The SRS Hunter Rail is the full-length solution for hunters who demand maximum stability and versatility from their rifle. Designed to fit virtually any hunting rifle, this rail gives you both a Picatinny section and a long ARCA rail, opening up endless mounting possibilities.
Why You Want the Longer Rail:
The biggest advantage is the ability to clip your rifle into a tripod near its balance point. This is especially helpful when hunting with kids or new shooters, as you can get the gun stable and pointed in the right direction, allowing them to focus on those final, critical corrections.
Key Features
- Dual Mounting System: Features a Picatinny section for traditional bipods (like Atlas) and a long ARCA rail section for quick tripod mounting.
- Enhanced Stability: The flatter bottom profile is a huge upgrade over rounded stocks. When resting on a bag, pack, or tree branch, the flat surface spreads the load over a greater area, making the rifle much more stable for better shot consistency.
- Smart Design: A central indent runs down the channel to help center the rail and hold it securely on more rounded forends. It also features a cutout designed to match up to your rifle’s bottom metal.
- Custom Bipod Placement: The long ARCA section lets you slide your bipod forward or back. For example, centering the bipod makes it easier to achieve upward angles when shooting up a hill.
- Minimal Weight Penalty: It comes in two lengths—10.625 inches and 11.5 inches—both weighing right around 3 ounces. The negligible weight addition is worth the massive jump in versatility and stability.
