Hello I'm thinking to mount an Anschutz rail instead of the actual Picatinny for an budget upgrade of my factory synthetic stock.
This because a majority of the F-class FTR bipod are mostly availlable with Anschutz fitting.

I'm planning to make a pocket on the place of rail mount, but the inner of the forehand are empty, some sort of ribbing are formed for a minimum of rigidity.

A this point your advice for one newbee are to mount an external Anschutz rail screwed and glued with JB weld or make the inner of forehand full of epoxy resin and make an external pocket for the rail?

Thanks
 
Pictures of the stock, action, rail are needed or I can't offer an opinion.

Is the bottom of the stock level with a flat straight surface?

Do you have a mill? What tools and skills?

In general garage gunsmith projects like this have poor odds of success and may destroy the stock.
 
Thanks for the reply!

In thiss case the solution are to buy a new custom stock, the problem are that only custom stock for my rifle (Sabatti Tactical S) are crafted by RGM stock and the variety of choice doesn't satisfy me.
 
I kind of doubt that an F-class bipod on that rifle would produce different results than any decent bipod that could go on a swivel stud, easy to add rail adapter or front rest.

What are your goals? Group size and distance.

What caliber, are you reloading and what are getting now in terms of group size and distance.

it's the same story between a blonde girl and a brunette or redhead, what's the difference? they can all do the same "job" regardless of the hair color you like the most.

What are your goals? Group size and distance.
Yes my goals are make better group sizes at 600m on the paper.

What caliber, are you reloading and what are getting now in terms of group size and distance.
6,5x47 Lapua, yes I reload my rounds, now I shoot at 600m only on steel plate.
