Arca rail on polymer stock

[GE286]

Anyone have recommendations on an arca rail they have installed on a cheap polymer stock. Want to add one to my son’s ruger American Gen 2 243 so he can shoot off a tripod.

I’ve used Henderson Precision on several different Tika stocks without

I’ve used this brand a lot. No issues. They have multiple length to fit whatever application you want.

I install the SRS pic/arca rail on all my stocks. I drilled and installed the nut into this plastic tikka stock then reinforced the webbing area I removed with epoxy. Worked great.

I did pretty much the same thing as timberline. Works good and pretty easy.

How many inches of the stock do you epoxy to get decent rigidity? Trying not to do the whole thing and save weight for my young hunters.

There's a good writeup from S&S Archery about mounting the Salmon River Solutions Hunter Rails. Adds significant versatility for 3oz

I just epoxied the 1 inch of reinforcement webs I drilled out. Worked perfect.

If you push the arca pic rail toward the front you can get by using a washer and lock nut without epoxy.

I didn’t need the epoxy but added it just for a little extra rigidity. I left it out of my buddy’s and it’s shot great.

+1 for SRS arcs plates

I just added a salmon solutions 10” arca to my Tikka T3 Forest. Hated drilling to the wood stock but was my cheapest solution.

On my Ruger American Gen 2 I mounted a SRS arca pic rail. I just drilled 2 holes in the hex nut location and used stainless 10-32 hardware with thread locker.

Interesting, looks easy enough. I may do that with the wife's 6 ARC. How's the balance in that location?

I was happy with the balance but my rifle is a 6.5cm Ranch model so it only has a 16" barrel

She's got the 16" ranch also and loves it. Sounds like I need to git it done. Thanks for posting.

The hexagon holes really help out when mounting stuff to the forearm.
