Bob,
Try optics warehouse for a reed resolution rear extended pic rail
Don't buy one which is made especially for the Drone it's too thick.

I noticed they did them but out of stock, and has anyone told them its to thick ?

Just looked at my 2 rear extended rails bob (tikka595 and howa 1500) and both are stamped as APEX.
My Tikka 595 pic rail is stamped Apex T59.
Thinking back on it when I bought them, I think it was the reed Drone mount I got first for my howa , which was too thick and so sent back for a change to a thinner rail, that's probably when it got changed to an Apex which was thinner and works ok with the Drone.

Cheers bud on the search now for apex rails

seems they don't do an extended rail for the 595 ?

Bob, try Sam at Wildcat. I hear a whisper that he's got Drone mounts for Sako/Tikka dovetails...

They definitely did do an extended one for the 595 bob, if you go on ukv 2nd page varminting, you'll see pics of it with Drone on my 17fireball, look at " foxes everywhere today!!!) That's a rear extended Apex T59

Hi Bob,
As posted above Sam does indeed manufacture a 'McKillop style' Drone Pro mount in-house for both Sako and tikka rifles and has some limited stock left at the moment, in-fact I spoke to him this afternoon.
I can confirm that the build quality is excellent and, after some seriously harsh use by me over the past 6 months, there has been no zero shift with my Drone Pro. Have a read of my write-up on Stalking Directory I posted the other month for further info and contact details or feel free to pm me if you have any queries.
I don't have any business connection to Sam so have no vested interest in selling/advertising his products, however, he is a talented and well respected gunsmith who lives by his reputation/products so deserves a heads up.

Cheers lads.

Sadly i am not going to pay £257 for a mount ill stick to a extended rail.

When neil made his i got one straight from neil for £150? Demand seems to have spoiled the water

What a shame.

Bob.
