Still ugly, but not as much as a relatively wide Arca plate on a thin-stocked hunting rifle. If I had to choose between Arca or pic rail based purely on one-handed ease of carry, I’d go pic rail (only if it’s rounded off). BTW that 419 rail has all the sharp edges rounded off. So it got me thinking about using a nice smooth pic rail, like the Area 419 one, right in front of the magwell instead. I have a number of traditionally-stocked hunting rifles (wood and a Tikka roughtech) that I’ve been using a Vyce with because slapping a relatively large pokey bit of metal right where I’m grabbing the gun sort of sucks (and it’s ugly). I’m not wearing gloves in 100☏ heat or if I’m hiking in cooler temps but I’m hot. No, not in a PRS fashion but in a hunting situation.ĭon’t talk to me about gloves. The bit where Arca isn’t so great is if it’s right where you want to grab the rifle and walk with it. Used for decades with camera stuff, have a Whiskey 3 with metal Arca forend, blah blah it’s awesome. I shoot mainly 204 and smaller, some 6 BR, occasionally 308/6.5 cm.īy experience I know getting a pic rail in the Anvil clamp is little more fussy than an Arca plate, and that pic rails seem to vary a lot more so twiddling with the clamp width will happen a bit more than with general Arca plates & non-RRS plates. I’m using an RRS stand-alone clamp or Anvil clamp on a tripod. But does it matter?Īssume I’m clamping in the same spot on the rifle, right by the magwell. Since the Anvil and new RRS clamps have the dual Arca/pic rail interface, what are the trade offs if I clamp on a pic rail instead of an Arca plate? Strength? Durability? I imagine Arca will be better against torsional stress because it has more surface area. So this is mainly directed towards but here’s the situation:
