1. An optic mount for supporting a primary optic and a secondary optic on a firearm for use in both close quarter engagement and long range engagement, the optic mount comprising:

  • a base capable of being secured to a firearm;

    a primary optic platform pivotably secured to the base and linearly translatable with respect to the base;

    the primary optic platform being spring biased forward with respect to the base;

    a secondary optic platform rotatably secured to the base, the secondary optic platform being rotatable from a first orientation to a second orientation;

    the secondary optic platform being spring biased to the first orientation;

    an actuator mechanism linked to the secondary optic platform;

    wherein the primary optic platform engages the actuator mechanism when the primary optic platform is in a first position, thereby causing the secondary optic platform to be rotated to the second orientation;

    wherein the primary optic platform does not engage the actuator mechanism when the primary optic platform is in a second position, thereby allowing the secondary optic platform to rotate to the first orientation; and

    wherein the secondary optic platform is a swivel platform, the swivel platform being rotatably positioned over the base and secured to a swivel shaft that is rotatably secured within the base, the swivel platform having an upper surface configured to receive a secondary optic, the swivel platform being rotatable from a first orientation in which the sight line of the secondary optic is substantially parallel to the barrel of the firearm to a second orientation in which the sight line of the secondary optic is substantially perpendicular to the barrel of the firearm.
