Stockys tikka stock

How did you mount the Picatinny rail? Did you drill in from the top an install T-nut for a machine screw, drill a hole and use threaded screw from the bottom, or other? I have VG stock and an SRS Pic/Arca rail to install and am evaluating which method to use.

I drilled a hole right through for a No.10 machine screw at the back, then counter bored the inlet for a nyloc nut. The front, I had to counter bore the hole in the rail to seat the sling stud a little deeper & then simply used that with its original nut.
