FTW Hunter ARCA Rail

[thinckley]

Picked this 7mm PRC yesterday to use for ELR competition and hunting.

I would like to mount an ARCA rail, but while there are options and instructions for installing on an American Gen II (https://jaoutdoors.com/product/ruger-american-gen2-arca-rail/), I have not been able to find anything for the Hawkeye FTW Hunter. Have any of you had any luck with mounting one?

I do plan to run it with a bipod for now, at least during the shakedown/break-in, so not in a rush, but hoping to find some tips or tricks from someone who has had success.

I’d love to have a stock that accommodates an Arca Swiss mounting plate. I use these in photography already. There are some very affordable heavy duty tripods out there (Amazon) that would work great. I have this one before the prices increased. All this would need is a heavy duty Arca Swiss mounting plate that screws to the top of this. The nice thing about this one is that it has a handle that drops below the head and lets the rifle have some (albeit limited) freedom to move around if on mostly level ground. Otherwise, you’d need a heavy duty ball head. I also like the Leofoto brand. All Chinese-made stuff, but a fraction of the cost of the exact same made anywhere else.

That is a nice one! Thank you for the suggestion. I have four rifles that could/would use an arca and a tripod:
the 6.5 PRC

the 7mm PRC

the 300 PRC

and the .224 Valkyrie

The only one I haven't figured out how to mount yet is the 7mm PRC FTW Hunter.

These are all nice setups. I’ve not done it yet, but please show pics once you get it done. I like standing instead of laying on the ground.

That tripod that you posted is about perfect for what I am looking for.... and like I said, I can easily post ARCA rails on everything else... but that FTW Hunter....
