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

Considerations & Trade-offs
- Designed for AR15 top Picatinny rail use, so it is not a universal mount for other platforms or rail setups.
- The 35 degree position is intended to sit closer to slimmer, smaller scopes, while the 45 degree position adds clearance around wider turrets or larger, higher magnification scopes; the choice depends on the optic being paired with it.
- This is a plate-based optic mount, so it is only one part of a modular setup and may require matching components already on hand.
- When canted, the optic is described as maintaining a lower 1/3 co-witness height, which may or may not match every shooter’s preferred sight picture.

Frequently Asked Questions
What mounting positions does this offset optic mount offer?
It allows the user to select either a 35-degree or 45-degree offset position for a red dot sight without needing additional components.
What is this mount designed to attach to?
The mount is designed to attach to the top Picatinny rail of an AR15 rifle.
When would I choose the 35-degree position versus the 45-degree position?
According to the product description, the 35-degree position brings the red dot sight closer to slimmer, smaller scopes, while the 45-degree position provides additional clearance around wider turrets or larger, higher-magnification scopes.
