Badger Ordnance C1 12 O'Clock Top Optical Platform Fits Aimpoint Acro For Use with C1 ARC Anodized Tan 700-16
Product Description
The Badger Ordnance Condition One 12 O'Clock Top Optical Platform (TOP) for Aimpoint Acro (700-16) is a precision-engineered accessory mounting plate designed to attach a secondary red dot sight directly above a primary magnified optic. Purpose-built to interface seamlessly with the Badger Ordnance Condition One Accessory Ring Cap (ARC), this TOP plate allows marksmen to mount an Aimpoint Acro P-1/P-2 (or other Acro footprint micro red dots) in a upright, 12 o'clock position above their LPVO or precision scope.
CNC-machined from 7075-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum, the 700-16 platform provides a rigid interface that maintains zero under severe recoil impulse and hard operational use. Finished in a Mil-Spec Type III hardcoat anodized tan coating, it offers extreme wear, corrosion, and chemical resistance. Placing the red dot at the 12 o'clock position enables rapid target acquisition for close-quarters engagements, heads-up passive aiming through night vision devices (NVGs), and quick range-finding transitions without breaking cheek weld or altering rifle orientation.
By attaching directly to the C1 ARC ring cap, the TOP plate eliminates the need for bulky offset mounts or additional rail sections. The Badger Ordnance 700-16 is an essential upgrade for professional armorers, tactical shooters, and competitive marksmen looking to optimize their Condition One modular scope mounting setup.
Armorer Bench Notes & Real-World Staging Guidance:
Fitment Matrix: Must be used in conjunction with a Badger Ordnance Condition One Accessory Ring Cap (C1 ARC) in matching tube diameter (30mm or 34mm). Directly accepts Aimpoint Acro P-1, Acro P-2, and other micro red dot optics utilizing the native Aimpoint Acro clamp footprint.
- Perform a complete firearm safety check: drop the magazine, lock the bolt rearward, and visually inspect the chamber to ensure zero live rounds are present.
- Ensure the Badger Ordnance C1 ARC top ring cap is properly installed onto your Condition One scope mount and torqued to specification (15–18 in-lbs).
- Place the C1 TOP plate (700-16) onto the mounting pad of the C1 ARC ring cap, aligning the screw holes.
- Apply a small drop of medium-strength threadlocker (Blue Loctite 242) to the included mounting screws and torque to 15 in-lbs using an inch-pound torque wrench.
- Mount the Aimpoint Acro optic onto the integrated dovetail rail of the TOP plate, securing the Acro side clamp screw to 25 in-lbs.
- Confirm structural tightness and perform a function check of the passive red dot sight alignment before live-fire zeroing.
