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 mount.

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 dots share the same footprint.

Trijicon RMR footprint pattern

RMR footprint consists of two sockets in the front and two screw holes in the middle of the sight.

The front socketes are 22,5mm / 0.89 inches far from each other, each positioned in the corner of the front of the sight. Position of these two sockets corresponds to position of pins that are on a mounting surface of any mount for this standard.

The screw holes are positioned cca in the middle of the optic device. These function for fixation of the sight to the mount. These two screw holes are 18,8mm / 0.74 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.
