Ok thanks,i didn't think there would be any drilling involved,only replacing the existing counter sunk'stud' with a swivel stud??Do you reckon a barrel mount is as accurate as a swivel mount?
Do you mean a bipod that can swivel, or do you mean one that mounts on a swivel,(As some do swivel) my barrel adapter does not swivel, nor does my bipod, the length of the legs can be adjusted for shooting on, say the hood of my truck which slopes. As for accuracy I dont think there would be any advantage either way. I like the barrel adapter as I can attach it to any of my guns wether they have a sling swivel or not. There are cheap plastic bipods that attach to barrels, but they have quite a bit of play, I prefer a high quality unit like the Harris. I hope this helps.
What i mean is i think i'd have to replace the existing bolt in the stock with a swivel stud to attach the bipod.I like the idea of being able to attach a barrel mount to other guns
the harris is probabaly the best of the bipods, when I need to zero my deer rifle or my 22 for compition or any other gun where stability is needed it is very easy, just a couple(4 I think) of allen screws and the barrel adapter is in place and solid, refer to the russel cataloge. the whole package may add an additional 12 oz. or so, to front end but this for bench shooting, in my opinion. There ae some rifles that I just don't want to drill for studs. good luck.
Don't you get a bouncing affect using a bi-pod with springer?

Don't you get a bouncing affect using a bi-pod with springer? Most springers need a soft stock to surface contact so the firing cycle is absorded. I could see a Co2 rifle or pnuematic, but a springers gonna jump all over the place unless its a pretty nice shock asorbing bi-pod.
The RWS52/48 has a reputation for good power and accuracy. And spring recoil!!!

I ended up buying a barrel mounted Ncstar bipod (seems to be the only universal mount available here in NZ).Anyway it seems to do the job well & accuracy doesn't seem to be a problem.It doesn't bounce when fired,but i read in a forum somewhere about replacing the rubber feet with plastic feet so it moves more naturally with the recoil?

No way, the lock time isnt that long with a springer, My 48 with mount and bipod is extreamly accurate,at some impressive ranges. when i said refer to Russel cataloge I'm refering to russel sports in Calgary Canada. with regards to bounce, remember a light hold is best for these jumpy springers!
