If the sling stud goes into metal you're good to go. If it screws into wood, plastic or something without a nut on the backside they will pull through at the worst time. If it has something like an anshutz T- slot, they make good sling stud adapters. If you use something other than a harris style then looking at a a Pic or maybe a spigot is the way to go. The tactical guys like the ACRA mounts. But that crap gets stupid crazy pricewise
