Tripod direct mount setup ?'s

[Hammerdown22]

Im wanting to setup several of my rifles for direct mount (arca swiss) to my tripod, but want to be able to remove them if im not shooting on the pod.
What's the best way to go about this?
I was thinking about putting anschutz rails in them.That way it could be easily removed and the anschutz rail would be flush and wouldn't interfere with shooting off bags or off hand.
I don't have any rifles with anschutz rails and have no experience with them either.
But didn't want a arca swiss rail permanently hanging and want to easily remove it. The stocks of these guns will be fiberglass, wood,and carbon.
Is there another method that's being used? Is this a good idea? Do anschutz rails weaken stocks? Are anschutz rails sturdy enough for my application?

Some of the Arca rails are pretty slim and smooth FYI

Edit. Are. Not arent. As is some of them aren’t bad as bad riders or in your hmf

Edited. Some aren’t bad at all to leave on the gun

Lots of good chassis systems with discreetly built in rails. What type of stock do you want/have?


Just an FYI:
Anshutz rails should be the UIT spec, but be careful to verify when ordering as it's often incorrectly used as a catch all phrase for those rails. There are actually a few different rail sizes. Matching accessories to your rail can suffer from the same catch all naming issue. Not a big deal once you know your specs, but something to keep in mind every time you order.
