Wondering what is the best location to mount a bipod? This is going on a Crosman Challenger PCP which has a Anschutz type rail on the forearm. I have about 14" of horizontal rail to mount to. Do I want it at the balance point or in front or behind? This will be used for benchrest only. On my way! all my other rifles I mounted on the swivel stud wherever that was located. I'm confused with a choice.

Try mounting it in the front, then back, then middle. Shoot some three shot groups at each location to see where it shoots best. Then fine tune from there.
Let the gun decide, just like pellets. There's no such thing as bad trigger time.

Plain & Simple wherever it's comfortable for you. ;)

+1 what he said. Comfort helps accuracy. Then just "Will" the pellet to it's mark.

Just to add though, the further forward the more stable your shooting rig will be..
That said, I mount the bipods as far forward as I can and remain practical. .

What kind of bipod and how are you going to mount it?
I ask because I have modded a 1760 into a Challenger stock and know nothing about bipods or how to mount on the Challenger rail.

I use the Caldwell bipod, have used UTG too. I personally don't like the swivel tilt type. Hope this helps

My .25 m-rod sits in a challenger stock and I just drilled and tapped about 2 inches back from the front of the forearm. works great for me.
