Overview

This modular offset mount is built for AR15 setups that pair a red dot with a primary scope, giving the shooter a choice of 35 or 45 degree placement without adding extra components. The 35 degree option sits closer to slimmer, smaller scopes, while the 45 degree option provides more room around wider turrets or larger, higher magnification optics. Mounted to the top Picatinny rail, it keeps the offset sight centered over the bore and maintains a lower 1/3 co-witness height when the rifle is canted. It is a practical setup piece for hunters and shooters who want a streamlined transition to a secondary optic on a scoped rifle.

Pros

  • Modular design lets you choose 35 or 45 degree offset without extra components.
  • 35 degree position places the red dot closer to slimmer, smaller scopes.
  • 45 degree position offers added clearance around wider turrets and larger scopes.
  • Attaches to the top Picatinny rail of an AR15 rifle.
  • Maintains centered bore alignment and lower 1/3 co-witness height when canted.

Considerations & Trade-offs

  • Modular offset positions are limited to 35 or 45 degrees, so setup is straightforward but not fully adjustable beyond those two options.
  • Designed for a top Picatinny rail on an AR15 rifle, so it is not a universal mount for other platforms or rail types.
  • The 35-degree position is intended to sit closer to slimmer, smaller scopes, while the 45-degree position adds clearance for wider turrets or larger, higher-magnification scopes; the right choice depends on your optic setup.
  • When the rifle is canted, the optic remains centered over the bore and maintains a lower 1/3 co-witness height, which is useful to note when planning sight height and cheek position.
