I take it that they finally changed the end of the shroud to be able to add an ldc? If so, Great!!! Now, don't bother with a stud mounted bipod. Not on such a fine gun. Pony up and put a short Picatinny on it and pick up a good bipod. It makes a Huge difference. All the stud mounted bipods put a LOT of stress on the stock. Not to mention torque stresses that will askue the accuracy at longer ranges.
