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.

Reviews
An absolute must have for anyone using a scope on a springer. Works brilliantly on my HW77 with 11mm dovetail grooves.
Ordered the scope recoil stopper to prevent the red dot sight fitted to my HW45 pistol from moving during the firing cycle. The stopper is well made and is easy to fit.
The recoil stopper arrived within a few days of placing the order.
