EAW Steel Picatinny rail, SIG Sauer 200 STR

About Picatinny Rail

The Picatinny rail system is engineered with slots spaced precisely 5.23 mm apart, ensuring consistent and versatile usage along its entire length. This design allows for easy mounting and universal compatibility, meaning accessories designed for a Picatinny rail will fit perfectly, regardless of the manufacturer or production date. Valued for its affordability, durability, and reliability, the Picatinny rail has become a preferred choice among professionals and military personnel, dominating the scope mounts market in recent years.

The Picatinny design represents a significant improvement over the older Weaver standard. While the Weaver system has only a few predetermined slots, the Picatinny rail features continuous slots across its surface, offering greater flexibility for mounting devices at any location. Additionally, the slots on a Weaver rail are narrower, at 3.8 mm, which means scope mounts designed for Weaver rails can fit on a Picatinny rail. However, mounts specifically made for Picatinny rails do not fit on Weaver rails due to the size difference of recoil stoppers. This compatibility and versatility position the Picatinny rail as a superior mounting solution for various applications.

About the 200 STR

The SIG Sauer 200 STR is a push-feed bolt-action rifle introduced in 2009 and is widely used for sport shooting in Scandinavian countries. It features a modular design for easy dismantling and switching between barrels and trigger groups. The rifle's receiver is made of single-piece steel, and it uses a bolt with six locking lugs that lock directly into the barrel, enhancing strength and safety. The barrels are steel-hammer-forged from chromium molybdenum. The SIG Sauer 200 STR includes a box magazine that holds up to five rounds and a pull-adjustable two-stage trigger. It also comes with adjustable stock features, including the cheekpiece and shoulder pad. All SIG Sauer 200 STR receivers come with two holes on the front and a dovetail placed along the rear mounting surface. The rifle has a factory dioptre mounted to the dovetail surface and a globe sighting line. It offers barrel lengths of 670 mm (26.4 inches), 700 mm (27.6 inches), and 740 mm (29.1 inches).

Design of the Rail

The EAW Steel Picatinny rail, SIG Sauer 200 STR, is crafted from steel, providing exceptional hardness and durability compared to aluminum. This ensures a higher degree of repeatability with minimal wear over time. The rail features 13 slots and 2 mounting holes, all secured with 6-48 threading. A unique central channel allows the simultaneous use of the rifle's iron sights, providing a reliable backup option without needing to remove the rail when there is nothing mounted on it. This Picatinny rail is firmly attached to the rifle via 11 mm dove-tail on the back side of the receiver and with two screws on the front side of the receiver.

Mounting Instructions

Clean the rifle's receiver thoroughly with a cleaning fluid, such as acetone, to remove all stains, grease, and oil. Once the surface is clean and dry, verify that the screws fit both the rail and the receiver holes. Before mounting the rail, apply a minimal amount of thread-locking fluid (278 or 648) to the screws, avoiding any contact with the mounting holes. Carefully clean any excess fluid around the rail using the cleaning fluid. Using a torque driver, tighten the screws to the appropriate torque (up to 3 Nm/26.5 in-lbs). If you require any mounting tools, you can find them on our Rifle Scope Mounting Tools page.
