I have an Omega with a composite stock and purchased a Harris Bipod which secures to the front sling stud.

Last time I was at the range the bipod came right off after a shot. I thought that it maybe became unloosened and all I needed was to tighten it again, but upon closer examination I saw that the bipod pulled my front sling stud right out.

I'm guessing that the recoil put a little lateral pressure on the sling stud and eventually after enough shots it just worked itself out. Problem is I can't just screw it back in because it pops right out as the threads no longer have a grip.

I bought a replacement swivel set that contained a nut and bolt (instead of the wood screw type) sling stud, but unfortunately I can't secure it from the inside because the bolt is a little too long and it interferes with the ramrod.

I suppose I can cut the bolt and create a recessed area for the nut so it doesn't interfere with the ramrod, or I can just screw in my original sling stud an inch away from the first hole (in which case I can't use the bipod because it will work itself out again).

Not sure how I'm going to solve this yet, but I just wanted to give a head's up to anyone who is using a sling stud mounted bipod to be aware of the potential problem.
