🔍 Common Questions About Ruger American Scope Rails
Q: What’s the difference between 0 MOA and 20 MOA rails?
A: A 0 MOA rail is flat—ideal for closer distances or short-range optics. A 20 MOA rail tilts your optic slightly forward, giving you extra elevation adjustment for long-range shooting (400+ yards).
Q: Will this fit my Ruger American .308 or 6.5 Creedmoor?
A: Yes—select the short action rail. For .30-06 or 7mm Rem Mag, choose the long action option.
Q: Are these rails compatible with Weaver rings?
A: Yes. Picatinny rails are backward-compatible with most Weaver-style rings.
Q: What tools do I need to install this rail?
A: You’ll need a Torx driver, torque wrench, and threadlocker (blue Loctite recommended). Torque to 20–25 in/lbs.
Q: Will this rail work with AR-style red dots or LPVOs?
A: Absolutely. The full Picatinny interface works with any optic using standard Picatinny or Weaver clamps.
