Speaking of Red dots, anyone have a Docter mount for a Heym?

Didn't want to hijack Todd's thread.

I have a Trijicon which fits but I'd also like to be able to use my Leica red dot, which uses the Docter footplate. Chris at HeymUSA doesn't have any Docter mounts.

I assume these are labeled according to the clamp-clamp tightened distance and not the rib width? The appropriate Trijicon mount is 8.3 mm tightened clamp-clamp, the rib is 11.68 mm wide. The Trijicon "for 11-12 mm ribs" is 11.48 closed which doesn't clamp on anything, which makes me think the number is related to the tightened clamps and not the rib.

Anyone got one?

Optics Trade has EAW and Rusan mounts that will work for an 11mm dovetail. The Rusan fits my Valmet barrels.

Not sure which model you are looking at, but my Heym 26b o/u has a 13.15mm rail. I can use either the scope or the Doctor Optic Red Dot. The mount for the Doctor Optic is a genuine Heym.

Hope this helps, couple pics for future ref.

I ordered 2 of those Rusan mounts several years ago. One for my Merkel (15mm) and one for my Sabatti (11-12mm).
I have only mounted and used the Merkel, a QD version and have been pleased with it.
