UTG Universal Dovetail To Picatinny/Weaver Reviews

Solid mount,amazing machining

Others mentioned that it does not work on an airforce texan.It does but you have to put the bolts extremely tight.

I really like the generous room for the offset, with a lot of smaller or shorter scopes it's very necessary for proper I relieve. The rail comes very tight and with spreader bolts much like be much like BKL The rail comes very tight and with spreader bolts much like be much like BKL and the quality is very comparable aswell. The stopping pin is a nice bonus although it didn't work for the proper offset I need on my Crossman. Not a game changer I think I'll be fine without using that. The instructions were very easy to read and follow and it came with torque specs.

It's great the way it is but maybe spec it to strictly picatinny.

The instructions are kind of tricky to find in the packaging. They're in between the outer and inner cardboard.

Nothing.

Make it a two-piece base so it will actually hold onto a dovetail rail.

Completely useless. The base of this is a single piece, so there is actually no way to tighten it to the rail. I tried putting it on an Airforce Texan to use Picatinny rings to mount the scope, and it just would not grip the rail. By the instructions, they want you to run the long screws all the way through and use them to, I don't know, bend the solid, one-piece aluminum base to squeeze the dovetail? The thing just doesn't work.

Solid mount with a very nice set-up.

Mounted this on my Nitro Piston Rifle and it's doing great. No shifts in point of aim after several hundred shots. Solid mount with plenty of clearance for large diameter scopes.

I like the adjust ability of the adapter you can easily adjust the scope forward or backward for eye relief.

Nothing.

This UTG Universal Dovetail to Picatinny / Weaver Adapter works grate on my Umarex Octane.

works good

This UTG picatinny mount does exactly what it is intended to do, at least when mounted in a standard 11mm grooved receiver, and at least when mounted in the crisply executed and finely machined grooves of quality receivers. Out of the package the mount is just a bit wider than the 11mm grooves, so in my experience there was no need to widen the mount further. The directions that are included are very clear, both as to text and photographic illustrations. Follow them precisely and deliberately, and the mounting should succeed perfectly. Tighten the four long machine screws slowly, deliberately and sequentially, rotating between them to maintain an even tightening along the length of the mount. I found this mount to be precisely engineered and handsomely finished. It mounted very solidly, and did exactly what it claimed to do. I was entirely satisfied with the result.

Nothing.

As for the claim of its being a "universal" mount, I cannot speak to that. However, I am not certain than I would wish to mount this on a 3/8 inch receiver, as I might be a bit concerned that tightening it down to 9.9mm might over-stress the aluminum, even if executed slowly and carefully, as a number of reviewers have complained. Also, be aware that not all grooved receivers may be machined as crisply, deeply, exactly and uniformly as others. The UTG is a precision product designed for a precise application.

Fit straite and solid better then the texan rail

Nothing

Great for the texan

Easy to mount on dovetail rail .

Maybe make a solid pin instead of set scew .

I like the picatinny rail from utg . Not difficult at all to mount .

Very solid and well made, clamps on very tight.

nothing

well built & sturdy

nothing

great value

This adapter rail has helped me mount anything on all of my Airforce air rifles. Just don't over tightened the screws or they'll stripped easily.

Change the screws type to quick mount with lever types.

Be sure to mount it with the longer end pointing to muzzle or your zeros will be very wierd.

Picatinny/Weaver rail system, of course. UTG makes a great product, well worth the price.

Nothing, worked great for my purpose.

I used this to change my Gamo Swarm Maxxim from a dovetail to this rail system. I did not remove the RRR rail, I just added this Universal Rail on top then attached 1" Quick-Detach Rings, Medium, Weaver/Picatinny, See-Thru, Law-Enforcement Grade rings. This rail plus these rings brought my scope to the perfect height. With the RRR Rail I needed my scope mounted farther back for the proper eye relief and this Rail worked perfectly, I now have a well made solid Picatinny/Weaver rail on my Gamo.

Mount design is well thought out and strong. Machining is well done. For the money you get a very good mount that will provide a great base for your optics. This mount was put on a Benjamin Titan 22 cal.

None

Works well. It attached to the lower and smaller dovetail without a problem. Holds on very tightly. The weaver style scope mounts go onto the top rail without a problem.

Nothing.

The slots across the adapter are for a cross bar that helps hold weaver style scope mounts on. Once the cross bar is in the slot the scope doesn't move about. This fit well on my scope.

Works as advertised. Consider the additional scope height in your decision. Read the instructions before beginning. Mounts solidly with no slippage.

Nothing

Be sure to take into consideration the additional scope height.

Every thing , it was great

Maybe a little better information on how to install

Nope good to go.

Works well for short rail

Nothing

This adapter mount is indeed UNIVERSAL! Once I figured out how to use it, I love it! It fits everything in my inventory of air guns with a dovetail from the narrowest Crosman CO2 pistol to some oversize break-barrels. It allows me incredible flexibility to mount pistol scopes way forward, scout scopes in the middle, or the shortest rifle scope way back next to my eye, and Red Dots etc anywhere I want. I am an old codger who has been shooting airguns for more than 60 years and am always finding a "better" sighting device or changing my eye relief a tad and this allows me great flexibility. At my age, what else have I got to do. LOL

The mounting instructions are very inadequate, as others have said. I almost gave up at first and returned mine. The loose fit that some complained about can easily be solved by taking the long screws out of the side the came in, removing the short fat screws and inserting the long screws in where the short fat ones came out, Then u gently snug the long screws one at a time in order using the supplied torque wrench till the mount no longer moves. Snug down the top screws with the supplied allen wrench and u r done. Instructions 4 widening the base r adequate but, I feel that again it should talk about then removing the short fat screws/switching sides on the long screws etc as described above. A reviewer from 2016 talked about a video, but I never found it.

If u r like me and can't leave well enough alone, eventually this might break or screws might strip taking it off and on, since it is not held on with a "side plate" like many others but, the price is good enough that I will simply buy more if that happens. Heck, I will likely buy more anyway, now that I understand it. Maybe I will just buy one for each airgun I own. Very well designed I think after all.

This a really good made item. I have paid triple the price for a rail adapter that wasn't this solid. And the length is great to, in case you want to mount a really big scope. I found this very easy to mount and with four screws there's no way this rail is going anywhere. So if you have a magnum rifle like the Hatsan 135, which is well know for destroying scopes, you can be at ease knowing the scope may die on you, but it's not gonna move.

Not a thing, it's perfect right out of the box, or blisster pack:)

This really is a well built rail mount. It'll hold any scope you can mount on it.
