I installed this adapter on by bergara rifle and for the most part it is great. There is just one huge downfall and that is that the rubber piece that is designed to go in between the rail and rifle to protect it is terrible. As soon as I tightened the rail down the rubber split on each side and now the rail scratched the sh*t out of my new 700 dollar rifle. Blackhawk would probably say I tightened it too much but I was just tightening it until it would not move, which is kind of the whole point. I don't know why they did not just apply rubber to the piece itself because once you apply force to the rail it acts like a knife and just cuts through the rubber, which makes the whole purpose of the rubber irrelevant. If you do not care about scratching the bottom of your rifle (you wont see it if the adapter is on) then it is a good product, the rail is very well made.
