Area 419 Improved Scope Rail Features The Area 419 Improved Scope Rail is machined from a single piece of T7075 aluminum specifically to fit the Ruger American Short Action receiver giving shooters a precise snug fit that eliminates the play sometimes found with universal rail options. Machined entirely in house on Area 419 s own CNC machining centers the rail is built to a tight tolerance that keeps the scope s mounting surface flat and true across its full 9.25 inch length. A 20 MOA cant built into the rail shifts the available elevation adjustment range toward the top end of a scope s travel giving long-range shooters the reserve they need to dial for distance without running out of adjustment. This all-purpose cant works well across a range of calibers and shooting distances common to the Ruger American platform. Finished in a Type III black hardcoat anodize the rail resists wear and corrosion from repeated handling and exposure to field conditions. Area 419 recommends torquing the clamp screws to 15 in/lb and the rail ships with the wrench needed to do exactly that so shooters have everything required for a proper installation out of the box. At just 1 inch tall and roughly 0.15 pounds the rail adds minimal bulk or weight to the rifle while providing a stable long-term mounting platform for a precision optic. For Ruger American Short Action owners looking for a dedicated precisely fit scope base the Area 419 Improved Scope Rail is available for sale at GrabAGun.
