It’s nice. Great service, ordered last weekend, mailed Monday. Comes with quality hardware and a recoil pin.

Didn’t see weight on their page.

Maybe picture of top and bottom too! Thx!

In a day or two. It’s sitting in the mud right now and I don’t want to mount the rail until it’s dry. Stainless, wood stock. Purdy!

That looks better than any other rail out there IMO. Nice to see somebody finally remove material that has no use from these things.

And yea it’s a lefty not a reversed image. I didn’t push the pin down yet so that’s why it’s high in the pic. I wonder about the 15in/lb torque spec., but for now I’ll believe the engineer

Does anyone know the height of the rail?

I’m gonna say .350 at its highest point.

Be careful of the front screw. Mine protruded into the action not allowing the bolt to fully close. Had to shorten the screw. No biggie, just a heads up.

Can you elaborate? I just mounted my SRS 20moa rail to my Tikka T3x, and I also noticed the front screw seemed to be protruding into the action. I didn't have any issues closing my bolt tho. I haven't shot my rifle yet... should I load a dummy round and see if it feeds properly?

BTW, my rifle is a 30-06. Was a little disappointed to see the SRS rail only came with 1 recoil pin... I kinda wanted to utilize all 3 pins for max security. Is 1 recoil pin enough for 30-06? I'm on the fence of returning the SRS rail and getting the Murphy Precisions SS rail (comes with all 5 screws and all 3 recoil pins).

I have an SRS Pic / Arca / QD rail on my Bergara, it's pretty slick.

What's you Bergara caliber? I'm running 30-06 on a Tikka T3x and worried that only 1 recoil pin is pushing it. I really wish they just included all three pins or at minimum the two 3mm ones.

22lr, but the rail has 2 connection points.

Back stud in the back socket and front stud in the slide

Gotcha. We are talking about 2 different things. I'm referring to the SRS scope base rail.

It's a sweet rail. Do yourself a favor and buy it directly from SRS to save on shipping cost.

Best regards,
John

My torque wrench is the non-digital Wheeler FAT Wrench, which has a red block on a gauge to indicate the torque "range" you are tightened to. I set my with the bottom of the block at 15 in-lbs, so the "actual torque" was probably in the 18 in-lbs range. I even emailed SRS about this to ensure 18 in-lbs is okay, and they confirmed that 15 in-lbs is the minimum and going up to 18 in-lbs is perfectly fine.

How far below "flush" did you drive your pin. I drove my pin near perfect flush, yours looks recessed. I'm wondering if I should drive it down further for more security...

What caliber and scope are you running? 30-06 here with a Vortex SE 5-25x56. I'm hoping the single 3mm pin w/ the four 6-42 screws are secure enough to handle a 30-06 running a heavy scope. I'm sure it's fine but... I'm always super OCD about these things. I really wish SRS just designed the rail to take all three pins.
