I have a moison nagant m91/30 and I still have the original soft wood stock on it. Would mounting this bipod on a swivel stud still give me a sturdy mount even though it would be on a soft wood stock?

I really dont know. Its very sturdy on the rail system and I would trust the swivel stud on my guns but none of them are wood.

If your swivel stud goes through the stock and is a nut/stud combo, I think you would be ok. If your stud is a wood screw type, i probably wouldn't use this adapter. My Savage 220 has a bolt swivel stud with a locking nut. It holds well. I would have no issue using this mount on a wood stock. The bi-pod is solid. It is perfect for bench shooting my 20ga slug gun. Sighting the gun in was a breeze with the bi-pod.

First off I'd have to say your weakest link is the swivel stud in that soft wood stock. If the stud is securely in the wood stock and we are not talking about wood as soft as balsam wood then you should be okay. Check out this link and look at the guy's modded gun about three-quarters down the blog. http://www.gunandgame.com/forums/mosin-nagant/106320-pics-your-mosin-nagant-mods-what-you-have-where-you-got.html Hope this helps.

You need a sling stud on your rifle, the bipod comes with an adapter that will connect to it if you have one. Otherwise this bipod in my opinion, is best suited to mount on a picatinny rail. From what I know about a Mosin Nagant M91/30 you may not have the ideal platform to work with bipod shooting. Hope this helps.

Hi, the Harris bipod at the link you sent is a non-swiveling model. The swivel (which rocks from side to side as opposed to turning from side to side) allows the bipod to sit on uneven ground and you can still hold the rifle level. The swivel on the swivel model is spring loaded, but it is easy to position the rifle so you're looking through the scope with the cross hairs vertical. If you're just going to use the bipod at the range, like shooting from a bench, you don't need the swivel model. If you'll be out in the field and shooting from sloping ground, the swivel helps.

Jeremiah, your Harris bipod should attach to the front swivel post on your rifle's stock and in turn the sling will attach to the mount built into the bipod

The bipod will not attach to the swivel stud directly you will need to also purchase the ultimate arms sling swivel stud to 5 slot weaver mount. Its also available here on Amazon. Its easy to install and you will love the Atlas bipod I have several and use them regularly. I have tried them all and this is the best for the price range. Hope this helps.

Bipod attaches to your front sling swivel stud if your rifle has one that is standardized. If your rifle has the stud or a place for one to be screwed in it should work fine from the bench. The only caveat would be bench height as the minimum height for the legs is like 9 inches. That might position your rifle a bit high for a taller shooting station but mine works just fine from standard benches at our range.

That is the exact rifle I have, it worked great for that application... I used it to mount a forward grip, but I imagine a bipod would work just as well...

When I sill had the wood stock on my 10/22, I used one of these and it fit perfectly. I used it for a light and sling with no issues.

Yes it will fit the sling stud, but as for following a running target, it really depends how far away your target is. If doing prairie dogs or coyotes at 300-400 yds. then I think you're fine. If you are trying to nail a running white tail inside a 100 yds., then I don't think you want to be on any bipod at that point. As someone else pointed out in another review, the 'swivel' action is side-to-side (for uneven terrain), not rotational. So I guess the shortest most accurate answer is yes, it will fit your gun, and no, it is not designed as a rotational swivel to allow following running targets.

If you have either a picatinny rail or a swivel stud on the forend of your rifle it will work. However, for rifles with heavier recoil, where you "tension" the bipod by leaning in to the rifle, you may want a more heavy duty bipod. If you are just looking for a cheap bipod to see if you like them, this is a good choice. If you are looking for one that will last under heavy use and abuse that is more stable for accuracy, look at spending a bit more for a Harris or something equivalent.

Hi, yes, normal mounting requires a swivel stud for mounting. If your firearm doesn't have a swivel stud you can purchase a pair and install them yourself, they aren't difficult. Check YouTube, there are a few instruction videos. Hope this helps.

The foregrip wood was very thin on my Marlin and there was no clearence for a nut to secure my swivel, it necessitated a tube mount. If that isn't a concern for your application then one should work as well as the other. Gene

Well, I would say that I chose this model because of the 3 screw point mounting. I just figured it would hold better than the 2 screw wooden mount. But if you like the cosmetics of the wood over the steel, then I would say as long as you hit a stud, you should be fine.

If your bipod is equipped for a picintinny rail you will need the adapter to fit over the swivel to convert to your bipod. I would not use a barrel mount on your particular rifle.

Yes it will work on a swivel stud bi pod. UTG is same model I used. I used the long one in forend because I didn't use second one. It all depends on how deep the stock will allow. But they will work for a bipod application.

I mounted mine just as you see in the photo. No problem at all. I am loading 9mm ( and soon .357) with it and have had smooth operation and good success.

The small white and black inlay is something the factory does for looks. It's not for a swivel. You will need to pre drill a hole for the swivel screw. That's how all swivels are installed. I did it on my marlin 30-30 and it looks good and after a few hunting trips I'm glad I did it. Sling swivels are awesome. My buddy bought a sling than just wraps around the but of the stock. He was fighting it the whole time. Just buy the swivels and a nice sling. After you use it you won't be able to imagine you rifle without it. Hope this helps.
