Pic rail/scope mount - Evolution Gun Works HD Picatinny Scope Mount, Howa

This particular "pic rail" was purchased for a couple mini action Howa's. I noticed on the chassis models that this rail would not mount properly unless it was modified. I ended up having to cut off a 1/2 an inch or so at the front of this mount in order for it to fit on the chassis 6.5 Grendel "American Flag" offerings from Legacy. Once it was modified, cleaned up and given a quick coat of black finish on the cut end, it fit fine. The other mini actions with 'regular stocks', built or bought, the rails mounted just fine. I would recommend this rail if this is the style you like on a regular "hunting model" or you plan on changing optics often. If not, you may want to consider a direct mounted base and ring (4 piece set) sets for this application and the chassis system. I gave it four stars because it is not truly a mount that will fit "all mini action rifles from Howa", as it basically implies.

It should be noted that this mount is aluminum. This could be a boon for some. It does save weight for those who are counting ounces and plan on using aluminum rings.
