Stud mounted bipods are part and parcel of our shooting landscape these days. I would have given the smartass Beretta CS rep an earful when they made the comment about running over it with a car. Running over guns with a vehicle is not a normal application. Mounting a bipod on the fore end is very much a part of what people do with their rifles. Given that it is common that people use bipods, Sako should state in the owner's manual that their stocks aren't strong enough to handle a bipod. A Ruger American stock can handle it.
