Dovetail to pic rail adapter

Post by Shootermick » 18 Nov 2019, 7:53 pm

Has anyone used a dovetail to pic rail adapter? If so, what type/brand and where did you purchase it? I want to put a spare red dot on an old Brno model 2 .22.

Yep, a few different types. No brands, just Ebay.

Yep, I've got one right here beside me on the desk.
I bought it from my LGS to put on an Anshutz.

And,,,,,, it doesn't have a brand, so I'm guessing the LGS also buys stock from China.

I got an ebay version, and found the quality was poor. In the bin it went. I could not make it work on the Savage combo gun.

I bought one from Rebel Gun Works for $50 instead of $10, and it is far superior in quality.

Thanks, I’ve been looking at Rebel Gun Works. Which one did you purchase?

This one suited what I needed for an old Savage Model 24 combination gun.

Thanks for that. I’ll have to wait til I get home from this work stint and measure the dovetail. I found the measurement details on the CZ site and now know how to measure it up to make sure I get the right size.

Bruno fouad be 10mm.

Euro manufacturers are 10mm, the US are 3/8th which is close enough to 11mm. For the rim fire.

One exception I know is CZ American in 452/455 which was made for the American market and came with a 11mm rail. From 457 cz went back to 10mm for all its rifles.
