Dentler Base Rail BASIS - Dovetail 11 mm

• Firearm-specific 11 mm dovetail fit: This BASIS base rail is made for 11 mm dovetail receivers, giving a secure interface without improvised adapters and helping the mount sit correctly on rimfire and small-caliber rifles that use this common rail format.
• Part of the Dentler BASIS system: The rail stays on the rifle while the optic sits on a separate BASIS mounting rail, making it practical to move optics between compatible setups while keeping the mounting process consistent and repeatable.
• Steel construction: Built from steel, the rail provides the rigidity needed for a stable optic platform and long service life, especially on rifles that are carried often and reconfigured over time.
• Low-profile matte finish: The black matte surface keeps reflections down and gives the rail a discreet appearance that matches modern hunting and sporting rifles.
• Broad rifle compatibility: With fitment for models such as CZ 452/455/457, Tikka T1x, Sako Quad and selected Anschutz, Savage, SIG Sauer and Steyr rifles, this base rail suits a wide range of rimfire and training platforms.

About the - Series

Dentler BASIS is the company’s core modular mounting system for hunters who want a firearm-specific base rail paired with an interchangeable optic mounting rail. The concept is straightforward: the lower rail remains on the rifle, while the upper rail stays with the optic. That layout makes the system especially useful for shooters who work with more than one sighting setup or who want a cleaner, more organized way to configure a rifle.

Made in Germany and developed around a precise mechanical interface, the BASIS family is aimed at practical field use rather than one-piece universal compromise mounts. Dentler offers the system across a wide range of rifle platforms and optic interfaces, including rails for Aimpoint, Pulsar, Swarovski, Zeiss and Weaver/Picatinny patterns. Within the Dentler lineup, BASIS sits as the fixed-reference modular solution, while BASIS VARIO adds continuous height and windage adjustment. For hunting optics and sporting rifles, the defining characteristic of the BASIS series is its repeatable, model-specific approach to mounting.

About the Dentler Base Rail BASIS - Dovetail 11 mm

The Dentler Base Rail BASIS - Dovetail 11 mm is the rifle-side foundation for building a modular Dentler setup on firearms with an 11 mm dovetail. It is intended for rifles that do not use a conventional drilled-and-tapped receiver pattern but instead rely on an integral dovetail, which is common on many rimfire, training and light sporting rifles. By matching that receiver format directly, this base rail creates the correct starting point for adding a Dentler optic mounting rail above it.

In practice, this matters because the base rail is the fixed reference of the whole system. Once installed, it allows the rifle to accept compatible BASIS upper rails while keeping the mounting arrangement compact and mechanically straightforward. The steel construction supports a stable connection and suits rifles that may see regular handling, transport and optic changes over time. The black matte finish keeps the rail visually unobtrusive and appropriate for both hunting and range use.

This version is especially relevant for owners of rifles such as the CZ 452, CZ 455, CZ 457, Tikka T1x and Sako Quad, along with selected Anschutz, Savage, SIG Sauer and Steyr models listed for the same interface. For shooters building a rimfire hunting optic or training rifle around the Dentler ecosystem, this rail provides the correct firearm-specific base without adding unnecessary bulk.

About Dentler

Dentler was founded in 2011 by Daniel Dentler and is based in Leutkirch im Allgäu, Germany. The company focuses on modular riflescope mounting systems for hunting firearms, with the BASIS and BASIS VARIO families forming the center of its product range. Dentler’s approach is built around separating the rifle-side base from the optic-side mounting rail, so the system can be adapted to different firearms and sighting solutions without abandoning a common interface.

Within this category, Dentler is known for offering model-specific rails and optic interfaces for brands such as Aimpoint, Pulsar, Swarovski and Zeiss, as well as Weaver/Picatinny formats. The company also lists base rails for firearms from makers including Benelli, Browning, Merkel, Heckler & Koch and Rößler. That specialization has made Dentler a recognized name for shooters who want a structured, modular alternative to conventional fixed mounts.
