Gun sight mounting system
First Claim
1. A sight mounting system comprising:
- a rail with a first post extending therefrom;
a base with a second post extending therefrom, the base having a window formed therein with at least two sides, wherein the first post extends through the window and the rail is connected to the base such that the rail may be adjusted with respect to the base;
a wheel with a groove for engaging the first post and a hole for engaging the second post, the groove having an eccentric radius such that when the wheel is rotated, the engagement between the first post and the groove causes the rail to be adjusted; and
a post base with at least two sides, the post base engaging the first post and sized to fit within the window such that the at least two sides of the post base contact the at least two sides of the window to prevent lateral movement.

Abstract
A gun sight mounting system for easily and reliably adjusting a sight with respect to a gun barrel. The system has a rail with a first post, and a base with a second post and a window. The first post extends through the window. The rail is adjustably connected to the base. A wheel is provided with a groove for engaging the first post and a hole for engaging the second post. The groove has a spiral or eccentric or cam-like radius such that when the wheel is rotated, the engagement between the first post and the groove causes the relationship between the rail and the base to be adjusted. A measurement system is indicated on the wheel, or on at least one spool that can be mounted to the wheel. At least one tape can be attached to the spool, and can include a measurement system.
