The BSEV series does not have a sling stud mounted but you can put one in. The wood is thick enough and local gunsmith said it would not be a problem. Look at a Ruger CHARGER pistol - it has the same front end and comes with a Bipod. I chose not to put one on mine because I only to target shooting and have no need to sling a rifle. I have a half dozen quality leather slings but they are sitting on a shelf in my garage.

I was actually planning on buying the BSEV in the "93" and "17" Series for my .22 magnum and .17HMR rifles but decided I wanted a different look so chose the BTVS for the .22 Magnum.
