Working rifle stuff

Great design, adds options for sights without extra weight or work

Fit perfect, works perfect.

Was easy to install, no mod required. Instructions could have used more pictures, at least a picture labeling everything. The full rail gives lots of options. Goes great with the XS sight already on the Marlin 1894.

XS Sight Systems Service

Talked with the service technician about my two issues with the rail. She was very knowledgeable and professional. She recommended remedial actions and sent a replacement part. It was nice to talk to someone that really knew their job and product.

Flexible mount system, well made

Nice system. Gives more ring locations to accommodate different length scope tubes and ring types, plus accomdates back up metallic sights. Installation was easy, a drop on.

Easy to install

Rail mounted and aligned well. All required parts were included. (plastic drift punch, thread compound, allen wrench, screws, etc) Just needed a hammer and the proper fitting screwdriver. Written instructions were a little vague; but, understandable.

Great addition

First of all, the product came well packed and arrived very fast. I install this on a 1894 in 44 mag, 20" micro groove. I did have to modify the front hole(with a round file), small (1/3-1/2 mm) for everything to fit just right. I got it very tight. After getting the hole move forward to fit on pillar, I trimmed the ring nut and also the recess just enough for ring nut to fit(with a Dremmel and stones). I took a black marker to all parts modified. I also used instructions on line @ SX. I already had ghost rings, but the screw to install this is not included. I contacted SX, and they sent one out for free. Ordered it on the 22nd and got it today, The 26th. This looks great. I will be able to use all sorts of optics on this, like a reflex, red dot, or various scopes. My first mount will be a Leupold 1.5x5x20. I have ordered some Warne med rings(QD). I have estimated just under a 1/2" rise needed to keep ghost ring sight. If you are going to use just one type of optic, Warne offers mounting plates for there rings, But this rail is very cool looking. .
