If these are 16" long, what is preferred mounting? 1 screw in stud in middle of rail and then anchors on the ends?

it depends on the weight you intend to hang from the strip. i am hanging some basic tools and screws with plastic anchors seem sufficient. but as the weight increases, studs is what i would be looking for to anchor the strips.

I was surprised how strong mine turned out using the provided hardware. Mounting as you say would work well, if there is no stud, it will hold most tools, shovels, etc one could fit on it, mounting just to Sheetrock.

The rings I have are about 3/16" above the rail. Meaning that they are obscenely low if you are wanting something tight to the barrel. If you have a scope with larger lenses you may want to go with a midrange height mount.

I would definitely hit two studs.. One is easier but if you hit two you know your tv mount should never fall and you'll be able to use the swivel more confidently.. Standard stud spacing is 16" on center.

First precisely locate the studs and mark the location of the edges. Hold the bar with flanges over the marks, and see if you can get a position that allows two screws at the top of the flange to hit a stud and one hole at the bottom to hit the stud. That is the preferred method. My studs are 16" on center, and did it this way without any wall anchors.

The length of screw needed depends on how you intend to anchor the rail. I used two and a half inch long pan head screws because I was aligning the holes with the wall stud. Ahalf inch for the drywall thickness and 3/8 inch for the rail height leaving at least an inch and a half of screw thread secured into the stud. If you are anchoring the rail to drywall only -- you need to decide on several different drywall anchor choices available to you. I suggest you take note of the hole diameter in the rail and visit your local Lowe's hardware sales person to show you your options.

If you are going through drywall use a 2'' drywall screw into the stud. This will give you about an inch through the Holerail and drywall and about an inch into the stud. I would not just go into the drywall, it will not hold. Studs are 16'' from center to center, Overlap the rail a couple of holes and screw into place at every stud.

I used 3 50lb drywall anchors. The 4th mounting hole lined up with a wall stud. I got them at my local hardware store. Hope this helps.

About 1 1/2 ". I suppose you could use shorter screws in wood. We mounted them into the drywall using the plastic mollies and 1.5 " screws.

It can be mounted to studs on 16 inch centers. The mounting flange has a hole in the center with additional holes and radial slots that will permit some variation to the 16 inch center. They will also permit more than one fastener per flange.

To mount to the rail you will need a screw less than the rail thickness, for example the typical rail is 3/4" to 1' thick so i use a #8 wood screw that is 3/4" as the bracket itself will prevent the screw from coming out the face side of the rail. for the head board itself i use #8 coarse thread screw of an appropriate length as above . these work well.

I think they were about 4" or so long (6 per shelf)...they are basically lag bolts. If you have a 12 volt or better screw gun, you can screw them right into the stud with the proper bit...

I was able to mount on 16" studs. There isn't much room after you hang tv so be sure to have all plug ins before attaching.

yes, studs must be 16" to mount per the instructions provided. Hope this helps!

Apropos of my previous answer....the screws are indeed 16" apart. However, husband still thinks he didn't use two studs to hang it. Frankly, I think the old buzzard is losing his mind.

You just tie them to a rail, but if you want to mount them or remove them quickly, I recommend buying the rail mounts as well. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000MJKKKO/ref=mp_s_a_1_7?qid=1374115827&sr;=8-7π=SL75

Yes you could put the screws in the last holes and that would be 24 inches. I have mine at 16 because that is where my studs were! Most houses the studs are 16 on center, I've not heard of any being 24 on center, what I would do is use two 2x6s and run them across the 24 in gap and go from there! The only thing with that is your TV would be 1 5/8 inches farther out than just the plain mount!

Mine is already mounted so I can't get and edge to edge measurement. I tried eyeballing the outer edges with a steel tape and got 18 3/4" but I'll go with the consensus. The more important issue is to use a good stud finder and locate the EDGES of each stud. Then make sure that a couple of mounting holes on each end are centered within each stud and not too close to a stud edge. As was mentioned, if the studs are not exactly 16" OC, you may have to angle the grab bar. This won't make a difference in the functionality.
