    What Type Of Forend Rail Does The Savage 12 FT-R Have ??

    Is the built in Aluminum rail on a Savage Model 12 FT-R in .308 an M-LOK rail? I've had trouble finding attachments for this rail because it doesn't appear to be any specific standard. I want to get a nice bipod for it, however I want to be assured it will fit before I commit to $$$$.

    I really like this Magpul Bipod, and while it looks like it will fit in the M-LOK configuration, I'm not sure. (The A.R.M.S. 17 S Style also looks like it will fit). I don't understand why Savage put this kind of oddball rail on this rifle? For those of you shooting a stock Savage 12 FT-R, what type of bipod are you running? Thanks in advance.

    NO, there is no attachment rail on the stock. It’s a laminate stock & uses the standard sling stud for the bipod. The M-Lok bipod you want won’t work on it. If you want the Magpul Bipod, this one will work. https://www.amazon.com/Magpul-Rifle-...2s9dHJ1ZQ&th=1

    No. It has a rail, and does NOT use a standard sling swivel.

    That is refereed to as a UTI rail, same as an Anschutz. accessory rail.

    Also known as an Atlas rail. You can buy 3 - 5 -and 7 slot picatinny rail sections that attach to it.
    I have a few of them mounted on the Atlas rails on my Choate Tactical stocks.

    Yes, I’m sorry. Didn’t realize they were putting those in. Yeah, the Anschuts T-rail. BLAH! About the worst of the rails, as far as supporting rails/adapters for it. Don’t know why they went with those.

    You need one of these or the like, and then you can use the Magpul Picatinny Bipod.

    I like my Anschutz Rails.
    The Dunning-Kruger effect is alive and well.

    They used an Anschutz rail because there are more accessories that fit it than any other.
