I was looking at my LA 700 BDL planning for ARCA rail attachment. The LA BDL floorplate gives a nice area for carrying the rifle in hand and I'd like to put the ARCA rail as close to it as possible. But my bedding job around the recoil lug and barrel tenon is going to force me to mount the ARCA plate further forward than I want (if I use a t-nut for the rear screw).
I was thinking it would be nice to use the forward action screw as the rear screw for the ARCA plate. Any ideas/thoughts on this mounting?
I haven’t looked into this. But you would still need a second screw to hold it in place. Just the one wouldn’t secure it well enough.
