I have their RM33 Picatinny base on my RMR. I modified a Weaver base for mounting it to my S&W 41. See my photo above.

Here is their RM33 base, which I have. It fits any Picatinny rail:

John, I suspect you and Trijicon are not speaking the same language. They think of a "base" as the attaching mechanism that finishes out the bottom of their RMR sight. You think of a "base" as an attaching mechanism that attaches to your rifle to mate with their RMR. They are two different things.

In your case, you should be able to buy a thin generic Picatinny rib, have it milled to mate with your dovetail, install it on your DR, and you can mount your RMR with the Trijicon RM33 Picatinny base just like on my pistol.

In fact, it should be no big task to hand file a Picatinny rib to fit your dovetail if you don't want the hassle of a gunsmith.

Trijicon also makes a Weaver base, but it is higher than the Picatinny base I chose. A Weaver rib and a Picatinny rib have the same cross section. The difference is in the slots. I slotted my Weaver rib with a hacksaw and files.

I see many other possibilities on their website. https://www.trijicon.com/na_en/products/product2.php?id=Accessories&mid=RMR

One you might consider is their RM62. RM62: RMR Steel Block Mount for Custom Shaping

Any gunsmith should be able to cut that to fit your dovetail. I think this would mount lower, but the disadvantage is that with this base you give up the quick detachable aspect of the sight.

In summary, I think you got frustrated and abandoned your effort too early. The project is quite doable.
