Footprint compatibility explained

What does a "footprint" mean? The term footprint refers to a sctructure of the sockets and screw holes on the base of the optic device.

And what does it mean if the footprints are compatible?

Each optic sight has some base for mounting. The base consists of pins on various positions and holes for screws used for fixation of the sight to the mounts. If any two sights use the same base for mounting, we call that that they share the same footprint.

In this article we show which red dot sights share the same footprint.

Shield RMSc footprint pattern

Shield RMSc footprint consists of four sockets in the corners of the sight and of two screw holes in the rear of the sight.

The front as well as the rear socketes are 17mm / 0.66 inches far from each other. From the rear sockets to the front sockets the distance is 32,8mm / 1.29 inches. Position of these four sockets corresponds to position of pins that are on a mounting surface of any mount for this standard.

The screw holes are positioned in the rear part of the optic device. These function for fixation of the sight to the mounts. These two screw holes are 14mm / 0.55 inches far from each other.

The screws that are to be used for these screw holes are always included in the package with the sight.
