Abstract: A method and apparatus for attaching a telescopic scope to a variety of rifles, without requiring the rifle to be modified by drilling or the need to purchase multiple scope mounts, comprised of front and rear mounting assemblies having a mounting plate and a corresponding scope attachment ring. The bases comprise a planar mounting surface embodying a radial recess down the center along with at least one pair of mounting holes and at least one pair of mounting slots for attachment to rifles having different screw patterns and mounting surfaces. The mounting rings are received and attached within longitudinal channels along the mounting bases and the scope subsequently clamped in place by the upper and lower attachment rings, providing for the removal and subsequent attachment of the scope and attachment rings without loosing the scope's previously zeroed calibration.

Abstract: A universal scope mount for attaching a scope to a variety of rifles, without requiring the rifle to be modified by drilling, or the need to purchase multiple scope mounts. Comprised of identical front and rear mounting assemblies having a mounting plate and a corresponding scope attachment ring. The bases comprise a planar mounting surface embodying a radial recess down the center, along with at least 3 pairs of mounting holes for attachment to rifles having different screw patterns and mounting surfaces. The mounting rings are received and attached within longitudinal channels along the mounting bases, and the scope subsequently clamped in place by the upper and lower attachment rings.

Abstract: A universal scope mount for attaching a scope to a variety of rifles, without requiring the rifle to be modified by drilling, or the need to purchase multiple scope mounts. Comprised of identical front and rear mounting bases, and corresponding front and rear scope attachment rings. The bases comprise a planar mounting surface embodying a radial recess down the center, along with a plurality of mounting holes for attachment to rifles having different screw patterns and mounting surfaces. The mounting rings are received and attached within channels along the mounting bases, and the scope is subsequently clamped in place by the upper and lower attachment rings.

Abstract: A sighting device in the form of a fiber optic front sight has a frame which mates with a vent rib of a weapon. The frame defines a hole which fits over a front bead sight on the shotgun. A locking screw threadingly received in an upstanding boss on the frame is turned such that the locking screw engages the bead sight to secure the sighting device to the shotgun. A fiber optic element is secured to the frame and the mating of the frame with the vent rib aligns the fiber optic element such that one end faces the stock end of the weapon. The fiber optic element absorbs available light and emits this light through the ends of the element. Another embodiment of the sighting device utilizes a bolt to secure the sighting device to the shotgun by threadingly engaging the threaded bore used to mount the front bead sight once the front bead sight has been removed. An additional embodiment utilizes a front sight with one fiber optic element and a rear sight with a pair of fiber optic elements.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a gun sight assembly mounting system for a firearm such as a rifle. The gun sight assembly mounting system includes a housing, a selectively compressible spring member, a mounting base, a selectively detachable sight embodiment and an elevation screw. Both the mounting base and the sight embodiment can be raised or lowered as desired by rotating the elevation screw to assist in obtaining a target line. Windage adjustability is also obtained through horizontal movement of the sight blade.
