SightmarkSlide-to-Side Mount

Great mount. Tough and easy to install.

Works great with my night vision scope. Gives me the ability to to quickly change to another rifle.

This is the third mount I have tried with my magnifier. The first one was cheap. The second one was $50+. They both did not feel sturdy and would not keep my dot centered. This mount is so solid to the point that I am impressed. I must have said "wow" 10 times after I had it all installed. However, there are a couple things you should know. If you mount this on an AR platform behind a red dot, when the mount is open, the mount will not open all the way. The brass deflector on the right side of the rifle prevents it from locking open. I had to file a very small amount of metal off of the deflector. This was not a big deal to me since my rifle will be getting a paint job. I don't think the description does a very good job at describing how the mount actually works. It is very hard to explain but it works great and locks up tightly. It will need some lube or grease to function smoothly. In my opinion, this is the only mount that will keep your magnifier in the same spot every time you flip it for this price.

Second one I’ve purchased. First one was for mounting an ACOG, this one is for a Primary Arms Slx 3x36 Compact Red Dot. QD lockup is solid on both, great value for about half the price of other options. Highly recommended.

I liked it once I figured out how to use it. The quick release is functional but a little stiff. It works as advertised and holds my magnifier in position just like it is supposed to. Not sure what else to say about it.

Must have if you use an optic on many Pew sticks

Bought this for my son's AR.This mount is really solid and well built. There's no "slop" to it even when flipped to the side. It has a very positive latching mechanism when it's deployed. Easy to mount and easy to operate.A reminder, though: Check the height of the sight you will be using it with. I'm very firearms savvy and I almost forgot when I was shopping for mounts.My son has a holosight mounted, don"t remember the brand, but not EOTech, and there is a slight shadow of the sights frame visible when using the multiplier mounted with this mount. That could be normal as it's been a while since I was in the business of firearms, and am not intimately familiar with modern optics. In my day it was Aimpoint and ACOG, and that was about it. You kids and your "holosights" and your "reflex sights" and your "rock and roll". Bah! :)The reticule of the sight is however centered in field of view of the multiplier and works well.The unit arrived on time and undamaged. Very "sexy" box as well. Do we really need packaging for Combat Optics to look like it came from Drakkar?Anyway, very pleased, and would by again.

I had to file my picitanny rail a tiny bit for the mount to fit. It has held zero perfectly so far.
