An apparatus and method of manufacturing a sighting device mountable to a gun to assist a shooter in aiming at a target. The apparatus may include an optical element and a light source which provide feedback to the user regarding alignment with a target. In one example, the alignment aid optical element includes a ring of transparent material with a user-facing, contoured surface with an inner and outer edge. Further, the contoured surface may be coated with a reflective material that reflects a narrow band of light wavelengths. According to some examples, the apparatus may further include a light source coupled to a mount located at a focal point of the lens wherein the emission of light from the light source faces the lens. In some aspects, the wavelengths emitted from the light source may correspond to those of the coatings on the lens.

An accessory mounting attachment for repeatable precise alignment on a rifle has a mounting section with a top rail. The mounting section has a forward portion with a rear sight leg configured for a pivotable mounting to a rear sight base on the rifle, and a rearward portion with a lock down assembly configured to fix the mounting section to a connecting lug at a rear of a receiver of the rifle. The lock down assembly includes an eccentric element, a lug latching frame, and a coupling element connecting the two. Rotation of the eccentric element by a lever section causes the lug latching frame to move vertically and engage/latch with the connecting lug, so that the accessory mounting attachment is consistently and securely fixed in a same position relative to a barrel of the rifle, which keeps a sighting device attached to the top rail zeroed to the rifle.

Disclosed herein are alignment features for scopes, such as alignment rings for telescopic sights. For example, a scope can includes a proximal end having an interior surface. The proximal end is that which a user aligns his or her eye in order to visualize a target. The scope may also include an alignment ring on the interior surface of the proximal end. The alignment ring assists a user in determining whether his or her eye is properly aligned with a longitudinal axis of the scope. With correct eye alignment, the alignment ring is not visible. With incorrect eye alignment, at least a portion of the alignment ring is visible, thus ensuring accurate sighting.

The present disclosure relates to a firearm which may include a frame with a first outer wall, and a second outer wall opposite the first outer wall. A laser module may be disposed between the first and second outer walls. An alignment pin may be in communication with the first outer wall and may be configured to move the laser module relative to the frame.
