Picatinny to Arca

[jolemons]

I have pic rails installed on all of my rifles. I just bought an Arca adapter for my tripod heads and am interested in trying it out for shooting. I'm looking for the best solution to attach a rifle with pic rail to an arca plate receiver on my tripod heads.

American Defense Mfg. makes one with a quick release lever that seems to fit the bill. It would be a simple solution for swapping between rifles versus a semi-permenant adapter that is screwed onto the pic rail.

I'm open to other suggestions, but the quick release option seems ideal. Thanks for the guidance.

Area 419 makes a clamp that is dual ARCA and Pic

I use RRS SC-ARC heads on my bipods and they attach to both picatinny/ARCA. They're also R-Lock compatible which is nice. The SC-ARC Anvil-30 head should accomplish the same thing.

Yes, having a clamp that works for either is a preferable option. RRS, Area419, MDT (i think?), Leofoto, etc all make clamps that work on arca and pic. I'm sure that ADM product would work but it looks tall. I sure wouldn't want it anywhere on a stock fore-arm other than the very front where a bipod would typically go.

I hardly lock-in to my tripod with my rifle simply shoot off the top with a bag.

RRS anvil works on both pic and arca, actually works better on pic in my experience.

Not a quick release, but this works well on my AR platform for pic to arca. Its fairly low profile too. I actually "won" it in a drawing here, but it's been gtg so far. I'd definitely buy another if needed.

Appreciate all the comments on the Anvil, but I have a lot of $ invested in heads and am not going to take the financial hit to change.

Thanks John, but not what I was after. I need an adapter so that my rifle pic rail will attach to a tripod head that has an Arca female clamp.

Thanks, I emailed Area 419 to see what they suggest.

It definitely isn't low profile. Maybe a better solution would be to buy multiple semi-permenant adapters that are lower profile and just live on the rifle. Not sure I would mind the higher profile for just target shooting and the occasional hunt where I'm shooting deer and elk from the truck/utv.

Talked to area 419, they do not offer a pic to arca adapter.
