Quick take

The 2-pack snap-in adapter that converts an 11mm dovetail rail to a 22mm Weaver / Picatinny rail. 34 orders. Low-profile design — fits any flat-topped 11mm rail. The adapters snap into your scope mount or bipod mount, then you mount the part onto the rifle. One purchase, universal Picatinny compatibility for older Diana / Artemis platforms that ship with 11mm rails. Note: requires a flat-top rail; doesn't work on rounded-top rails because the adapter is very low profile.

Why this adapter earns the pick

The 11mm dovetail vs 22mm Picatinny split is the single most common compatibility problem in the PCP world. Older Diana and Artemis platforms ship with 11mm dovetails — that’s what you find on the StormRider, the older Bandits, the PR900W (early versions), and older European spring guns. Modern Picatinny-chassis bipods and scope mounts assume 22mm.

This 2-pack adapter is the cheap, permanent fix. The adapter snaps into a Picatinny scope ring or bipod mount, then the whole assembly clamps onto the rifle’s 11mm rail. Once installed, the rifle effectively has a 22mm rail. Buy this once with your first Picatinny bipod and you’ll never have to think about rail compatibility again.

The low profile is the design choice that lets the adapter work — it raises your bipod/scope by the minimum amount, preserving your sight picture. The tradeoff: the rifle’s rail must be flat-topped, not rounded. Some entry-tier rifles have rounded 11mm rails (more of a stylized dovetail than a proper rail), and the snap-in adapter can’t grip them.

What it pairs with

Rifles with 11mm dovetail rails (where this adapter is the bridge to Picatinny accessories):

  • Diana StormRider (older versions)
  • Diana Bandit (older versions)
  • Artemis PR900W v1 / v2
  • Artemis PP800
  • Older Diana spring guns and CO2 rifles
  • Older Beeman/SMK platforms

Honest trade-offs

Requires a flat-top rail. Won’t grip rounded 11mm rails. Check your rifle’s rail profile before ordering — if the top of the rail is rounded rather than flat, you need a different adapter style.

Adds height to your scope. Even at low profile, the adapter raises the scope/bipod by 3-5mm. For scope rings this changes your cheek weld slightly; for bipods it raises your shooting position by the same amount. Most shooters don’t notice; PRS-style competitors might.

2-pack means you have a spare. The 2-pack pricing is meant for one pair under a scope (front and rear ring), but if you only need one (e.g., for a bipod mount), the second is a spare or fits a second rifle.
