Anyone use the arca rail weights? 3.5 oz per weight. Doesn’t seem like too much weight. You could potentially add just over 1 lb if you get all 5 weights to fill the rail.
419 Arca rail weights. Anyone use them.

For the Manners PRS-TCS I used all 7. It's not that much weight if you look at chassis like ACC and Envy where the fore-end weights add an additional 1.5lbs.
Yea I have a Bergara in the HMR stock and while it’s 22, it has some recoil to it. Which I feel affect accuracy a bit. By buddies gun in chassis is a tank and doesn’t even flinch when fired. Actually makes a huge difference. Chassis would be the best choice but was seeing if the weights would actually make much of a difference.
I use them. I was trying to add as much weight as far forward as I could to balance my rife with the CF barrel
Recoil affecting accuracy? Are you talking about follow up shots? Or that recoil literally affects the accuracy of a single shot?
The gun will slightly move toward the rear so I can see the scope reticles jump a bit. So my follow thru isn’t really rock solid on the sight. I also don’t jam the stock into my shoulder to reduce any induced body part affecting the gun. And my left hand is manipulating the bag. I’m looking to add some weight and possibly bipod feet. Shooting prone on my mat layer over gravel may have affected it a bit. Since it wasn’t the most solid ground. But my buddy was shooting in the same conditions. Look I know it’s 22. But it still has a bit of recoil I’m trying to control without using to much of my body
Convert PX member to Community Supporter and get access to the training vids. They helped me quite a bit. Biggest thing was pulling rifle into shoulder, then slightly loading bipod with the hips, that's all the load you need. And keeping the support hand solidly on the bag/rear of the stock and not letting the support hand go limp. That let my recoil go perfectly straight back. I took a class with lowlight using a .308 and that allowed straight recoil and tiny groups. Same concept applies to .22 even though people think there's very little recoil.
Good advice. Someone else mentioned loading the bipod legs to get rid of the slight play. I moved my scope to allow for less shoulder contact. But I may need to increase shoulder contact a bit more. I can add the stock spacers to help with that. Otherwise my eye relief will be off.
Don’t want to sight in again. I actually like where the scope sits on the rifle now. Gun seems more balanced.
I used 5 weights in my Manners TCS stock but only to balance it so it balanced forward of the mag well.
yep the 12 inch version so it sticks off the end of my 22 a little bit like maybe 2 inches works great .
20" MTU and have a weight in every pocket, thick weight in last pocket and all steel weights/spacers removed from rear.
You can order the PRS-TCS also with a steel arca rail instead of aluminum which will add a bit more weight.
Had to post another showing the balance point. Manners T4A mini-chassis, Area419 with all brass weights. 18" Straight Jacket Armory MTU
