Rail Mount Adapter | Dovetail to Weaver | Vector Optics – Rail adapter

This rail adapter from Vector Optics offers a smart solution for mounting Weaver-compatible accessories on a Dovetail rail. The package includes two adapters that expand your existing mounting system without modifications to the original rail. With a length of 26 mm per adapter, they are suitable for both air rifles and firearms with Dovetail mounts.

Material and technical details

The construction consists of 6063-T6 aluminium, a proven material in the firearms industry that combines strength with low weight. The total weight is just 22 grams for both adapters combined, with a height of 5 mm. The black anodisation protects against corrosion and minimises light reflection. This adapter converts from Dovetail to 22mm Weaver, giving you access to the complete Weaver ecosystem for mounts and accessories.

Practical application and ease of use

In practice, this adapter solves a common compatibility issue. For example, if you want to mount a modern rifle scope with a Weaver base on a classic air rifle with a Dovetail rail, this adapter forms the perfect bridge. Installation requires no drilling or milling – you simply clamp the adapters onto the existing rail. Due to the minimal height, your line of sight remains virtually unchanged, which minimises the need to re-zero after installation.

Who is this adapter suitable for?

This rail adapter is aimed at shooters who want to modernise their older air rifle or rifle with current optics. Owners of vintage air rifles with Dovetail rails in particular benefit from this upgrade without any loss of value to their firearm. Sports shooters seeking flexibility in their optics system will also find a practical solution here that can be quickly removed for transport or maintenance.
