ADM makes a lever quick attach mount as well. “ARCA” is used a lot on photography equipment so attachments and gizmos are abundant for that, it’s just adapting it to your equipment. Like Crews said a full length ARCA rail is tits, but I’ve also cut short pieces of it and mounted it with T screws on fiberglass hunting stocks. The same short ARCA rails are made to fit AR rails to lock into tripod heads. I like versatile equipment and the way my rifles, even rifles I pack out west in the mountains, have the ability to either use a front pic mounted bipod or lock into a tripod head. 99% of the time I’m packing a tripod for glassing optics and there has been numerous times shots have been made off tripods that couldn’t have been made prone off a bipod. It takes seconds to go either way and like scopes, I’ll sacrifice a few OZs for rock solid dependability.

That one is the model I've had that's been around for a while. it's an excellent piece of gear. Awesome that it's cross-compatible with a pic rail or arca plate. They just released a new version with a lever instead of a thumb wheel: New Clamp It'll have the same functionality but the lever should be a tiny bit faster than a screw. Won't make any difference for most.

A full length arca rail on your rifle is glorious. Even without extra stuff it's a nice wide flat spot for the rifle to sit on, which is great for most alternate supported positions. Plus you can swap between tripod and bipod, and position them any way you like. Not every situation calls for a bipod out on the front of the rifle, or a tripod right in front of the mag well.

ARMS 17S platform is what the ADM levers are too.

Careful with the plate that sticks out past the end, it will work like a diving board on that chunky AT. I speak from experience, that rifle will bounce on that. You're much better off replacing that with spigot from Anarchy Outdoors.

Seldom run it out farther than the foreend for that very reason.

Is this for the Vudoo? Are you running the KRG still? KRG has a ARCA rail that fits their chassis perfectly along with ARCA accessories.

That is next up for my new Bravo 10/22. Just don't have the coin yet, that and their shipping is stupid slow.

Man I am really into those Dream-Tact's, if only they were more powerful? Shot count matters in certain circumstances but man wouldn't it be something if they could produce this gun with say 4 shots and 300 FPE instead of 22 at 50fpe?


They make ammo specifically for hunting for a reason! nidea
