I'm somewhat new to bolt guns and I'm looking to add a small section of rail estate to the fore end of my 700. I have a Harris w/ built in Larue mount that I want to be able to swap from another rifle (AR-type, with rail). What are you guys using to do this? Thanks in advance.

I like the Seekins Precision SRS its especially nice if you have a HS or a McMillan stock.

I've got the SRS on three of my McMillans, and I love them. They work great, and when mounted right (and bedded with a touch of Marinetex, etc.), they're as strong as iron.
Glen offers top-notch stuff!

You may have to add a screw, I believe they both require two sling studs.

Drill a hole from the bottom of your stock, into the barrel channel. If your stock has the aluminum insert in it make sure you use the popper drill size and you can tap the aluminum in your stock. If not, you can insert whats called a T nut in the barrel chanel.

I'm not sure of the construction of your stock, but yes, that should be all you have to do. I have the same bipod and mount that you have, and I just used a spare rail to mine. The holes didn't line up, so I just drilled a smaller pilot hole and used a wood screw in my fiberglass stock.

I'm pretty sure there isn't an aluminum insert in the stock. I haven't taken it off yet, but it's the plain-jain Hogue overmold rubber stock that goes on the SPS Tactical rifles.
Is the T-nut included in the Seekins kit?

We dont supply the T nuts, but any hardware store has them for around 2$, Even our wallmart has them

I suggest stainless steel T-nuts. Most are cad plated and subject to rusting due the "quality" of the plating. Check out a marine supply store or a good hardware store.
