I have a Trijicon which fits but I'd also like to be able to use my Leica red dot, which uses the Docter footplate. Chris at HeymUSA doesn't have any Docter mounts.

I assume these are labeled according to the clamp-clamp tightened distance and not the rib width? The appropriate Trijicon mount is 8.3 mm tightened clamp-clamp, the rib is 11.68 mm wide. The Trijicon "for 11-12 mm ribs" is 11.48 closed which doesn't clamp on anything, which makes me think the number is related to the tightened clamps and not the rib.

Anyway, I know I can get another Trijicon and conversion plate (but that's not any fun). Does anyone have a base that would fit, or send me in the right direction for one? Thanks.
 
frank a reached out to a friend in Germany to see if he could find one. Will let you know answer.

Frank, you can find all of the above, and more, at Optic Trade, and order straight from the US. I have done it several times :)

I too have ordered from Optic Trade and the shipping was quite fast. Bought a Doctor mount for the CZ 19mm dovetail and it fits perfect.
 
I am looking for a Trijicon RMR mount for my Heym 89B and Chris at Heym USA has told me he is looking for one but so far he doesn’t know when Heym will have one. I did look at Optic Trade web site but nothing comes up under a search for Trijicon Heym mount. I will call them tomorrow but wonder anyone here has a recommendation.

I wanted to suggest optics trade, but @One Day... has been faster! (y)
 
If you have a german claw mount now, I recommend getting the german claw ERA mount above pictured, bottom left. You'll have costs associated with fitting the claws, but it is wonderful to swap optics. The last thing you want is to clamp an optic to your rib crudely on a fine double.

The thrill of the stalk. The stillness of the wait. The age-old rhythm of the hunt.
It’s not just about the size of the trophy. It’s about the stories that will be told for years.
We believe the memories are the true prize. The small things are the big things.
And we’re proud to offer a hunting experience that honours exactly that.

Not sure your price range. Have a 375 H&H with a muzzle brake. Nice rifle only fired a few times. Also a Mossberg 375 Ruger its been used and shows a few hunts on it.
