Tube center above the rail is calculated: RIX Optics's published ring-center height above the rail, which is where a round tube in these rings sits. It is not the height of a thermal's lens axis, which no maker publishes.

| Clamps onto Picatinny and Weaver rails The slotted rails most mounts clamp onto. Picatinny (MIL-STD-1913) has evenly spaced slots of one width; Weaver slots are narrower and spaced irregularly. Weaver mounts fit Picatinny; the reverse not always. | PicatinnyRail compatibility: "Picatinny Rail" |

| Ring size Ring size The inside diameter of scope rings: 1 in (25.4 mm), 30, 34 or 35 mm. It must equal the scope's tube diameter. Many thermal scopes have a 30 mm tube; others take only their maker's mount. | — |
| 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. | 1.5 in (38.1 mm)Mount Height: 38.08 mm / 1.50 in. Measured: "1.5″ height from rail to optic centerline" |
| Where the height is measured | Ring center above the rail |
| 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. | Yes |
| 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"forward cantilever offset"; no offset figure |
