Abstract

A sight mount for a firearm includes a base, and a rearwardly extending mounting portion for supporting a removable secondary optic mount. The base includes dovetail rails for securing the base to a firearm, and a mount position for accepting an electronic optic. The rearwardly extending mounting portion has transverse slots which follow the 1913 Picatinny specifications. The base serves as a mount point for up to two optics, the primary and secondary optics. The primary optic being a non magnified electronic optic and the secondary optic such either a night vision device or magnifier. The extended mounting position utilizes a small, light weight ring or other apparatus as is appropriate to hold onto the secondary optic. By using one base for both optics weight is reduced and the secondary optic when remove provides a stream lined package.
