ARCA + pic plate on CVA Accura/Optima

[CMF]

Has anyone installed one of these on their Accura/Optima? details?

I have an Accura MRX. I'm wanting options for a better rest in the field than just a trigger stik. I figure with this I can clamp into tripod as well as try out some bipods.
Or should/could I do seperate plates and put the arca further back for better balance?

This is for the wife/kids backpack hunting the opensight deer and elk seasons, so trying to keep weight down over something like the deathgrip tripod.

I haven't installed one on a CVA but have one on a Rem700. The CVA that I shot last year had double sling studs on the forestock - It seems like this would make it really easy to install a short plate.

I haven't either, but it should be a fairly straightforward install with how flat the forend is on my Accura. You would want to check clearances on the backside for the ramrod, but I would think you could drill out material for a T-nut and use proper length screws to avoid any interference.

The Optima doesn't have a good flat spot to mount the plate. My buddy had to revert back to his Death Grip intead of the ARCA attachment for his Optima.

A Spartan adapter would work for him as well. No flat spot needed.

I put that exact rail on my MR-X. Works awesome.

Nice! any details on mounting?
How are you using and how's the balance? The one in the pic I posted seems more up front and better for bipods, but I'll probably use it mostly on a tripod so I'm thinking of mounting further back, but then maybe bipods won't work as well, I don't know....

Mounting was easy. I just unscrewed the two swivel studs and used the included mounting hardware with the SRS rail (so the rail is mounted up front). I have never used the pic portion of the rail for a bipod but instead use the arca portion for a tripod. I don't recall the details on balance, but it wasn't bad given how heavy the barrel is on the muzzleloader.

Actually, thinking harder about the install, I believe I had to use one of my own screws for installation because if I recall correctly, one of the swivel studs is more of a "wood screw" and one is a "nut/bolt" design.
