BKL 3/8" or 11mm Dovetail Reviews

Excellent mount! Solved all of my problems with a B2 springer clone that was eating every other mount I've tried. Hasn't moved at all after several hundred shots and feels like it's part of the rifle.

nothing

great piece of hardware that will be welcome to any springer's collection.

Well built. Fits perfectly.

None

Appeared to be heavy duty adapter.

Nothing

Sturdy and clamps well.

Nothing

Distances between slots would be helpful. Had to mill in slot to fit UTG T reticle scope with quick release clamps. Slots in adaptor did not line up with quick release clamp rods. After modification everything worked great.

Looks good, 6 screws definitely lock it down! Also the spreader holes were very helpful getting it installed.

nothing!

It's well made, light, and holds on great! I put it on my browning 800 and it was about 1/4" long, so I had to do a very easy bottom corner mod, but with the spreader holes it slipped right on and fits great!

If you have trouble keeping your scope on your springer this should be the trick!

It needs to be a little longer.

It works good.

Appears high grade Aluminum base with steel alloy fasteners; made in USA; Upon proper installation with "appropriate" torque on the fasteners this is a solid base adapter even without the stop pins*** Looks great and adds to inherent accuracy of my airguns; 50 yd kill zone no problem;

Could be 15-25 mm longer for added adjustability at same price points; silver finish option at PA;

Used for my HW97 dovetails; I torqued fasteners on by "feel" with a T-handle tool; MUST tighten the bolts Evenly for best application so as NOT to strip the base; Used a "touch" of Moly grease on bolt threads to ease the torquing "systematic process";

extremely solid and well built, once it's clamped on tight, its not going anywhere! Also has lots of room for mounting accessories, i have a bipod and a laser/flashlight combo on mine.

it's not cheap, but it is worth it!

if you need an adapter, this is definitely a good choice. Looks like it was made specifically for my Condor.

very strong !! BKL make the best scope or rail accessories i have ever used.

none

if you buy this you should know that it is very high ,, you must have the shortest rings to make sure your do not run out of elevation adjustment on your scope ,,, but it does not move or slide no scope stop is not needed ,, not even on any magnum springer

The best there is for strength. It will NOT slip and is the perfect height.

Could cost a bit less.

nope

Everything

Nothing

Worth the money

6 screws. Rounded bottom Very snug fit. Care was taken in designing and manufacturing of this product.

Not a thing. It is better than expected.

Made in USA. The bottom of the mount is rounded not flat. fit perfect on my .22 titan with bugbuster scope.

Had gone through 4 pairs of dovetail mounts attempting to scope my Walther LGV Challenger. All came loose within a short period of time, baffled as the LGV has little recoil compared with my other springers, I was reaching my wit's end. Fortunately I came upon a review, https://www.pyramydair.com/blog/2013/03/walthers-new-lgv-challenger-breakbarrel-spring-air-rifle-part-5/ Part 5 by Tom Gaylord. Mr. Gaylord explains the need for mounts that suit the shape/size of the LGV's barrel. Mr. Gaylord stated he used the BKL Dovetail to Weaver Adapter on his LGV. I placed my order as soon as I finished reading the review. Two hundred plus rounds later the mount is solid as a rock. Thank you Mr. Gaylord and Pyramid Air for the review and BKL for a fine, dependable mount. This will be my mount of choice as I begin to adapt all my rifles for Weaver mounts and for that Air Arms TX 200 I hope to own one day!

excellent mount

Excellent quality, just like all the other BKL mounts that I have purchased. Always centers up because is is all one piece of metal, as opposed to other mounts which are two separate pieces. When in doubt, always get a BKL mount if you have the cash to spare.

I wish there was some option for a stop pin on these larger mounts. I understand why they aren't on the two piece mounts, but there are lots of places on these larger mounts to drill the necessary hole.

Yes, you can use these larger unitized mounts on powerful spring airguns, even though there is no stop pin. BUT, when you are installing it you need to tighten all six of the screws well beyond when you think they are tight. If you just tighten them to what you would normally think of as tight, it will drift back! Keep going though and tightening each screw until you feel like the allen wrench is going to break, and then go back and tighten them again.
Once I finally tightened the screws down far beyond what I could imagine was possible, it has not moved even a millimeter. I have shot about 250 pellets through it so far, and no movement.

Very solid and well made product. The adapter works as advertised, no movement on the scope attached to my Browning Express 800 pistol. High quality piece!

Nothing.

Please read the instructions on applying this to your dovetail very carefully, I learned the hard way that this has to be applied exactly as the instructions indicates. Not easy like the 2 piece adapters.

fits perfect on airforce pcp guns great scopes, bipods,lasers, and flashlights ect... once on never moves

also make longer ones like 6" - 9" or something

its great love it have nothing bad to say about it

Made in the USA,like a rock,CHEAP!!!!! If you dont believe it try a bunch of cheap made ones first.

nothing

Just buy a BKL first and skip all the aggravation.Lifes too short.

High quality, fit and finish are exceptional.

Maybe a lower price, but the price is reflective of the quality. A longer version would be nice as well, maybe a 5" and a 6" to allow longer spacing of the scope rings.

I bought this to install a UTG 4x16 SWAT scope on my Beeman Sportsman and it worked like a charm. I did have to use the "expansion" holes to open the adapter up enough to get it onto the dovetail of the gun, but it went right on and clamps very securely. I didn't use Locktite and after a few hundred rounds it is still holding tight.

Definately is on,and is on to stay! Was a little difficult to get on the 11mm rail, but is on and very secure. Really with very powerful airguns you need a weaver base and this is really a top of the line mount!

Nothing!

A little hard to put on, but worth the effort! Once you get it put on you will be glad you did!
