the rail. The part that slides in the rail has a swivel stud on it. I have done a little more asking around and apparently when you tighten the bipod down to the stud, it tightens the whole thing down to the rail. I have also found that I can buy another adapter that has a wing nut on it to tighten it down to the rail that way.

Oh ok. I wasn't familiar with that stock but I figured it would be like others...my bad.
