A sight mount for a firearm includes a base, and a rearwardly extending
mounting portion for supporting a removable secondary optic mount. The
base includes dovetail rails for securing the base to a firearm, and a
mount position for accepting an electronic optic. The rearwardly
extending mounting portion has transverse slots which follow the 1913
Picatinny specifications. The base serves as a mount point for up to two
optics, the primary and secondary optics. The primary optic being a non
magnified electronic optic and the secondary optic such either a night
vision device or magnifier. The extended mounting position utilizes a
small, light weight ring or other apparatus as is appropriate to hold
onto the secondary optic. By using one base for both optics weight is
reduced and the secondary optic when remove provides a stream lined
package.
