Abstract
Disclosed are implementations of a pivot mount for an optical sighting device. A sight support member of the pivot mount is movable between a use position, in which an attached optical sighting device can be used to sight a firearm, and a storage position, in which the attached optical sighting device is vertically offset from the use position.
Claims20
A pivot mount for an optical sighting device, the pivot mount comprising:
- a base configured to releasably engage a mounting interface of a firearm;
- and
- a sight support member rotatably coupled to the base;
- wherein:
- the sight support member includes a pivot portion rotatably connected to the base;
- the pivot portion is configured to rotate about a horizontal axis;
- and
- the sight support member is configured to move an attached optical sighting device between a first position, in which the attached optical sighting device is in a use position, and a second position, in which the attached optical sighting device is in a storage position, both the first and the second positions being laterally offset to one side of the horizontal axis about which the pivot portion rotates, with the second position being vertically offset below the first position.
