Mounting a red dot on a Desert Eagle used to mean milling the slide or settling for a clunky setup. This EGW mount takes a smarter route. It replaces the factory rear sight in the dovetail, giving you a clean, low platform for a Vortex Viper or Venom with zero permanent changes to the gun. Pull the rear sight, drop in the mount, and you are ready to zero.
This one is machined from 7075 aluminum and finished in a Type III black hardcoat anodize, so it shrugs off the kind of wear and recoil the big .50 and .44 Desert Eagles dish out. It measures about 1.811 inches long and 0.99 inches wide, keeping the footprint tight and the optic sitting nice and low over the bore. The dovetail has a progressive taper, which makes sliding it into place a lot less of a fight than a straight-cut base.
The important detail here is the pre-2017 fitment. These older Desert Eagles have a .187 inch rear shelf behind the dovetail, while post-2017 guns run a .120 inch shelf, so make sure you are matching this mount to the right vintage before you order. Beyond the Vortex Viper and Venom, the mount also accepts Burris FastFire, Docter/Noblex, Crimson Trace CTS-1200 and CTS-1300, and ADE RD3 series optics, so you have room to swap red dots down the road.
Installation is straightforward and completely reversible. Remove the rear sight, seat the mount in the dovetail, tighten the set screw, set your optic on top, then apply a drop of blue Loctite to the provided screws and torque them to 15 in/lbs. A 5/64 inch allen wrench handles the screws, and a rear sight pusher tool makes pulling the factory sight a lot easier. Since nothing is milled or drilled, you can pull the mount and reinstall your iron sight whenever you want.
No. This version is cut specifically for the pre-2017 Desert Eagle, which has a .187 inch rear shelf behind the dovetail. Post-2017 guns use a .120 inch shelf and need a different EGW mount, so double-check your pistol's vintage before ordering.
Not at all. The mount simply replaces the factory rear sight in the existing dovetail, so there is no drilling, tapping, or milling involved. It is fully reversible, meaning you can remove it and put your iron sight back on whenever you want.
It is designed around the Vortex Viper and Venom footprint and also accepts Burris FastFire, Docter/Noblex, Crimson Trace CTS-1200 and CTS-1300, and ADE RD3 series optics. The box includes both button head and flat head screws so you have the right hardware for whichever optic you run.
The provided screws use a 5/64 inch allen wrench, and EGW recommends a drop of blue Loctite with the screws torqued to 15 in/lbs. A rear sight pusher tool is also recommended to pop the factory rear sight out of the dovetail cleanly, though it is not strictly required.
