How did you install the picatinny rail?
Did you use recessed nuts in the stock and machine screws from the rail end?
Or wood screws?
For my bipod, I bought a short (plastic it turns out) length of picatinny rail that came with flat nut plates. The nut plates need to be recessed very deeply, because the screws are short and the stock relatively thick.
Before I gouge deep cavities I thought I’d check with you guys for possible alternatives.

Ville just needs to tape a dremmel to a glass of whiskey then he can be as precise as a CNC

Of course i don’t.
It can Ville but you have to be careful. A steady hand which of course you don’t have.
But that’s unfair ! You have the tooling needed to carve such nice recesses with. Can’t be done with a mere Dremel. Or ??
This is the way we do it at Talontunes…

+ 1 for Wood Screws. I use an Uncle Mike´s swivel stud (the wood screw one, of course) on the front hole. That way you can attach a sling if you want – without some fancy adapters. A word of advice : Ditch that polymere/plastic rail and get a proper one in aluminium, like the Atlas/BT rail.

I fixed mine in place with wood screws. They hold just fine and do a lot less damage to the stock.

I used hex nuts on mine as I didn’t want to use screws. Use hex nuts and dremmel out a small cavity for nut to fit in.

Easily ! And even more precise if needed.
