Frequently Asked Questions
What Is A Sight Mount?
A gun sight mount is an accessory or part that provides a solid platform for attaching optical sights, red dot sights, scopes, or iron sights to a firearm. It is designed to keep the aiming device steady and aligned with the firearm barrel, improving accuracy and facilitating target acquisition.
Do I Need an Optic Mount?
Although an optic might not be required to use a firearm with accuracy, they are necessary if you are looking to take the next step in your shooting. An optic mount permits one to take full advantage of modern optics like a red dot, telescopic, holographic, or any other available optics. These help to drastically increase aiming efficiency and shot placement while target shooting, hunting, or in a self-defense scenario. Optic mounts also allow customized fitting of different situational firearm options based on the situation or personal choice.

We understand that including a mount on your weapon could result in different alignment than you’re used to with your sight. However, we remain confident that choosing the right mount for your weapon, utilizing the proper hardware, and using the correct installation will prevent this from happening. Once you install a mount, go to the range and try it to see if you need to make some minor adjustments to your mount or your aim.

Choosing the right sight mount for your gun may seem daunting, and there are a few things to consider before making a selection.
