Picatinny rails - everything you need to know to choose the right one

When mounting a riflescope or night vision optic on your rifle, a Picatinny rail is the most versatile and robust solution. The Picatinny standard (MIL-STD-1913) ensures you can easily switch between different optics without losing your zero. This is especially useful if you use the same night vision device on multiple rifles, as many modern units can store profiles for different rifles.

Our range of Picatinny rails covers several hundred specific rifle models. We carry well-regarded brands such as HG Firearms, Rusan and Nieload, all delivering uncompromising quality. You can choose between a classic steel rail with an extremely durable QPQ finish, or a lightweight aluminium rail machined from aerospace-grade aluminium (7075-T6). Both materials have their advantages depending on your needs and your rifle. If you are unsure which to choose, you can read our guide onsteel vs aluminium Picatinny.
