Vector Optics Dovetail to Picatinny Offset Riser Adapter Rail (SCRA-31)
Upgrade your dovetail-equipped air rifle to accept modern Picatinny accessories.
The Vector Optics SCRA-31 Offset Riser Conversion Rail is designed to convert a standard 9-11mm dovetail rail into a Picatinny mounting platform, making it easy to fit modern rifle scopes, red dot sights and other Picatinny-compatible accessories.
Its offset design raises the optic while also providing additional forward mounting space, making it particularly useful where eye relief is limited or when fitting larger optics to compact air rifles.
Machined from lightweight aluminium alloy with a durable matte black finish, the adapter offers an excellent balance of strength and weight. The integrated recoil stop pin helps prevent movement on compatible airguns, although we recommend this mount for low or non-recoiling rifles such as PCP and CO₂ airguns rather than spring-powered rifles.
The see-through design also allows greater visibility beneath the mount where rifle and optic combinations permit.

Who is it for?
The SCRA-31 is ideal for shooters wanting to modernise an older dovetail-equipped air rifle without permanently modifying it. By converting to a Picatinny rail, it opens the door to a huge range of modern optics and accessories while the offset design offers additional flexibility when setting up eye relief on compact rifles.
Please Note: We recommend this adapter for low or non-recoiling airguns such as PCP and CO₂ rifles. While it features an integrated recoil stop pin, heavy spring recoil may exceed the intended design limits.
Disclaimer: Proper Use of Scope Mounts on Recoiling Guns
Before using scope mounts on recoiling guns, such as spring/gas ram air rifles, rim/centerfire guns, and blowback airguns, please read and understand the following disclaimer:
Creep Risk: The use of dovetail mounts on recoiling guns may result in creep due to the absence of anti-recoil locking pins. Creep is the gradual movement of the mounts along the gun's rail during recoil.
Recommendation: It is strongly recommended to use recoil arrester blocks or recoil stoppers to mitigate the risk of mount creep. The Vector Optics Riflescope Recoil Stopper (SCOT-15) is one such product that can help stabilize your scope mounts.
Alternative Solution: An alternative solution to prevent mount creep is to convert your dovetail rails to Picatinny rails. Picatinny rails offer a more secure attachment and eliminate the need for recoil pins and arrester blocks.
Adapter Rails: You can find dovetail-to-Picatinny rail conversion adapters, such as the Eagle Vision Dovetail to Picatinny RIS Conversion Rails. These adapters provide a stable platform for your scope mounts, reducing the risk of movement during recoil.
User Responsibility: It is the user's responsibility to ensure that the chosen mounting solution is appropriate for the specific firearm and shooting application. Improper use may lead to damage to equipment, decreased accuracy, or potential safety hazards.
Consultation: If you have any doubts or concerns regarding the compatibility of your chosen scope mounts with your firearm, consult with a qualified gunsmith or a knowledgeable professional in the field.
Disclaimer Acceptance: By using dovetail mounts on recoiling guns, the user acknowledges the potential risks and accepts full responsibility for the choice of mounting solution and any consequences that may arise from its use.
Remember, safety should always be a top priority when using firearms and related accessories.
