MIL-STD-1913 rail
Hoyt In-Line Picatinny sight mount
Hoyt mounts an in-line sight on a Picatinny rail on the riser, not on the Mathews dovetail slot.
How it mounts
| Mount type | Picatinny rail on the riser, MIL-STD-1913 pattern |
|---|---|
| Slot width | 0.206 in (5.23 mm) |
| Slot spacing | 0.394 in (10.01 mm) centre to centre |
| Sight interface | Picatinny clamp or a QuickLink adapter on a dovetail sight |
| Not interchangeable with | Mathews Bridge-Lock dovetail slot |
Hoyt's in-line sight mounting uses a Picatinny rail rather than the through-riser dovetail slot Mathews uses. The rail follows the MIL-STD-1913 pattern, so the slot geometry is the same standardised 0.206 in slot on 0.394 in centres used across firearms optics.
A dovetail sight does not drop straight onto a Hoyt Picatinny rail. It needs a Picatinny base or a QuickLink adapter that converts the dovetail to the rail. A Bridge-Lock dovetail bar and a Picatinny rail are two different systems, so a Mathews-cut sight will not clamp to a Hoyt in-line rail without that base swap.
