Abstract
A mount for mounting an optical sight on a firearm and providing azimuth and elevation adjustments. The mount includes first and second members pivotally connected for universal movement relative to one another. One of the first and second members has pivotally connected to it a reaction member, and the other has azimuth adjustment means and elevation adjustment means. The azimuth adjustment means includes a screwthreaded portion threadedly engaged in a threaded bore in the reaction member. The elevation adjustment means includes an eccentric portion rotatable in a bore in the reaction member. The sight is bolted to the mount at one location and bolted to a carriage member, slidable on the rest of the mount, at another location whereby differential thermal expansion of the sight and mount can be accommodated.
