Need some help with model 10 FCP McMillan measurements.

So I have a model 10 McMillan on order, but it looks like it is going to take a couple of weeks to arrive. In the mean time I am shopping around for a bipod. I have pretty much settled on the Atlas BT10-LW17 (http://www.accu-shot.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=24&products_id=68). My main question is can somebody take a measurement between the two sling studs on the forearm of the stock, so I can figure out which length rail I should get (3.5" or 4") Also, If anybody has mounted one of these bipods on their rifles I may have some other questions for ya.

I have a Mcmillan A3 stock and the front studs are 3" on center. I just put an Atlas on mine and used the BT17 rail that will work on 2.2 to 3.5" spacing.

You will love the Atlas.

No. If it already has 2 sling studs you will only need two 10-32 screws to secure the rail. I used black button head allen screws from a local hardware store.
