Benefits of technology

This invention provides a sight adjustment facility for firearms that includes a base and an elongated platform element. The first adjustment facility is for windage and the second adjustment facility is for elevation. The elongated platform element has a sight mounting facility. The base can connect to a rail of a firearm and the elongated platform element can pivot on a pivot pin defined by the base. The adjustment facilities have knobs for easy adjustment. The technical effect of this invention is to provide a convenient and easy way to adjust the position of a firearm's sight for better targeting and shooting accuracy.

Problems solved by technology

Many current sighting systems may be challenging to configure to a firearm.
The time and effort required to make adjustments for windage and / or elevation in many current sighting systems is significant enough that users of firearms often utilize a sighting system for each firearm.

Abstract

A sight adjustment facility is provided for a firearm. The sight adjustment facility comprises a base. The sight adjustment facility comprises an elongated platform element. The elongated platform element is movably connected to the base. The sight adjustment facility comprises a first adjustment facility. The first adjustment facility is adapted to move the elongated platform element with respect to the base in windage. The sight adjustment facility comprises a second adjustment facility. The second adjustment facility is adapted to move the elongated platform element with respect to the base in elevation. The elongated platform element has a sight mounting facility.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 62 / 400,112, filed Sep. 27, 2016, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention relates to sighting systems for firearms, and more particularly to mechanisms for adjusting sighting systems.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]Many current sighting systems may be challenging to configure to a firearm. To be effective, at least some aspect of a sighting system requires strict alignment to the barrel of the firearm or to the ballistic trajectory of projectiles emitted from the barrel. In many current sighting systems, a unique zero for the firearm is stored in the sighting system. The unique zero typically includes adjustments for windage and / or elevation. These adjustments are typically made through adjustment mechanisms for windage and / or elevation on the sighting system. The unique zero is often a result of varia...
