Docter/Noblex mounting standard

About the Docter/Noblex mounting standard

The Docter/Noblex standard, a pioneering design in the field of open reflex red dot sights, is characterized by its four sockets, one in each corner, and two screw holes. Each socket measures 3 mm in diameter. Over time, numerous red dot sight manufacturers have adopted this design, primarily due to the abundance of aftermarket mounting solutions available and its reputation for simplicity and reliability. Its uncomplicated design has established a benchmark for mounting standards within the industry. It is found almost exclusively on open reflex red dot sights.

Modifications of the Docter/Noblex mounting standard

Meopta Meosight III mounting standard

The most common modification of the Docter/Noblex mounting standard is the Meopta Meosight III mounting standard. This variant maintains the same placement for the sockets as the original Docter/Noblex design, but it distinguishes itself by having the screw holes positioned closer towards the rear. Some adapters are designed to accommodate both standards (Docter/Noblex and Meopta Meosight III).
