File this under "do they make this?"
I'm looking for a mount (extra cool points of it is QD) that would attach to the 3 or 9 o'clock rail, and place an optic over the barrel, as if it were attached to the 12 o'clock rail. As far as which optic, think Aimpoint or some other red dot, or perhaps a scout scope. Anyone know of such a thing? I figure it might have some application in 3 gun or some other rifle game. Or, perhaps not.
As to why I would want to do such a silly thing...I own a KTR. It has a very nice rail system, but no 12 o'clock rail, and no way to install one. It also has a dustcover mount that is about the best dustcover mount out there. It absolutely will not shift while it is on the rifle. You do, however, have to remove it to clean the thing, and re-zeroing is hit or miss. Annoying.
