Made of lightweight machined aluminum, this Picatinny-style rail with hard anodized finish provides a rigid, corrosion resistant mounting surface. It ensures your optic remains firmly in place whether you are running a conventional riflescope, scout scope, or compact red dot. The Lever Rail is easy to install with common hand tools. No gunsmith is required. It allows you to set precise eye relief for a consistent cheek weld.
Iron Sight Redundancy
For shooters who want iron sight redundancy or quick target acquisition at close range, XS offers the Lever Rail with Ghost Ring Sight Set. It includes a White Stripe Front. The .191-inch aperture of the Ghost Ring offers a crisp, repeatable sight picture in bright light. It still provides usable light transmission at dusk and dawn and is fully adjustable for windage and elevation.
The high-contrast White Stripe Front gives a fast index against any background. It is bold enough to be useful in brush or on stalks yet refined enough to deliver precision when it counts. The steel sights and aluminum rail are hard anodized for long-term durability and corrosion resistance. All hardware is included and finished to match the rail. The kit ships with a full screw kit, blue threadlocker, and an insert with clear instructions. It includes everything you need for a tidy, repeatable install. No gunsmith required.
