Just use a Hart Accuracy Asset, or Sinclair Forend Benchrest Adapter (749-004-954)....they fasten to the swivel studs.

Get the Sinclair adapter and put some stock tape on the bottom of the buttstock and you are good to go.

Good Shooting

Made my own torque tab for my X-Ray stock. The barrel is offset to the right , and put a bubble level in the back left edge.

cocopuff,

I've seen what I think you want.
It's a wooden dowel, 3/4" diameter or so, with a round groove that matches the shape of the underside of your buttstock and tapered to match the rear bag taper and allow you stock to ride the bag without changing the elevation as much as the original stock taper does.
I made mine out of a broken nunchuck and fitted it to the stock using the rear sling stud hole. I used a round Microplane (wood hobby nut) to do the hollowing out.

Hope this helps.

I have seen them for sale somewhere but don't recall the store.


Cheers,

When I first got into bench rest, I had a BVSS Savage stock. I put one of those plastic thingies on the forend and took a piece of 3/8" square steel tubing and screwed it to the bottom of the stock at the rear and raised the front to the point it was parallel with the bore axis and screwed that to the stock on the front of the rear of the stock.
Worked fine.

Why not just use a rear bag that fits your stock....with no gap so the stock rides near the base of the ears and not on the bag top. Hunter class (Score BR using 6x optics) competitors use single stitch rear bags in conjunction with 2-1/4" flat foreends and a good HC shooter is able to produce scores that better half the field of Varmint For Score (VFS) shooters who use unlimited optics, heavier rifles, and wider stock fore-ends (3").

FWIW- In IBS and NBRSA by rule there is a minimum amount of angle required on the butt stock heel.
