Got a Begera B14 6.5 Creedmore and I'm wanting to put an Atlas bipod on it, but there are two swivel studs, how to you mount a pic rail there?
 
Thank you for the link, that got me to looking in the right direction.

Brownells has two different sizes (link below), I'm at work so I can't measure the distance between the studs, but I will when I get home and see how it works out, more to follow.

Update-I called Begara and they measured the studs for me, 3" so you will need the 4" rail and that is what I ordered.

I actually have that one coming in tomorrow and I'm going to compare them, I was told the Area 419 would require some drilling of the stock so I will have to wait and see if that is true.

Area 419 also makes a rail that I think is longer and more adjustable than the B&T, or similar.
 
The area419 rail (https://www.area419.com/product/imroved-bipod-rail-ibr-straight/) should not require any drilling. It has a long slot as well as holes that will line up with the locations on the current bipod studs. You'd have to get extremely unlucky for that setup to not line up with the holes already in your stock.

  • Accommodates anywhere from 1.5″ – 3.475″ center on center screw hole spacing. If you are closer to the 1.5″ spacing, we do not suggest using the flush cup mount for carrying the rifle, it will just have too much leverage and may tear the thread insert out of the stock.:
 
419 rail all day long, tried Atlas rail and too short, the 419 worked perfectly and provided the space I wanted, Kornface13 was spot on. Here are some pics to give you some ideas.

Hello AWMP,

Thank you very much for posting how it worked out for you. That looks like it fits the bill perfectly. Area419 is about to get a new customer. I am going to order the same thing for my HMR .300 too.

Best regards,
