£10.00
The Vector Optics Dovetail to Picatinny Scope Mount Clip-In Rail Adapters (SCRA-06B) are a must-have for shooters and airgun enthusiasts looking to bridge the gap between older dovetail rails and modern Picatinny accessories. These adapters are ideal for upgrading older airguns with a newer scope or accessory that utilizes the Picatinny system, bringing versatility and enhanced flexibility to your setup.
As the airgun industry slowly transitions to Picatinny rails—the military standard—these adapters provide a simple yet effective solution for using more advanced optics and accessories on airguns still equipped with dovetail rails. Sold as a set of two, each adapter clicks securely into place on the Picatinny mount and is held by a spring-loaded design for easy, reliable positioning on your dovetail rail.
Additionally, these adapters come equipped with an anti-recoil pin that can be adjusted for a solid grip on spring rifles, ensuring your scope stays securely in place. They are also known to work with BSA's 13mm dovetail rails, though users should be aware that the non-standardized nature of dovetail rails may result in varying levels of compatibility.

Disclaimer for Dovetail Rail Compatibility
Disclaimer for Dovetail Scope Mounts: Compatibility Alert
Dovetail mounts are crafted to offer broad compatibility with most dovetail rails. However, it's essential to note exceptions in rail dimensions used by specific gun manufacturers.
Manufacturers like BSA and GAMO employ a 13mm dovetail rail (measured at 13.5mm), while FX and Walther utilize a 9.5mm dovetail rail. These dimensions differ from the standard 11mm dovetail scope mounts.
Fitting standard dovetail mounts onto oversized dovetail rails may lead to incorrect gun/mount/scope alignment. On the other hand, fitting them onto undersized rails could result in sliding or rocking when installed.
For firearms featuring these over/under-sized dovetail rails, Vector Air recommends either utilizing equal pull mounts like BKL or considering the conversion to the modern and standardized Picatinny RIS (Rail Integration System). Ensuring proper compatibility guarantees an optimal shooting experience.
Proper Use of Scope Mounts on Recoiliing Guns
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-05) 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.
