Overview
This modular offset mount is built for AR15 setups that pair a red dot sight with a primary optic, giving the shooter a choice of 35 or 45 degree placement without adding extra components. The taller Plate #7 configuration is intended for optic setups in the 1.9" to 2.2" range, with the 35 degree option bringing the red dot closer to slimmer scopes and the 45 degree option creating more clearance around larger turrets or higher-magnification optics. Mounted to the top Picatinny rail, it keeps the offset optic centered over the bore when the rifle is canted and maintains a lower 1/3 co-witness height. It is a purpose-built solution for hunters and shooters who want a compact backup aiming option integrated into a scoped rifle setup.

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.

- Attaches to the top Picatinny rail of an AR15 rifle.
- Maintains lower 1/3 co-witness height when the rifle is canted.
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° and 45° positions serve different optic-clearance needs, so the best fit depends on the scope size and turret profile already on the rifle.
- This is an optic plate component, so it is intended to work as part of the Arisaka Offset Optic Mount system rather than as a complete standalone sighting solution.
- The stated lower 1/3 co-witness height applies when the rifle is canted for use, which means setup and shooting position are part of how the mount is intended to function.

Frequently Asked Questions
What mounting positions does this offset optic mount support?
It allows the user to select either a 35-degree or 45-degree offset position for a red dot sight, without requiring 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.
Why would a hunter choose the 35-degree versus the 45-degree position?
According to the product data, 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.
Does the optic stay centered when the rifle is canted?
Yes. The product description states that when the rifle is canted to use the offset red dot sight, the optic remains centered over the bore and maintains a lower 1/3 co-witness height.
What does the 'Plate #7 Tall Height (1.9"-2.2")' designation mean?
The provided data includes the plate name and height range, but it does not explain the measurement or specify which optics it fits beyond that range.
