Sling stud picatinny adapter

Does anyone have a good recommendation on a solid yet inexpensive sling stud swivel/picatinny adapter? I have a Blackhawk one on one of my rifles and really like, it, but it is no longer made. I want to get one for the Savage Mark II we have setup for the kids to get a bipod on there, while also having the sling available. I saw this one, however, reviews said the picatinny spacing isn't standard so some attachments don't work. This Caldwell one, reviews complained of the swivel stud pin falling out, allowing the sling to come loose.
Any recommendations would be appreciated.
 
said the picatinny spacing isn't standard so some
Picatinny rails have exact dimensions. If it doesn’t then they are wrong in calling it that.

“ The Picatinny locking slot width is 0.206 in (5.23 mm). The spacing of slot centres is 0.394 in (10.01 mm) and the slot depth is 0.118 in (3.00 mm).

Manufacturers are trying to turn this into some kind of generic random description.

There is a Weaver type rail and the Picatinny rail. They do differ in dimensions. I did the mistake once and couldn't fit the base to the mounts, only to realize it was a different dimension.
 
Doesn't your bipod have a sling stud? Most do, not all. And some do not like how some slings attach to the bipod, just a thought I'm sure you have thought of.

I have the Seekins mentioned above on a M700 HS Precision stock. It has 2 studs 2 inches apart - not sure if your Mark II has 2 but you could always add a second fastener. I haven't used it for a sling but its bolted on solidly.

only one stud factory installed, but as you said, a second could be added. I think I found what I needed. Thank you all for the responses.
 
I have 2 of the ones from Caldwell.
Never had an issue with either of them.
Plus is you can kinda level them to match up the base to the line of the forestock, while the rail matches the center line of the barrel bore.

It's an angular thing. :D
