ERA-TAC fixed Picatinny rail for 11 mm dovetail

• 11 mm dovetail to Picatinny interface: converts rimfire and small-bore receivers with an 11 mm dovetail into a Picatinny Rail platform, making it easier to fit modern optics and accessories with repeatable positioning.
• Fixed, low-profile construction: the 10.50 mm BH height keeps the optic close to the bore, which helps maintain a natural cheek weld and a more stable shooting position.
• Aluminium body: the rail combines low weight with the rigidity needed for secure scope mounting, so it adds capability without making a light rifle feel top-heavy.
• 145.00 mm overall length: the longer mounting surface gives more room to position rings or optic mounts correctly, which is especially useful when balancing eye relief on compact rifles.
• Made in Germany: built within the ERA-TAC system of precision mounting components, with a design focused on dependable fit and clean integration on sporting and training rifles.

About the ERA-TAC Picatinny Rails Series

ERA-TAC Picatinny Rails form the part of the manufacturer’s range that adapts individual rifle actions to the widely used Picatinny interface. The series includes fitments for a broad selection of rifles, from sporting bolt actions to specialist platforms, and it is built around a simple idea: provide a stable, correctly aligned base for optics without unnecessary bulk. Within the range, short- and long-action versions are offered, and some models are available with 20 MOA inclination for shooters who need additional elevation travel for longer distances.

The series also includes both aluminum and steel rails, allowing the design to be matched to the intended rifle and application. Aluminum versions use a black anodized finish, while steel models are blued, and all are designed to be screwed onto the receiver for a secure mechanical connection. A long-rail variant is intended for forward-mounted optics, including night-vision devices and head-mounted systems, showing that the series covers both conventional hunting setups and more specialized tactical or observation roles. Across the line, the emphasis is on practical mounting geometry, solid attachment, and compatibility with modern optics.

About the ERA-TAC fixed Picatinny rail for 11 mm dovetail

The ERA-TAC fixed Picatinny rail for 11 mm dovetail is designed for rifles that already have an 11 mm dovetail cut into the receiver and need a more versatile mounting standard. That makes it especially relevant for rimfire and training rifles, where the original dovetail limits optic choice. By adding a Picatinny interface, this rail opens the door to a much wider selection of riflescope rings, red dot mounts, and other sighting solutions while keeping the installation straightforward.

Its 145.00 mm length provides useful flexibility when setting ring spacing or positioning an optic for correct eye relief. On compact actions, that extra room can make the difference between a workable setup and a cramped one. The 10.50 mm BH height keeps the optic relatively low, which helps preserve a comfortable head position and supports more consistent shot-to-shot alignment. Because the rail is made from aluminium, it adds mounting capability without the unnecessary weight penalty that can upset the balance of a lighter rifle.

This model is also a practical fit for a wide range of compatible rifles, including several Anschutz, CZ, Kimber, and other dovetail-equipped actions. In use, that means a traditional receiver layout can be updated to accept modern optics in a cleaner and more standardized way. For shooters building a rimfire trainer, a hunting rifle with modern scope rings, or a small-bore setup that needs more mounting latitude, this rail focuses on secure fit, sensible height, and broad optic compatibility.

About ERA-TAC

ERA-TAC is a brand of Recknagel GmbH & Co. KG, based in Bergrheinfeld, Germany. Recknagel was founded in 1867 in Albrechts near Suhl, Thuringia, and has long specialized in accessories for hunting, sport, and tactical firearms. That background is important in the mounting category, where precise machining, repeatable tolerances, and dependable attachment matter as much as the optic itself.

The ERATAC line was introduced in 2010 to serve civilian and military markets with tactical mounts and related accessories. The range includes tactical riflescope mounts, Picatinny rails, backup sights, and weapon accessories. ERATAC mounts are machined from solid aluminum and hard-anodized to Mil-Spec Type III, reflecting the brand’s focus on robust construction and practical field use. In 2022, Dr. Moritz Fehrer acquired Recknagel, continuing the company’s long-standing role in German firearms accessory manufacturing.
