Tube center above the rail is calculated only when the mount maker says where its height is measured from and the optic maker states a tube diameter; each blank says which figure is missing.

| Geometry | |
| Height, as published Scope height over bore How far the scope's center sits above the barrel's center. It decides your cheek weld and the bullet's path at close range. We calculate only the part above the rail, where makers publish it. | Not published |
| Cantilever Cantilever mount A one-piece mount whose rings sit forward of the rail clamp, usually about 2 in. It moves the scope forward so a thermal's short eye relief works on an AR-15's flat-top rail. | Not stated |
| Forward offset Cantilever mount A one-piece mount whose rings sit forward of the rail clamp, usually about 2 in. It moves the scope forward so a thermal's short eye relief works on an AR-15's flat-top rail. | Not publishedWith the PICTAIL: "over 4.5 inches of rear offset" in standalone optic mode, "just 1.5 inches" reversed for clip-on mode, which needs "just 4 rail slots in front of a day optic" |
