Abstract
A recoil dampening device for a gun sight includes a first rail member adapted to fixedly mount to a firearm, wherein the first rail member has an elongated body portion and a pair of mounting flanges extending outwardly from and longitudinally along the body portion, and 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, wherein the second rail member is adapted to releasably support a gun sight thereon. The sight base also includes at least one 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.
