Abstract
A sight mount system for preserving adjustment settings of a removable aiming sight so as to avoid disturbing the point of aim of the aiming sight when the aiming sight is removed and subsequently reinstalled on a projectile weapon. The system includes an aiming sight foot supporting the aiming sight and a sight mount shoe for receiving the aiming sight foot. The sight mount shoe includes a non-adjustable datum surface, and pitch and yaw adjustment mechanisms that cooperate with the datum surface to establish the pitch and yaw of the aiming sight when the aiming sight foot is secured in the sight mount shoe. A foot retainer urges the aiming sight foot into contact with the datum surface and the pitch and yaw adjustment mechanisms, the foot retainer being manually operable to enable removal and reinstallation of the aiming sight foot without disturbing the pitch and yaw adjustment mechanisms.
