Bipod mount for FX Royal 500

[jimreed1948]

What is the best way to mount a bipod on an FX Royal 500.  I have seen a some where it is attached to the air tank.  It appears the mount was epoxied to the bottle.

If you want to mount it on the bottle, look here

I saw that too,  but would mounting it to the tank cause any undo stress to where the bottle mounts?

I haven't read about anything negative happening but iI wouldn't mount a bipod on the bottle of my gun. I would think there would be unnecessary stress on the fitting.

It looks like you have enough wood to tap a sling stud. Even if you have to cut it in half it should be enough to hold.

Did you mount a bipod to your bottle? If so what did you use and are you happy with it?

[jimreed1948]

No I didn't.  I'm still using a front rest with a rear bag for the bench.  For field work I use a tripod with with a rifle rest from Bog Gear.  In the field I can use the tripod as a bipod as well.  Very stable platform.
