Salmon River Armory Ruger American Arca Rail | Install, Tripod Setup & Range Test

This video covers my first impressions of the Salmon River Armory Ruger American Arca Rail—a lightweight, low-profile Arca rail that gives your Ruger American true tripod capability without adding bulk.

I’m setting up my .300 Blackout Ruger American Ranch as a dedicated deer rifle, and this rail is exactly what I needed to build out a stable ground setup using a tripod. In this video, I walk through why I wanted an Arca rail, show a short install montage, and wrap up with a 100-yard shooting session to test how it performs under real-world conditions.

🔥 What’s Covered in This Video:
✔️ Overview of the Salmon River Armory Arca rail for Ruger American
✔️ Why it’s a perfect upgrade for ground-based deer hunting setups
✔️ Install footage with fit and alignment notes
✔️ Shooting test at 100 yards from a tripod
✔️ First thoughts on performance, recoil, and tripod stability

If you’re looking to add tripod support to your Ruger American without overcomplicating your setup, this is a simple, purpose-built solution.
