New Savage Stealth Evo 338 user

[gumby4359]

Hi all!

I'm new to long range shooting and have put together a nice rifle to begin. I have not completed my "build". So far I have:

1. Savage Stealth Evolution 338 LM
2. Nightforce NXS 8-32x56 optic
3. M-LOK 5 rail mounted onto Magpul PRS stock (for monopod)

I want to mount an Atlas bipod but cannot find a swivel stud adapter/rail replacement for the Stealth Evo (GGG makes an adapter but will not work for the Stealth Evo). There are two threaded holes in front and behind the swivel stud that I'd like to install a rail onto. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Still want:

1. Swivel stud to rail conversion for Atlas bipod installation
2. Recommended bipod extended length
3. Recommended monopod length

I'm glad I joined this forum and look forward to future discussions, stories, etc.

KO

Can you provide a picture of the bottom of the forend? Are the slots on the bottom "vents" or are they M-lock dimensions? Do you want to adapt from sling stud to picitinni or do you want to replace the stud with a rail? :(

I want to replace the swivel stud and mount a picatinny rail so that I can mount an Atlas bipod. I've seen an adapter where the picatinny rail has a hole where the swivel stud protrudes through (no removal of swivel stud required) and one or two screws secures the rail. Please see - https://www.amazon.com/Savage-110BA-Bipod-Adapter-GGG-1091/dp/B013XRSUZS.

I will upload a pic of the bottom of the fore-end soon.

Thanks.

Also, the bottom does not have an M-LOK slot. The fore-end, where the swivel stud is located, is solid and has the swivel stud with two threaded holes for and aft of the stud.

I cannot upload pictures from my computer. I only have the option to insert a URL to a picture. Say's only "Team Savage" users can upload pics from a PC. Ideas?

I found a pic online (https://www.gunauction.com/buy/14509421).

The distance between the two threaded holes, near the swivel stud, is 1 9/16" from center to center.

I would suggest getting a short piece of rail that would fit and drill out for sling stud and great choice for long range I shoot a stealth in 338 lapua also fairly new to long range have managed to ring my 2 foot gong at just over a mile and hope to break the 2 kilometer mark this summer I know the rifle can do it I need skills for reading the wind at those ranges but not complaining its the journey as I continue to be more proficient at longer ranges it is the best hobby I have ever had and always challenges you every time you go out.
