A magnified optic is a liability at ten metres, which is why a second sight canted over at roughly forty-five degrees, or sitting piggyback on top of the main optic, has become normal kit on practical rifle and multi-gun rifles. The sight that goes in that position has to be small, light and tough enough to take knocks it will never see in the primary position. This page gathers the optics from our range that are made for that job — Holosun's ARO and AEMS Micro families, the SIG ROMEO1PRO, the Primary Arms SLx RS-10R on the RMR footprint, and the SIG TANGO-MSR Compact kit that ships with a ROMEO1 offset dot already fitted.
Check each listing for the optic's footprint before ordering hardware, then browse red dot sight mounts and red dot mounting plates. The wider ranges are in red dot sights, green dot sights and gold dot sights, and you can pair one with an LPVO rifle scope or a prism scope for the longer shots.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between an offset and a piggyback mount?
An offset mount cants the sight over to roughly forty-five degrees, so you roll the rifle onto its side to use it. A piggyback mount sits the sight on top of the primary optic and is used with the rifle upright. Offset transitions are usually quicker; piggyback keeps your head position closer to normal and suits a lower-mounted primary.
Do these optics include an offset mount?
No. The sights on this page are supplied exactly as described on each listing, and what is in the box varies by model. Read the listing for the included hardware, and match any mount you buy separately to that optic's footprint rather than to the brand.
