I had emailed RCI to find out how much their X-RAIL was going to cost. They finally got back to me today. Well the prices are more than double what I was expecting, and there is no way I am buying one now.
For the full length X-RAL... $699, and the compact one $649. Or both compact and full with one mount for $999. Screw that!! It isn't even practical, so why would people pay that much? That costs as much or more than the gun depending on which model you own.
Here is the response from their email.
