Salmon River Solutions, a manufacturer in Northern Idaho, offers a smart and lightweight solution for mounting accessories to traditional rifles. The SRS ARCA Pic rails give you the best of both worlds: a Picatinny rail for bipods and an ARCA rail for tripods. Let’s break down what these rails offer.
Two-in-One Mounting:
These rails are designed to be mounted on the front of a traditionally stocked rifle. The key feature is the combination of:
- Picatinny Rail: This is the standard rail system for many bipods like the Gunwerks Elevate 2.0 and other accessories.
- ARCA Rail: This is a popular standard for tripod mounting, allowing for quick and secure attachment of your rifle to a tripod.
Having both on one rail eliminates the need for separate adapters and provides flexibility in the field.
Smart Design Features:
- Sling Stud Compatibility: The rails include two sling stud mounting points. This lets you attach your sling in the optimal position, either at the front or slightly behind. They also include a quick detach socket for slings with that type of mount.
- Radius Channel: The rails have a slightly curved channel in the middle. This helps them sit better on the curved surface of a traditional rifle stock, providing a more secure fit.
- Durable Construction: These rails are built from 7075 aluminum, a strong and lightweight material.
- Two Length Options: Salmon River Solutions offers the rails in two lengths:
- Short Length measures 4.7 inches in overall length with bolt spacing ranging from 1.5 to 3.5 inches. The rail provides 1.7 inches of ARCA rail and 2 inches of Picatinny rail, with a total weight of just 1.0 ounce.
- Mid Length measures 6 inches in overall length. The rail provides 3.5 inches of ARCA rail and 2 inches of Picatinny rail, with a total weight of just 1.6 ounces.
Benefits for Shooters:
- Better Bipod Mounting: Instead of relying on a sling stud, you can use a Picatinny-mounted bipod, which is often more stable and adjustable.
- Tripod Versatility: The ARCA rail allows you to quickly and easily attach your rifle to a tripod, which is incredibly useful for:
- Glassing with stability.
- Taking precise shots from elevated or awkward positions.
- Shooting at steep inclines.
