The bipod I chose to install uses the front swivel screw as its anchor. Unfortunately, my swivel screw is installed too deep, thus making the bipod adaptor unusable.

The fix is for the swivel screw to sit up higher, i.e., to back it out of the stock by a turn or two. BUT, the stock is synthetic. So I don't know if the screw is actually screwed into the stock or glued into the stock.

Can anyone shed some light on this issue? Savage doesn't seem to want to answer this question.

Thanks for any help, John
