Vector Optics SCRA-73 Mount with MGT (SHIELD) Footprint, 21mm Picatinny, h=28mm – practically classified
Optics are only as good as their interface.
The Vector Optics SCRA-73 mount with MGT (SHIELD) Footprint, 21mm Picatinny, h=28mm is a mounting or adapter part for Vector Optics setups where construction height, footprint, and rail must fit together perfectly.
This is precisely where most errors occur in practice: incorrect footprint, incorrect height, incorrect rail – and in the end, the shooting position or point of impact is not correct.
Why this product?
✔ Check interface carefully by SKU, footprint and rail
✔ Observe 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
- Observe 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
- Useful for red dot, rifle scope, riser or adapter setups
- Not a universal part for every system – compatibility is mandatory
Our Assessment
Our assessment: This product doesn't 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.
Instructor 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 shooting position? Only when these three points match is the mount useful.
Suitable for
Suitable for: Suitable for sport 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 do not clearly match the existing setup.
Features & Operation
- Do not confuse footprints like TEK, MOJ, MGT, VOD or RUM
- 11 mm Dovetail is not Picatinny
- Low mount for flat systems, high/riser mount for AR-like shooting positions
- Tighten screws evenly and check after the first shots

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 - do not classify it as uncompromising government/duty equipment.
FAQ
What is this mount used for?
It creates the mechanical interface between weapon, rail, red dot, or accessory. 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 airguns, small bore 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. Footprint, rail, and device must match. Always check SKU, interface, and compatibility before purchase.
Especially with Vector Optics, the correct classification determines the benefit: choose not based on the data sheet alone, but on use, mounting, target distance, and real-world application.
