TIKKA T1X ARCA LITE for PRS Base Class?

[Sblzrd65]

Looking at the Mountain Tactical TIKKA T3X/T1X ARCA LITE rail add on for a Tikka T1x. Looking at the PRS Rimfire Rules it seems like adding it would still keep it in base class (a chassis is a down the line goal so looking to maximize the next 2-3 years or so) if I'm assuming it counts as adding a "rail". Any thoughts on it?

If had a choice I would use a KRG XL HEAVY rail to get some weight up in the front so it sits the bags better.

Ignore base class.

Ignore base class.

I get that overall. I just don't have spare cash for a chassis at the moment. But I have $80 for an ARCA rail to add to the bottom of what I already have.

For just an ARCA rail, I like the Salmon River Solutions rails for the Tikka (or any rounded) stock.

But for a competition rifle, I’ll echo the comments saying to go as heavy as you can. Maybe even go with a DST Precision Da’Rail.
