Look at post #76 in this thread. That is an Area 419 14" ARCA rail with barricade stop.
How does the steel version of the rifle balance with a bipod and 30oz optic? I’m leaning heavily towards picking one of these up.
I’m super impressed with my friends so far. I was saving up for a vudoo or rimx to drop in a xylo but I’m seriously considering the barreled action bergara and putting it in the xylo. Spend the rest on ammo and maybe another class.
If I did it over, I'd buy the BA and get a diff stock. About the same cost. Mine has been great, and let's be honest, I'm pretty good but not so good that the 3k rifles will make that much of a difference.
Do you have the rail installed on yours? Looking for pictures and how it was installed.If someone is looking at the factory stock they should look at the L3I heavy rail. It's solid steel so it's actually heavier than the weighted versions but also thinner. Plus it's cheaper
I am waiting on the HEAVY model, I cannot wait to try it out. That bolt break is concerning but good to hear bergara will make it right. Please keep us posted how this goes.
I have the same rail. Which weight is that you have up front? I have not seen that one by Area419. I’d like to get it. Thanks
Edit: I don’t have that rail. I have the dovetail rail that doesn’t accept weights. I saw the barricade block on your rail and just assumed it was the same rail.

For reference for others, this is the A419 rail with (5) brass weights. I took the weight closest to the mag and doubled it up on the slot closest to the muzzle, and used a longer metric screw from my local hardware store to attach the two weights one of top of the other.
do you mind getting me a shot of your ARCA rail mounted and how you mounted it? finally got the weighted Area 419 rail and as mentioned the front screws don't line up. Saw your description of drilling and using T-nuts and a 1 3/8" action screw but just thought I'd see where you did the drilling and mounting for the forward screws.
Any issues you've run into with the plate?
