For my Super 14 barrels I use the front forearm mounting screw spot and replace the screw with an appropriately shortened machine screw sling stud. I don't use a bipod on my 10" barrels. I have several barrels I use with a Pachmyer forend and use the one mounting hole on that for a sling stud.
FWIW I always put a couple of stainless steel washers between the forearm and the barrel to float the barrel on wood forends.
Hope this helps.
