I am currious if I could mount a sling to my RedWolf. Being as the gun is bottle fed, not sure really where one would mount the sling.
So curious what you guys have done
-
I'm curious too! I am going to be following this thread. I'll take a guess and say that most owners probably practice what the military calls "port arms" though.
-
Im curious with a response. I feel most PCP's, even bullpup's are shot off bipod/bench and not carried through the woods.

I have a bottle clamp on the bottle now for my atlas pod and have a tripod coming as well. Its nice being able to use the same components on the air guns as I do the powder guns.
Wonder how strong the stock is in the wrist area, where the battery sits. Have considered putting a flush cup in the butt of the stock, but there is really no place up front.
Another things I have been thinking of is extending the mounting bolt, and have a rail that goes towards the bottle. This would give a huge range of space to add an attachment point. As well not not having to modify the stock in anyway
The other option would be to make a new stock and put these parts in it.

Ive seen a few Redwolf stocks busted right at the wrist. Very thin in the area of the batt.
-
I'll soon be modding my FLashpup, and lopping off the front of the stock to make room for a 500cc bottle.
I figure there must be a lightweight way to rig a picatiny rail to the bottom of the bottle. (Maybe velocr plus 2 nylon straps.)
If that doesn't work, there are of course big, heavy, commercial ones available.
You could also cut the stock back a few inches, to where it's thicker, then add a rail there, extending forward & under the bottle.
But that would be expensive and heavy. (And might affect resale value, I suppsoe.)
------------
I've seen some bipods that have a sling mount, so you could then have both off of that one rail.
I can't remember where I saw those bipods, but Google should get you there.

I have seen a few guys that have put a carbon tube inside the wrist area

Well, for me this is exactly opposite of how I use my pcp's, especially my bullpup. I am almost a completely off hand shooter. If there is a bipod on my gun it is usually so that I don't have to lay it down on the ground and that is pretty much it.
Once sighted in, they won't see a bench again unless they shoot off.
