Night Vision Rangefinders mounted on 90* pic adapter

[BurtG]

Seems like this would work better than the traditional over the top scope mounts. Especially on lighter weight rigs / where you want less snags

Anyone doing this ?
Am I missing something ?

it does work good mounted there but i would replace that painter's tape with some duct tape , that blue tape will never hold a zero

if you were running a scope with a larger objective like 50mm you could start to run into clearance issues and need to push the rangefinder out or farther forward

oddly in my case the reason i had to move my impact from a 9 o'clock position to a diving board was because i couldn't reach the controls of a clip on with it at 9 o'clock without having to break my cheekweld

What mount are you using for the RF?

i have an area 419 one piece scope mount that i was running a pic rail on then i had the impact mounted on a fast eotech riser with an adm qd lever so i could remove/install it without any tools. this also gave me a little more room to adjust the parallax

i like your idea with the offset mount from the top rail , since the fix rail doesn't give us 9 or 3 o'clock options for direct mount . a 90 degree mount from the top rail with an adm 170 mount would keep it pretty tight to the gun and still give toolless quick disconnect

Problem with side mount is the zero offset that can cause issues depending on target size, distance, and beam divergence... Def less fuss top mounted
