US12546570 - Firearm optics mount

A firearm optics mount is configured to position an optic device on a firearm in a position offset from vertical alignment above the barrel when the firearm is in the vertical position. The canted mount includes a base, a support, and an optic mount at the end of the support. The support is configured to offset the optic between 5 and 30 degrees from vertical alignment with the barrel when the firearm is vertically positioned. The support may be configured to offset the optic between 12 and 22 degrees. The base of the mount may include a rear sight. The optic mounted to the firearm via the canted mount may be a primary or only optic of the firearm. The mount may vertically align a bullet drop feature of an optic with the centerline of the barrel when the firearm is canted to position the optic vertically above the barrel.

The patent describes a canted firearm optics mount that positions an optic device at an angle between 5 and 30 degrees from the vertical alignment above the barrel, allowing for improved sighting when the firearm is held vertically. This mount includes a base, two supports, and rings for securing a rifle scope, ensuring that the optic’s bullet drop feature aligns with the barrel’s centerline when the firearm is canted.

Claim 1

1 . A mount comprising: a base configured to secure to a firearm above a barrel of said firearm when said firearm is in a vertical position; a first support secured to said base at a proximal end of said first support, wherein said first support extends away from said base; a first ring secured to a distal end of said first support and configured to secure a rifle scope, wherein said first support positions said first ring in a way such that a first centerline extending from said proximal end of said first support through a center of said first ring is offset at an angle between 5 degrees and 30 degrees from a vertical axis of said firearm when said firearm is in said vertical position; a second support secured to said base at a proximal end of said second support, wherein said second support extends away from said base; and a second ring secured to a distal end of said first support and configured to secure said rifle scope, wherein said second support positions said second ring in a way such that a second centerline extending from said proximal end of said second support through a center of said second ring is offset at an angle between 5 degrees and 30 degrees from said vertical axis of said firearm when said firearm is in said vertical position. a base configured to secure to a firearm above a barrel of said firearm when said firearm is in a vertical position; a first support secured to said base at a proximal end of said first support, wherein said first support extends away from said base; wherein said first support extends away from said base; a first ring secured to a distal end of said first support and configured to secure a rifle scope, wherein said first support positions said first ring in a way such that a first centerline extending from said proximal end of said first support through a center of said first ring is offset at an angle between 5 degrees and 30 degrees from a vertical axis of said firearm when said firearm is in said vertical position; wherein said first support positions said first ring in a way such that a first centerline extending from said proximal end of said first support through a center of said first ring is offset at an angle between 5 degrees and 30 degrees from a vertical axis of said firearm when said firearm is in said vertical position; a second support secured to said base at a proximal end of said second support, wherein said second support extends away from said base; and wherein said second support extends away from said base; and a second ring secured to a distal end of said first support and configured to secure said rifle scope, wherein said second support positions said second ring in a way such that a second centerline extending from said proximal end of said second support through a center of said second ring is offset at an angle between 5 degrees and 30 degrees from said vertical axis of said firearm when said firearm is in said vertical position. wherein said second support positions said second ring in a way such that a second centerline extending from said proximal end of said second support through a center of said second ring is offset at an angle between 5 degrees and 30 degrees from said vertical axis of said firearm when said firearm is in said vertical position.
