Scope mounts for 13.5 mm Dovetail

General description:

Dovetail is a special platform on rifle's receiver, which enables installment of mounts for various rifles. This unique design is notched onto the rifle's receiver, barrel or slide. 13.5 mm dovetail is designed on some combination rifles and also on some rimfire rifles. For example: CZ 584, Tatra, Brno 2 and other similar rifles.

Physical properties and dimensions:

For a better hold on the rifle, upper side of the dovetail is wider than lower side. Dovetail dimensions are measured at the upper side, which is wider, in our case 13.5 mm. Generally, the dovetail design offers a possiblity of mount installment without screws going into the receiver. Scope mounts simply clamp on the dovetail, with sufficient force so there is no movement during recoil. Dovetail slopes are at an angle of 30 degrees. For a more clear understanding, please see the attached image below. On combination rifles, 13.5 mm dovetail is usually designed in length of approximately 5 cm at the top of the barrels Dovetail style (for example CZ 584). As for rimfire rifles, 13.5 mm Dovetail is designed with two separate dovetail parts (for example Brno 2).

When reattaching the scope on the rifle, point of impact shifts up to 10 cm on 100 m. Usually, Detachable Mounting options are designated as QR (quick release) or QD (quick detachable) abbreviations.

Detachable Ring mounts:

Detachable Rings mounts are designed with simple metal levers, which are used for quick remove from the rifle. These mounts straightforwardly clamp on the 13.5 mm Dovetail. Final position of the levers can usually be switched without the change of the clamping force on the Dovetail.

Mounting bases:

Picatinny rails:

The Picatinny rail is on a good way of becoming a global standard for mounting since it was invented in 1995. Developed on the Weaver template, the biggest advantage of the Picatinny rail is the usage across its entire length, unlike Weaver which has predesignated slots for mounting, limiting its usability and versatility. Ease of use and interchangeability are also its assets. Picatinny has slots evenly placed, namely exactly 5.23 mm one from the other and 3 mm deep. Because of this, the mounting is identical on all firearms using the Picatinny standard. Picatinny rail can accommodate all types of mounts, also those designed for Weaver standard.
