I put a sling stud on the stainless barreled to mount a bipod to.
The other one I put in an M&P Sport II lower for pictures. I think this one will be used in this configuration mostly anyways.
I want one for walking and the other for when I don't mind the extra weight. Both of these rifles will be used for deer hunting.
I hope to have some hunting pics with these rifles this fall.

If you want one to be a walking rifle, you might should consider:
Lightweight M-Lok or Keymod handguard. Cheapies can be had from ebay for as little as $20. You can spend upwards of $300-500 if so inclined to run Gucci gear. (I would not personally, but more power to you that can.)
Lightweight bolt carrier. I run one from Right To Bear arms. Can be had for $60 on sale. No bolt, just the carrier. Of course, you can spend much more on other brands like JP if so inclined.
Light-er, fast acquisition, low power optic. Something 1-4X would work. A 1-6x, even better. Leopold VX-Freedom can be had around $200.
Light-er gas block. The one in the picture looks pretty large. If you elected for the lightweight carrier, an adjustable gas block would be very beneficial. There are multiple light weight models on the market for under $100.
Of course... barrel profile would make a very big impact. But at that point you are talking about substantial change and money outlay.
