Vector Optics MAV-P08 Mount for Aimpoint Micro Footprint, 21mm Picatinny, h=21mm – practically classified
An optic is only as good as its interface.
The Vector Optics MAV-P08 Mount for Aimpoint Micro Footprint, 21mm Picatinny, h=21mm is a mounting or adapter part for Vector Optics setups where construction height, footprint and rail must fit together perfectly.
This is where most mistakes happen in practice: wrong footprint, wrong height, wrong rail – and in the end, the stock weld or point of impact is off.
Why this product?
✔ Check interface carefully by SKU, footprint and rail
✔ Note Picatinny/Weaver, 11 mm Dovetail or specific adapter logic
✔ Construction height determines head position and sight picture
✔ Always check fit and point of impact after mounting
Key features
- Check interface carefully by SKU, footprint and rail
- Note Picatinny/Weaver, 11 mm Dovetail or specific adapter logic
- Construction height determines head position and sight picture
- Always check fit and point of impact after mounting

Our assessment
Our assessment: This product does not solve an abstract accessory problem, but a concrete setup problem. If the interface is correct, your system will be faster, cleaner, and more repeatable. If it's not, you'll buy twice.
Trainer's tip: read the interface first, then buy.
Check three things: What rail does your weapon have? What footprint does your sight have? What construction height do you need for your stock weld? Only when these three points match is the mount useful.
Who is it suitable for?
Suitable for: Sports shooters and hunters who want to set up red dots, optics or accessories cleanly.
Not suitable for: Not suitable if the footprint, construction height or rail interface does not clearly match the existing setup.

- Do not confuse footprints such as TEK, MOJ, MGT, VOD or RUM
- 11 mm Dovetail is not Picatinny
- Low mount for flat systems, high/riser mount for AR-like stock welds

Scope of delivery
Note:
Always check compatibility, mounting, secure fit and function before use. For optics or point of impact relevant parts, shoot a control series after each mounting. Vector Optics is a strong budget to mid-range solution for civilian applications – not to be classified as uncompromising government/duty equipment.
FAQ
What is this mount used for?
It creates the mechanical interface between weapon, rail, red dot or accessories. Footprint, construction height and mounting interface are crucial.
What is the difference between Picatinny, Weaver and 11 mm Dovetail?
Picatinny/Weaver are 21mm rails for many sport and hunting setups. 11 mm Dovetail is often used for air rifles, small caliber systems and certain hunting/sporting firearms.
Why is construction height important?
The construction height determines your head position and whether you quickly get a clean sight picture. Too high or too low costs speed and comfort.
Do I have to shoot a control group after mounting?
Yes. Any change to the mount or optics should be confirmed with a point of impact check.
Is the mount universal?
No. The footprint, rail and device must match. Always check SKU, interface and compatibility before purchasing.
Especially with Vector Optics, the correct classification determines the benefit: don't choose based on the data sheet alone, but on use, mounting, target distance and real-world application.
