Recoil dampening device for gun sight

A firearm for reducing the recoil as transferred to a gun sight mounted thereon, comprising:

• body portion of a firearm having an upper surface;
• a first rail member fixedly mounted to the upper surface of the firearm, the first rail member having an elongated body portion and a pair of mounting flanges extending outwardly from and longitudinally along the body portion;
• a second rail member having an elongated downwardly opening channel that slidably receives the body portion and mounting flanges of the first rail member therein,
• at least one elastically deformable recoil absorbing member disposed between the first rail member and the second rail member, wherein the recoil absorbing member is adapted to reduce the recoil transferred from the firearm to the gun sight when the firearm is fired;
• and
• a gun sight releasably mounted with the second rail member.

• a second rail member having an elongated downwardly opening channel that slidably receives the body portion and mounting flanges of the first rail member therein, the second rail member also having at least one receiving rail that includes a substantially square shaped body portion and a pair of substantially triangularly shaped mounting flanges extending outwardly from the body portion, and that is adapted to slidably receive a gun sight thereon;
• and
• a pair of recoil absorbing members juxtaposed across a length of the first rail member and disposed between the first rail member and the second rail member, wherein the recoil absorbing members are adapted to reduce the recoil transferred from the firearm to the gun sight when the firearm is fired.
