1. An optical sight mounting system for a firearm comprising:
- a pair of mounting ring means for mounting an optical sight to a firearm, each of said mounting ring means having an inner surface forming a concave annular seat;
means for adjusting an optical sight independently within at least one of said pair of mounting ring means, said independent adjusting means including first and second aligning collars, each aligning collar having an outer convex annular surface for mating with a said concave annular seat, said aligning collars further comprising a bore for reception of an optical sight therein, said first aligning collar having an eccentric portion formed between said outer convex annular surface and said bore, wherein an optical sight is permitted to be independently adjusted radially in at least one of said pair of mounting ring means and universally pivoted within each mounting ring means, thereby permitting the axis of the optical sight to be aligned with the axis of a barrel of the firearm.

Abstract
A mounting system for optical gun sights comprised of two or more mounting rings each housing eccentric or straight collars supporting the optical sight allowing the optical sight to self center on it axis without binding or deforming the optical sight. The collars, being adjustably eccentric within the ring housing, optionally provide optimal optical alignment of the inner components of the optical sight.
