IMO, I would have to use the tri-rail to get the scope up where my stiff old neck would give me a view thru the scope if I didn’t have a TTTA on one and an E-Tac on the other.

Why in hell they go to the extra trouble and expense of cutting is so thin is beyond me. What is the point? 👿

The only reason I can think of is looks. Or more precisely, somebody didn’t think things through. Maybe it’s a marketing ploy to sell outrageously priced accessories.

People work to quiet their action and eliminate tank ping, but I don’t read much (so far nothing) about what happens to the rifle when that sound wave travels through the gun. A wave doesn’t distort the frame much but that tiny distortion gets amplified by a “lever” 50-100yds long. I don’t know, and I don’t know how to find out, but I do know I don’t seem to have any problems along those lines. Your mileage may vary.

Doesn’t it help with frame flex?

That’s why I got one. I added a WoKgrip, the tri-rail, and a Weaver adapter under the PW window. Now my Condor prefers a firm grip. That blade-thin rail opposite the breech cutout makes me nervous. Maybe personal preference, but I prefer dealing with the extra scope height.

Nope, well, may-be a little, but it can asque the scope to bbl angle from time to time. AF really needs to address that paper thin breach/frame area. 🙄

Not in my experience.

It’s just another chunk of not particularly well made metal between scope and rifle. Try not to use one if you can get away with it.

I like mine.
