Plenty of great optics simply won't clamp onto the narrow 3/8" dovetail rails found on .22 rimfire rifles, air rifles, and older sporting guns. The TruGlo TG8953B solves that in one clean piece of hardware, converting that skinny dovetail base into a standard Picatinny/Weaver rail so today's scopes and red dots finally have somewhere to sit. It's machined from aircraft-grade aluminum with a matte black anodized finish, and it bolts on without any modification to your firearm.
Think of this as a translator between two mounting worlds. Rimfire rifles and airguns commonly ship with 3/8" (roughly 11mm) dovetail grooves, while most modern optics are built for Weaver or Picatinny cross-slots. This adapter bridges that gap, opening the door to tactical scopes, lightweight micro dots, and just about any standard optic setup you'd want to run. It measures right around six inches, giving you room to position rings or a red dot base wherever your eye relief lands.
The integrated adjustable recoil lug is the detail that separates this from a basic riser. Even light recoil from a .22 or the spring-piston jolt of an air rifle can nudge an optic out of zero over time. The lug acts as a hard stop, keeping the adapter and your optic from creeping backward under repeated shots. That translates to a mount you can zero once and trust round after round.
Installation is straightforward and the mounting hardware is included in the box, so most folks can handle it at the kitchen table with basic tools. Beyond rimfire and airguns, it's a popular fix for crossbows too, letting hunters pair modern optics with rails that weren't designed for them. If you've been sitting on a scope or dot you couldn't mount, this is the simple, low-fuss part that gets it done.
It's designed for firearms with a 3/8" (about 11mm) dovetail rail, which is common on .22 rimfire rifles, air rifles, and some older sporting guns. It also works well on crossbows that use a 3/8" base. Once installed, it gives you a standard Picatinny/Weaver rail for mounting modern optics.
No, rings are not included with this adapter. It provides the Picatinny/Weaver platform, and you'll add your own rings or a red dot base sized for your optic. The mounting hardware to attach the adapter itself to your dovetail rail is included.
That's exactly what the integrated adjustable recoil lug is built for. It acts as a hard stop that prevents the adapter and your optic from sliding backward as you shoot, which helps your zero stay put. It's a nice touch for anything from rimfire plinking to repeated shots at the range.
Not at all. It bolts onto your existing 3/8" dovetail rail with the included hardware and requires no modification to your firearm. Most people can get it mounted in a few minutes with basic tools.
