Prefer quality over budget, but don't want to spend 2x as much for that last 10% if possible. Thanks in advance everyone!

Bipod stud and harris bipod
Picatinny rail and Knockoff Atlas clone
Atlas Picatinny rail and Atlas clone
How to mount a rail to your stock
My thoughts and, how to tell the differences of "Atlas "style" bipods....
Happy Shooting!

Oh yeah, one more way...
FX tube clamp and Harris. Install the tube clamp just in front of the stock. The Harris will use part of the stock and all of the clamp as a base. It's the most non-invasive way to mount a bipod I could think of.

Thanks SO much for the time and effort you put into those vids! I should have mentioned in the OP that I absolutely despise clones/knockoffs/pirating of any quality product. Period. Buying a clone, imo, is akin to buying stolen (intellectual) property. Clones rob true innovators of their just rewards, thus stifling innovation in the long run.
Seeing now what a great product it is, I will gladly spend the extra for an Atlas. Thanks again for your contribution to the sport!

It's my pleasure to help. (Actually, I'm just collecting accuracy points. Just kidding!) 
I prefer the Atlas picatinny rails over the plastic ones as well. I think they fit better and have little to no play. Also, it always seems to work best when you put two products of the same name brand together.

What's your opinion of an FX tube sling mount combined with a sling/picatinny adapter? Thanks again

I'm not sure I follow what your asking.
I wouldn't put the pressures of a sling on the air tube. It's just asking for trouble. But, I think shooting from a bipod that is partially supported by the stock and the air tube is ok.
If you've got the synthetic stock, I'd use T-nuts to distribute the pressure over a larger surface area.
Ahhh, I know what you mean....
I think you'd end up with a very tall mounting setup. The more pieces you add, the more potential for play in the system. If you're looking for a sling as well as a bipod, I think the Atlas mount has a spot for a quick detach piece that is common on slings. Essentially, you could have a solid base, very good bipod, and QD sling connection point all in one. If you used the T-nuts, it would also be very secure.

Sorry if it was unclear. The FX tube sling mount u mentioned is non invasive. There are adapters to mount picatinny rails on sling mounts. Kinda along the FX/Harris solution you mentioned except the addition of picatinny to make it FX/Atlas
