What are Scope Mount Adaptors?
Scope mount adapters let you bridge the gap between different rail types so you can mount your preferred optics without replacing your rifle's existing base. Whether you're converting a dovetail rail to accept a modern optic or adapting your setup to support tactical accessories, these adapters provide a simple, secure solution.
This category includes a wide range of adapters such as:
- Dovetail to Picatinny adapters
- Weaver to Picatinny rail adapters
- Picatinny to dovetail adapters
- And more versatile mounting options
With the right adaptor, you can expand your setup and mount a wider variety of scopes, red dots, lasers, and accessories, no gunsmithing required.
How Adaptors Work
Scope mount adapters install between your rifle's existing rail and the optic mount you want to use. For example, if your rifle has an 11mm dovetail rail, but your optic requires a Picatinny base, an 11mm dovetail to Picatinny adapter will allow you to make the connection instantly.
Popular adapter types include:
- 11mm to Picatinny adapters -- Ideal for air guns and rimfires that use a dovetail base.
- Weaver to Picatinny adapters -- Allow modern optics to fit on older Weaver-style rails.
- Picatinny to Weaver adapters -- Give you backward compatibility when you need it.
- Picatinny to dovetail adapters -- For shooters who need to switch from tactical to traditional rail styles.
Most adapters clamp directly to the original rail and lock into place with screws or bolts, providing a rock-solid platform for your optic.
Choosing the Right Adaptor
When selecting an adapter, be sure to match the rail type on your rifle with the mount type required by your scope or accessory. Here's what to keep in mind:
- Rail Size -- If your gun has an 11mm dovetail rail, use an 11mm to Picatinny adapter to open up compatibility with a wider range of optics.
- Mounting Direction -- Going from Weaver to Picatinny? Or need a Picatinny to dovetail adapter? Choose the direction that matches your hardware.
- Length & Height -- Some adapters add extra height or length, which may affect your cheek weld or eye relief.
- Build Quality -- Look for adapters made from aircraft-grade aluminum or steel for long-term durability and zero retention.
