Default Rail on 460XVR Picatinny or weaver?

I have a 460 XVR performance model. The one with the non-gain twist barrel 10.5".

I am about to order a Zeiss Z-point. But the catch is, its picatinny rail. Anyone know if it will fit? I know the fluted 12" barrel model is picatinny, but can't figure out if mine is. I think its weaver.


Think the zeiss will hold up?

I was told on my 327 that they are one in the same when ordering my Burris fastfire and it works fine. Maybe someone else can chime in.

Called S&W Customer Service, they informed me its a weaver base on the 10.5" Performance Center versions but is picatinny on the 12.5 fluted versions. I hate it when folks do this.

I wish we would just go with the stardard milspec.

I need help also. My brand new Warne rings will not tighten on the weaver rail on my 460 Performance center. I called Warne, they claim they have seen the rails coming in undersize once in awhile. Any ideas? Warne is sending another set to make sure its not the rings. ***?

I have warne maxima's on my 460PM right now. Fits fine. I would measure the distance between the notches and call customer service.

Now, my 460 was recalled a few years ago and they changed out the barrels. so I don't know.

Waiting for Warne to ship me out another set to check. The Tech was very helpful, said to send the old ones back for him to check. On another note, a set Of Weaver rings does fit very well, although these had to be a med height to clear the frame.
