Will a Tasco 1x30 Illuminated 5 MOA REd Dot Sight, Black w/Built-on Dovetail Rail fit on this air rifle. If not is there an adapter for the Red Dot?

This rifle has the 11mm (3/8 in) dovetail ramp. So a red dot sight will fit if it has the same size rail. The weaver size mount on some red dots will require an adapter (Weaver to 3/8" dove tail). Not sure that al red dots can stand up to the recoil of either spring or Nitro Piston air rifles. For this rifle, be cautious of a red dot that is made for weaver mounts.

If you are using the original sight base still on your gun, this fit will work just fine. The old sight is tapped out and the new improved version is inserted into the existing dovetail. If your barrel doesn't have the dovetail, then this product won't work for you.Just an added comment, these Tech Sight products are fantastic non-illuminated sights - love them!

I believe the Marlin has the 11mm (3/8 in) dove tail ramp. This high rise fits the weaver rail which is much wider. It is possible to use an adapter (weaver to dove tail) butI recommend getting a mount that fits without using an adapter. NC star RB-27 fits the dove tail ramps on most .22 and air rifles. Happy shooting!

I own a Colt M4 carbine and I have the M2 front sight. It's factory and I don't want to mess with it. I have a Trijicon and a Bushnell sight, and ordered the UTG-1" adapter rail because the front sight was too high and the ACOG sight was not working. The 1" seems to do the trick for both sights, but I have not been to the range yet. That will tell the story, but I'm sure the problem was solved with the adapter.

It depends on how high up your red dot optic is above the rail. You can easily get a riser rail for a few bucks if it doesn't.

My Tasco 3-9x50 fits in it fine. There is limited clearance between the bell and the rail on my 4-rail full float handguard on the AR, but it does clear, not by much though. I will be installing a .75" spacer in between the mount and the flatop rail.

The scope mount fits picatinny/weaver rail, if you want to install other rail such as dovetail or carry handle, you should choose a adapter for conversion.

I used this to mount a red dot for the same problem that you are describing. The AR I mounted it on has an integrated front iron sight. Like you are describing it interferes but I am not going to be the fool that screws with a iron sight from the SigSauer factory. This rail perfectly raises the sight just above the front sight so that the sight is usable and not a problem. This is definately the way to go. Hopefully I have answered the question let me know if not.

It's made for a picatinny or weaver rail (any standard tac rail) however if ur mounting to an air rifle or crossbow with a smaller dovetail rail ull need an adapter mount.

Red dot sight will not mount on dovetale mount that comes with bow , I don't know why they send them like that . I removed the mount off the bow . I have a small router table ( for wood working ) and set up a dovetale bit and just removed enough for it to fit (the mount is aluminum ).It mounted fine ,but I think the sight is for a rifle . I sighted it in @75 feet and it was dead on ,but beound 75 feet the adjustments are maxed out .I think due the arch of the arrow , were as a bullet shots more flat .I still have'nt figured that out yet !I still like the bow though . If you know some one who works with wood ask them , you could send it back . I hope this was helpful .

By "rail adapter" they are describing the unit itself. It fits on the mag tube and is solid. It is a very well made and functional add on to your shotgun. I have a light on mine....

I don't foresee any problem with a good set of mounts. I have one on my .243 for years and have had no problem. I wouldn't hesitate putting it on my 30.06. BTW - I like the Tasco better than my Leupold in low light conditions.

I mounted it on both a DPMS LR308 and an AR15 I built, both flat tops. The 308 has an A2 front sight, it does not interfere, the red dot sits right on top of the front sight (if your eye is where the rear peep would be, if folded up). I have fold down sights on the 223, but the red dot aligns absolute. I like it better than the lower 1/3 view with the straight mounts..

This picatinny/weaver adapter allows you to install it upon an existing "dovetail" type mount that is already on the weapon. If you do not have an existing dovetail mount on this air gun, it will not work for your particular weapon. GLM

I don't know for sure. A rail came with my AIM sports red dot sight. I put mine on a hand gun.

No Sir, it will not work. You would have to remove the saddle mount thats being used for the red dot

A red dot would be ok however the sights are one of the better features of this air gun. It does have a dovetail for mounting other sights however it is a narrower dovetail designed for air gun optics/rings.
