Rails at a glance

Flat or angled

A rail without MOA in the title is flat (0 MOA), the usual choice for hunting and normal distances. The 15 MOA, 20 MOA, 25 MOA and 35 MOA versions are angled forward. The angle gives the scope more elevation, so you can zero at long distance without running out of adjustment.

Left-handed rifles

A separate rail is made for left-handed rifles. A right-handed rail does not fit a left-handed receiver.

Installation

You need no gunsmith. Clean the receiver and the screws, put a drop of threadlocker on each screw and tighten them evenly to the torque given by the maker. Then mount the rings and the scope.

For scope rings, see Scope rings for Picatinny base. For all rails of this brand, see Picatinny rails for CZ models.
