Offset Optic Mount
Color: Black
Fits / Used For: Mil Standard 1913 Rail
Manufacturer: Arisaka Defense
Model: An offset optic mount is an accessory used to attach an additional optic, typically a red dot sight, at an offset angle from the primary optic on a firearm. This configuration is often used on tactical and sporting firearms to provide quick access to a secondary sighting system for different shooting scenarios. Here are some key points about offset optic mounts:
Purpose: Offset optic mounts allow shooters to have a secondary aiming solution alongside their primary optic. This secondary optic, often a red dot sight, can be quickly accessed for close-quarters engagements or when a quick target transition is required.
Offset Angle: Offset optic mounts come in various offset angles, with 45 degrees and 90 degrees being the most common. The chosen angle determines the direction in which the secondary optic is offset from the primary optic.
Quick Transitions: The primary advantage of an offset optic mount is the ability to transition rapidly between different sighting solutions. For example, if the primary optic is a magnified scope, the offset red dot sight can be used for close-range targets.
Backup Optic: The secondary optic can also serve as a backup sighting system in case the primary optic malfunctions or if you need to engage targets at different distances quickly.
Mounting Options: Offset mounts are designed to attach to a firearm's Picatinny or Weaver rail system. They often feature quick-detach (QD) levers or locking mechanisms for easy attachment and removal.
Compatibility: Ensure that the offset optic mount is compatible with your firearm's rail system and the specific optics you intend to use. Compatibility with both the rail and optics is crucial for secure mounting.
Zeroing: When using an offset red dot sight, it's essential to ensure that it is zeroed properly. The offset optic should align with the point of impact at the chosen distance.
Use Cases: Offset optic mounts are commonly used on tactical rifles, carbines, shotguns, and competitive firearms where rapid transitions between short-range and long-range targets are necessary.
