In our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.optics-trade.eu\/en\/?___from_store=si\">web-store<\/a>, an adapter is a rail which converts one standard of rail to another. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"LEFT\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Open Sans, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\">Most <a href=\"https:\/\/www.optics-trade.eu\/en\/mounts\/adapters.html\">adapters<\/a> convert different types of dovetail rails to<a href=\"https:\/\/www.optics-trade.eu\/en\/mounts\/picatinny-rails.html\"> Picatinny rails<\/a>. This is particularly useful for mounting <a href=\"https:\/\/www.optics-trade.eu\/en\/dot-sights.html\">red dots<\/a> because most red dot sights have a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.optics-trade.eu\/en\/mounts\/weaver-picatinny-rings.html\">Picatinny\/Weaver mount<\/a>. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"LEFT\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Open Sans, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\">Bigger adapters can even mount heavier scopes. There is a bigger choice of mounts that fit on the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.optics-trade.eu\/en\/mounts\/picatinny-rails.html\"> Picatinny rai<\/a>l than on the dovetail. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"LEFT\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Open Sans, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.optics-trade.eu\/en\/mounts\/risers.html\">Risers<\/a> basically work in the same way as adapters, but don&#8217;t convert the rail standard, they just make it higher. So, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.optics-trade.eu\/en\/mounts\/risers.html\">risers<\/a> are used when the user wants to gain some height so that the scope can be mounted a little bit higher. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"LEFT\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Open Sans, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\">Most common <a href=\"https:\/\/www.optics-trade.eu\/en\/mounts\/risers.html\">risers<\/a> are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.optics-trade.eu\/en\/mounts\/risers\/shopby\/base_type-11_mm_dovetail.html\">11 mm to 11 mm dovetail<\/a> and Picatinny to Picatinny.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"LEFT\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Open Sans, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\">The fewer mounting components there are, the better it is, but sometimes an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.optics-trade.eu\/en\/mounts\/adapters.html\">adapter<\/a> or a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.optics-trade.eu\/en\/mounts\/risers.html\">riser<\/a> is needed. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"LEFT\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Open Sans, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\">We would like to thank you for your time.
