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 published |

| Warranty Warranty How long the maker promises to repair or replace a faulty unit. Check whether it needs registration and whether it passes to a second owner. | Not published |

"half the length of the standard mount" (no figure given). The store shows a generic optics warranty line on the page, so warranty is left null. Pulsar's global catalog lists a Weaver LQD (79203) with the same features; Pulsar does not say they are one product.
