Fortmeier UIT Mount Adapter for Anschütz and Match Rifles
The Fortmeier UIT mount adapter is specifically designed for precision rifles with a UIT rail, such as Anschütz match rifles and other high-end competition weapons. This adapter enables the use of the robust Fortmeier bipod on weapons designed for the highest accuracy in competitive shooting.
What is a UIT Rail?
The UIT rail (Union Internationale de Tir) is a standardized rail system primarily used on match and competition rifles. This rail fundamentally differs from Picatinny and Weaver rails and therefore requires a specific adapter.
The UIT system is commonly used on:
- Anschütz match rifles (1827, 1903, 1907, 1913, 1918 series)
- Walther KK-series competition rifles
- Feinwerkbau match rifles
- Other European precision rifles for 50m and 300m disciplines
Perfect Match for Precision Shooting Disciplines
Rifles with UIT rails are primarily used in controlled competition environments such as:
50-meter smallbore competitions: ISSF disciplines where precision to the millimeter makes the difference between gold and silver. The Fortmeier bipod combined with this adapter provides the stability needed for consistent 10s.
300-meter competitions: At longer distances, the stability of your support point becomes even more important. The UIT adapter ensures a solid connection between your match rifle and Fortmeier bipod.
Benchrest competitions: While traditionally front rests are often used, some benchrest shooters choose the flexibility of a high-quality bipod.
Silhouette shooting: For disciplines requiring quick transitions between targets, a bipod with UIT adapter offers the perfect combination of stability and mobility.
Simple Yet Robust Attachment
The UIT adapter slides easily into the UIT rail under your weapon and is then locked according to the UIT standard click system. No hassle with screws during competitions, you place the adapter and it's secured.
The Fortmeier Versa-Pod interface system then enables tool-free placement and removal of the bipod itself. This is convenient when switching between different shooting positions or storing your bipod during transport.
German Precision Meets German Tradition
Both Fortmeier and many UIT rail rifles come from Germany, a country with a rich tradition in precision shooting and high-quality weapon production. This adapter literally connects two German precision products.
The anodized aluminum of the adapter is processed with the same precision as the rifles it's mounted on. Tolerances are minimal and fit is exact, essential for maintaining repeatability between shots.
Low Profile for Optimal Sight
The UIT adapter has a low profile that perfectly matches match rifle design. The adapter doesn't protrude and doesn't negatively affect your weapon's balance. The center of gravity remains where it should be for optimal handling.
When using a scope, the field of view remains completely clear. The adapter and bipod are designed not to appear in the sight picture, even at the higher magnifications typical in precision shooting.
Durability for Seasons of Competition
Competition shooters often fire hundreds of rounds per season during training and matches. The Fortmeier UIT adapter is built to withstand this without wear or loss of functionality.
Hard anodization protects against scratches and wear from regular mounting and dismounting. The mechanism continues to function smoothly, season after season, competition after competition.
Compatibility and Additional Accessories
The UIT adapter is compatible with all Fortmeier bipods (H171, H184, and H210). For match shooting, the H171 or H184 is often recommended due to their more compact format and lower weight, but choice depends on your specific discipline and preference.
Note: some UIT rails may vary slightly in dimensions between manufacturers. The Fortmeier adapter follows standard UIT specifications and fits the vast majority of UIT rails. If in doubt about compatibility with your specific rifle, please contact us.
