Manufacturer: Arisaka Defense
Model: Configuration: Offset mounts are available in various configurations. Common designs include those for red dot sights, magnifiers, or miniature reflex sights (MRDS). They allow the secondary optic to be mounted at a 45-degree angle to the primary optic.

Versatility: Offset mounts add versatility to a firearm, allowing the shooter to quickly transition between different optics for specific shooting scenarios. For example, a shooter can switch from a magnified scope for long-range engagements to a red dot sight for close-quarters situations without physically removing or adjusting the primary optic.

Compatibility: When choosing an offset mount, it's essential to ensure compatibility with the specific firearm and optics you plan to use. Consider factors such as rail type (Picatinny, M-LOK, KeyMod) and the size of the optics.

Material: Offset mounts are typically made from durable materials such as aluminum or steel to withstand the recoil and stresses associated with firing a firearm.

Height: The mount's height is crucial to maintain proper sight alignment and co-witnessing with the primary optic. Some mounts may offer various height options to accommodate different optics.

Quick Detach (QD) Options: Some offset mounts feature quick-detach mechanisms, allowing for easy removal and reinstallation of the secondary optic without the need for tools.

Application: Offset mounts are commonly used in tactical and competitive shooting scenarios where rapid target acquisition at varying distances is essential. They are also popular in three-gun competitions.

Training and Practice: Effective use of an offset optic mount requires training and practice to develop the muscle memory needed to switch between optics seamlessly.
