How many picattiny rail slots does this take up?

It only takes up a small section but the mounting holes are about the full length and it requires the whole length.

If your rail has 3 bars to the inch, it will cover 7 bars. very nice, solid set-up.

Five. I found out that out the hard way. It mounts perfectly on a five rail riser.

This is a 7 slot rail. Mounting holes are approx. 1 5/8th apart. Could be 1 9/16ths. This will change if you buy one with more or less slots. Don't know about your ruger. Used this on AMD-65. Hope this helps!!

No,those rings are made to be mounted where the rail will mount. You will need to purchase rings to fit the picitiny rail.

"1 Picatinny rail with 13 slots; measures 5.7 by 1.6 by 0.7 inches (L x W x H)." It's perfect for co-witness on my S&W; M&P15-22; (standard A2 sites) with this UTG Red dot UTG 3.8" ITA Red/Green Single Dot Sight w/Integral QD Mount

The mounting portion is 6 slots long, but is will mount securely on 1the slot if you use some loctite and do not over tighten the unused end of the mount; Use all the mount if you are mounting a scope. Mine differs for the picture. It has a one peice mount, not 2.

Hi...it only occupies 4 slots..but I returned this product...the laser is weak and cost twice than the cheaper laser that I have which is also produced by the same manufacturer

You will need a standard picatinny rail mount installed to use these. You technically only need 2 rails per mount as each only needs one space for the bolt that clamps down, but I would recommend more so that each can have full grip. A weaver rail is not sufficient.

What kind of mounting rail does it have? I believe it fits picatinny /weaver style rails.

I have it, I cant remember the size rings off the top of my head, but it comes with them anyways. I think they were 1", but as I said all you need to do is clamp it on your rail.

The quickmount is 2 inches long. The total space you need is dependent upon what you are mounting it behind. I have mine mounted behind a sightmark reflex sight and need 3 inches of rail to get it done.

Vernon...the mounts extend quite a bit further than the rail itself. So "measure twice" and "install once"/LOL

The mount interface only covers 3 slots, but I used the 7 slot rail (L3) to avoid anything snagging under the pressure switch end of the light as easily. FWIW, the sand color of the light is not a match for Magpul's FDE furniture, so I would order black if I did it again.

You can buy a short section of Picatinny rail, and mount it to the stock directly. This product will not achieve the results you want.

I have mine on a weaver angle mount with 4 picatinny rails, the first strike takes up 5 rails if mounting flush.

I have mounted it on a s&w m&p15 and a custom AR. It should fit on any picitinny rail

It fits a standard picatinny rail. So as long as you have a rail with 3 extra spaces, you're good to go

I don't have a rifle anymore,but I would say 2 in the provided slots they have. because of the center hump in my silverado I don't know about the scope, I think if underneath the seat were the springs ect were high enough a scope would work fine.
