Egw Sight Mount For Vortex Viper/Venom Fits Desert Eagle Pre2017
$44.99
The EGW Sight Mount for Vortex Viper/Venom is a dovetail-mounted adapter designed to let you run modern red dot sights on your pre-2017 Desert Eagle. If you want to upgrade from iron sights to a Vortex red dot without gunsmithing, this bolt-on solution removes your factory rear sight and replaces it with a compatible base for your optic. The progressive-taper dovetail is engineered for smooth installation—no alterations to the gun required—and you can swap back to your original rear sight anytime.
Built for shooters who want a faster sight picture and lower 1/3-cowitness capability on a classic platform, the EGW mount bridges the gap between vintage Desert Eagle ergonomics and modern optics. The mount accepts Vortex Viper and Venom red dots out of the box, and compatible hardware is included for a complete install. The set screw design and progressive taper mean the mount seats securely without you needing to force anything into place.
Installation is straightforward: remove the rear sight, install the EGW mount into the dovetail, and torque the provided screws to spec using the included Allen wrench. A small piece of paper between the red dot and mount during initial assembly keeps Loctite off your optic. The design preserves your gun's originality and reversibility, making it a smart choice if you ever want to return to factory sights.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this mount fit my post-2017 Desert Eagle?
No. This mount is designed specifically for pre-2017 Desert Eagle models. The rear shelf dimension on post-2017 guns is different (.120" versus .187"), so verify your year before ordering.
Can I use this mount with other red dot sights?
This mount is designed for Vortex Viper and Venom red dots. The included screws are button head cap screws sized for those models. Other red dots may have different mounting patterns or screw requirements, so compatibility is not guaranteed.
What's included in the box?
The mount includes 2 button head cap screws for mounting Vortex Viper or Venom sights and the hardware needed for installation. You'll need a 5/64" Allen wrench (not included) to install.
How do I install this without damaging my red dot sight?
Place a small piece of paper between the red dot sight and the mount during assembly to prevent Loctite from bonding the optic to the base. Apply blue Loctite to the mounting screws, then torque them to 15 in/lbs. The paper acts as a barrier and can be removed once the adhesive sets.
