It is high for a bipod, when you can put a sling stud on the tube for a few bucks, and pop the bipod on that. Of course I don't have any of the fancy rails so there may well be a reason that woulnd't work.
I'm so simple I get an AL tube, and just put a c ouple studs in place and a short rail section if I want a light on the gun and anything else. Can't think of one that doesn't have just a short rail section. Picatinny rail base blank from Weaver or such, cut in half sometimes, drill and tap..pretty easy, fairly cheap.
