Come on guys. It's time to listen to your fans and innovate a shaped, metal stick into the front ends of the stocks. We've been asking for this for years. It won't take away from the aesthetics of the rifle and it will could up a new production door for you called "accessories."
Imagine it.... A metal stick embedded into the stocks that people can use to install bipod rails (since a vast majority of shooters are doing just that). You'd need to also make two little bits, commonly known as "nuts," to fit inside the rail. I can see it now.... It's almost like an inverted dovetail.
You've successfully dropped the prices on your rifles while advancing the entire sport and challenging your competition to keep up. Bump that cost up a little to get this done. There's profit involved!
Those 2 little "bits" $
How about a sling stud adaptor? $
How about a rail extension? $
How about a 90º add on rail for accessories such as flashlights? Oh wait, that already exists. It's called a picatinny rail accessory. In fact, the two accessories I just mentioned also already exist for picatinny rails. So we're back to putting a stick into a piece of wood.
It's one thing to provide us with enough material to work with and skip this whole rail idea. But, you're not doing that. I see the thickness of the material only getting thinner.
BTW, your competition has been figuring this out and you're starting to fall behind.
