  2. Weaver rail mount - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weaver_rail_mount

    The locking bar system allows for even stress to be distributed and prevent canting of the scope mount. Another form of scope canting is caused by the rings themselves. Many Weaver-type mounts, including many Picatinny-type scope rings and even the Redfield Type, have either two or four screws on top of the scope ring that hold the scope in place.

    The height of a scope sight can be measured in many ways. With regard to ballistic calculations, it is generally only measured from the center of the bore axis to the center of the scope sight . With regard to cheek support, several methods are used: On firearms with a picatinny rail, the height is measured from the top of the picatinny rail on ...

  4. Barrett Optical Ranging System - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barrett_Optical_Ranging_System

    Since the BORS is mounted directly to the scope and coupled with the elevation knobs, the computer can interact with the scope by simply turning the elevation knob until the LCD displays the target’s range. [1] The kit includes the proprietary Barrett Ballistic Software that is pre-programmed with a library selected by Barrett. It also ...

  5. Dovetail rail - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dovetail_rail

    The SIG Sauer 200 STR has an 11 mm dovetail on the receiver for mounting a diopter rear sight or a scope sight, either directly or via a Picatinny rail adapter.. Dovetails come in several different types and sizes depending on manufacturer, but the most common are the 11 mm and 3 ⁄ 8 inch (9.5 mm).

  6. Diopter sight - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diopter_sight

    The diopter sight is easy to use and usually allows for very accurate aiming, because a relative long sighting line can be used. A long sighting line helps to reduce eventual angle errors and will, in case the sight has an incremental adjustment mechanism, adjust in smaller increments when compared to a further identical shorter sighting line.

  7. Telescopic sight - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telescopic_sight

    A telescopic sight, commonly called a scope informally, is an optical sighting device based on a refracting telescope. [1] It is equipped with some form of a referencing pattern – known as a reticle – mounted in a focally appropriate position in its optical system to provide an accurate point of aim.

  8. Eye relief - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eye_relief

    For a shooter, eye relief is also a safety consideration. If the eye relief of a telescopic sight is too short, leaving the eye close to the sight, the firearm's recoil can force the optic's eyepiece to hit and cut into the skin around the shooter's eye, leaving a curved scarring laceration on the medial end of the supraorbital ridge and the ...

  9. Iron sights - Wikipedia

    The most common is a rear sight that adjusts in both directions, though military rifles often have a tangent sight in the rear, which a slider on the rear sight has pre-calibrated elevation adjustments for different ranges. With tangent sights, the rear sight is often used to adjust the elevation, and the front the windage.
