ABSTRACT:
A telescopic gun sight is clamped to a mount which is mounted on a base for limited relative sliding movement fore and aft of the barrel of a rifle, to which the base is secured. Resilient bushes of elastomeric material are disposed within bores in the mount, and fixing bolts pass through the bushes to clamp the mount to the base. The resilience of the bushes allows the mount to move slightly relative to the base, and returns the mount to its original datum position after such movement. In this way, shocks that may otherwise damage the sight and/or shift its position relative to the barrel of the rifle may be absorbed--particularly recoil shocks upon firing. In other embodiments, relative movement of a mount relative to a base is possible in more than one direction, thereby to absorb shocks in other directions, as may be caused by, for example, accidental knocks.
