Mounting a arca swiss plate to a fiber glass stock

I inletted an Anshutz rail in the bottom, then used a UIT fitment Arca rail which just slotted in and tightened up. You can then put it on and off as required.

Thank you

I've thought about it, but for my CZ 457 MTR in .22LR, I just bought a chassis and put the wooden stock into storage. For my 6.5 Creedmoor, I would probably take the same approach.

What I'm finding is I now have three ways to attach bipods to my rifles, traditional forend stud, small section of Picatinny on the forend and now an Arca rail on my CZ 457 MTR.

Thank you

I was thinking of putting one on my Wood CZ527 and one on the McMillan stock

Can do with the clamp style things .

Not fibre glass but you can probably use the same method.  I fitted one to a GRS laminate.

• First I found the balance point of the rifle, then decided to mount the plate slightly in front of that
• I inletted the stock slightly to allow a flat fit of the plate
• Mounted the plate with tape to make sure it lined up etc and drilled through the stock
• I used epoxy adhesive between plate and stock, I also bolted through into the inlet of the fore end (on the GRS this is much deeper than the barrel channel
• Once the bolts were tight, I filled the inlet with more epoxy

I have quite a heavy rifle, the above method has worked well for me
