No, the Dovetail mount will Not fit the picatinny rail, you need the non dovetail.
The only significant difference between the Picatinny rail and the similar Weaver rail are the size and shapes of the slots, where the Picatinny rail has square-bottomed slots while Weaver rails have rounded slots.
Picatinny Scope MountIt was redesigned by and for the military. The main difference between the Picatinny and Weaver mounts is that the Picatinny mount is built to exact specifications and tolerances so that they're a universal system. All Picatinny-mount scopes will be interchangeable.
Light Rails:As a result, most of Glock's competitors use a standard Picatinny-spec three-slot rail to offer more flexibility and compatibility than the Glock 19. Even custom frames like the Polymer80 frame for the Glock 19 ditch the Glock rail for a standard three-shot Picatinny.
The Pic rail system is more heavy-duty and built to handle heavier mounts without a loss of performance. The M-LOK system from Magpul isn't quite as hardy, but it is lighter and has more and more tactical hardware being built for it every day.
In 1992, the US military, dissatisfied with rifle mounts being produced by domestic firearms manufacturers, tasked the Picatinny Arsenal in New Jersey with developing the MIL-STD-1913 — the rail that would become known as the Picatinny rail, or Pic rail.
Rail systems on firearms are straight mounting brackets (usually made of strips of metal or polymer) on the gun's receiver, handguard or fore-end stock to allow sliding/variable-position attachment of optical sights and accessories such as tactical lights, laser sights, vertical/angled foregrips and bipods.
On the Picatinny rail you can mount both the Picatinny and the Weaver ring. Weaver rings have recoil stoppers that are 3.8 millimetres wide and also fit on a Picatinny rail. However, it's important to note they'll have a little bit of extra space since they're not as wide.
The outside objective diameter is measured from the bell itself, not the glass. Ring height is from the top of the base to the bottom of the scope tube.
According to Jerry Dill at Farrell Industries Inc., makers of precision bases and rings, "The Picatinny rail allows more versatility for eye relief and mounting options than other systems. It is a standardized system allowing the ability to move scope and other accessories from one firearm to another effortlessly.
Leupold LRW cross-slot rings are built from Strike Forged Steel, made in America to deliver unmatched durability and strength. Leupold CNC machining ensures perfect alignment to Weaver-style bases and the anti-slip grooves eliminate the need of lapping.
Leupold riflescopes are all designed, machined, and assembled in our Beaverton Oregon manufacturing facility. We do not have any other riflescope manufacturing facilities or offices anywhere in the world.
