Off-Set Scope Mount

I have a good shooting buddy that shoots extreme target rifles left handed. He recently lost the use of his left eye so I built a scope mount that allows the use of his right eye while shooting left handed.

A one piece Weaver base supplied the initial mount. A flat piece of 3/16″ thick aluminum plate supplied the off-set. A series of holes were drilled and tapped to adjust the amount of off-set.

Millett Angle Lock rings were used to supply the proper mount of alignment that will be necessary.

Who knows, maybe George will be an even better shot with his right eye!

    I have a problem like your friend except I lost my right eye. I am right handed and was shooting left handed. Now I have a pacemaker in my left shoulder and cannot shoot left handed . I need a off set mount for me to shoot right handed again but sight with my left eye. Can you build something like that?

      Sorry, I’m not a licensed gunsmith so I can’t work on your gun unless you are here.

      Check with Hart Rifles. They make offset scope mounts.
