    Sling stud-mounted rail - help please!

    I want to mount a Maxtoch on the forend of my Tikka via a sling stud-mounted rail. I don't want it to be permanent and don't want to drill any holes. Happy to lose the sling while the torch is in use. Any recommendations? I'm open to cheap crap from AliExpress!

    Cheep and cheerful. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32860863372.html
    I tried one for a bipod, and it worked ok. Kinda huge, and I ended up screwing a short length of pic rail to the forend as the permanent solution.

    Real guns start with the number 3 or bigger and make two holes, one in and one out

    Thanks Quentin, that was the kind of thing I was looking at.

    Just remember that the bottom of the stock is usually at an angle to the barrel so the beam might vanish from sight after a couple of hundred meters.
    There are only three types of people in this world. Those that can count, and those that can't!

    Have done the same thing with a brother along side.

    Thanks. I'll bear in that in mind. Hopefully the very expensive bit of rubber fro ACCU will make it right!
