  • Publication number: 20250013031
    Abstract: A scope mount assembly for attaching an optical scope having first and second eyepieces to an electronic accessory having a lens. The scope mount assembly broadly comprises a scope mount and a target attachable to the electronic accessory. The scope mount is configured to engage the first eyepiece. The scope mount includes an aperture for viewing through the first eyepiece when the optical scope is not attached to the electronic accessory and a magnet positioned near the aperture. The target includes a body formed of a structural material and a powder particulate. The powder particulate is distributed throughout the structural material and includes a material configured to be attracted to the magnet. The target is positionable on the electronic accessory so that the second eyepiece aligns with the lens of the electronic accessory when the scope mount magnetically engages the target.
