Understanding Optics Accessories

Optics accessories are the hardware that connects your optic to your firearm. A quality scope mount, optic mount, or set of rings affects everything from eye relief and optical centerline height to how well your optic holds zero under recoil. Getting the right mounting system is just as important as choosing the optic itself.

Factors like optic height, beam clearance, and receiver compatibility all play a role in finding the right fit for your setup. A red dot optic mounted at absolute co-witness height on a Picatinny rail puts your iron sights and red dot in the same sight picture, which is a real advantage for fast target acquisition in both self-defense and range shooting situations. Our team can walk you through the details and help you find the right components for your specific firearm and optic combination.

Types of Optics Accessories We Carry

Our optics accessories inventory covers mounting systems, sights, and protective accessories across a wide range of platforms and optics. Here is what you will find in our showroom and online store:

Scope Mounts and Bases: A scope mount or base is the foundation of your optic setup, and getting the right one affects accuracy and long-term reliability. We carry Picatinny rail mounts, optic rail mounts, low profile bases, fastback optic mounts, and mounting plates for rifles, pistols, and shotguns, including OEM applications for platforms like the Kel-Tec Sub-2000 and S&W. Our selection includes options compatible with popular optics like the Holosun, Aimpoint Micro, Sig Romeo, and Delta Point Pro. Browse our full firearm accessories catalog for additional mounting and rail options.

Rings and Adapters: Scope rings and adapters secure your optic and set the optic height, which directly affects eye relief and sight picture. We carry options including monolithic flexure mounts and IXF series adapters in a range of tube diameters, heights, and materials to match your specific scope and receiver combination. Getting rings that provide proper beam clearance and consistent adjustment screw torque makes a real difference in long-term zero retention.

Iron Sights: Iron sights remain one of the most reliable sighting options available, and a solid set is worth having on any defensive or range firearm. We carry front sights, rear sights, and co-witness iron sight sets for AR-platform rifles, pistols, and other popular firearms. Browse our full gun parts and components catalog for additional sight options, and ask our team about pairing iron sights with a red dot for a backup sighting setup.

Scope Covers and Shades: Scope covers and lens shades protect your investment between range sessions and in the field. We stock flip-up covers, lens caps, and shades sized for a wide range of scopes and red dot optics to keep your glass clear and protected when it is not in use.

Safety and Storage

Proper storage keeps your optics accessories and your firearms protected. We carry gun safes, lockable cases, and storage solutions to help you keep everything organized and secure, and our staff can walk you through options that fit your setup. Browse our full firearm accessories selection for storage solutions sized for any collection.

Choosing the Right Optics Accessories for You

Finding the right mounting system starts with knowing your optic and your platform. Optic height, receiver type, and intended use all factor into which scope mount or ring set is the right choice, and compatibility is not always obvious from a product listing alone. That is exactly the kind of question our team handles every day, and we stock the necessary hardware to get your setup running correctly the first time.

If you are newer to optics, we recommend starting with a solid base and rings before adding accessories. Understanding how your optic mounts and how adjustments affect point of impact is a skill that builds confidence at the range, and our training program covers optic fundamentals for shooters at every level. Our indoor range gives you a place to confirm your zero and test your setup before you rely on it. There is no rush, and the right accessories are the ones that work with your firearm, your optic, and the way you shoot.

Hear From Our Customers

10 stars. I didn't expect to have such an amazing experience in a place that is incredibly intimidating to me. Rachel was very welcoming, showed me around and explained what training would be like starting from zero, as well as all my options and how much of an investment it would be. I started private instruction with Dan, the lead instructor. Dan is very knowledgeable (mind blown), incredibly kind and most importantly to me - very reassuring and not at all intimidating. I'm incredibly thankful to Dan for my training and am now hooked and sharing my awesome experience with friends. Absolutely worth every penny.

In my opinion WBA sets the bar for how a gun shop/range should be operated. Aside from the wide selection of firearms and firearm related products, the customer service I've received is SECOND TO NONE. Whether it be at the optics counter, gun counter, range or suppressor section, ALL of the employees are knowledgeable and courteous no matter how busy they are. I've purchased several firearms and optics over the past few weeks from WBA and could not be more satisfied with the level of customer service I've received up to this point from ALL of the employees. Special thank you to Dom the Sales Manager who is ALWAYS patient and willing to make sure all of my questions are answered regarding the item in question (and there have been many). WBA will be my wife and I's first and only stop for all of our firearm related needs.

I took the Intro to Handguns class at White Birch Armory with Dave & Dan and it was fantastic. I went in feeling nervous and left feeling comfortable and excited to learn more. I appreciated that politics were not involved at all and that Dave made the class interesting, entertaining, and informative. Highly recommend!

Frequently Asked Questions

What optics accessories does White Birch Armory carry?

We carry scope mounts, optic mounts, bases, rings, adapters, iron sights, scope covers, and lens shades for rifles, pistols, and shotguns. Browse our full inventory online or visit our showroom in Dover, NH.

What is the difference between a scope base and scope rings?

A scope base attaches to your firearm's receiver and provides a mounting surface, typically a Picatinny rail. Rings clamp around your scope tube and connect to that base. Both need to be compatible with your specific firearm and optic for proper fit and function.

What does absolute co-witness mean?

Absolute co-witness means your iron sights and red dot optic are aligned at the same height, putting both in the same sight picture. It is a popular setup for AR-platform rifles running a red dot on a standard Picatinny rail mount and allows for fast target acquisition with either sighting system.
