Badger Ordnance C1 12 O'Clock Top Optical Platform - Fits Aimpoint Acro, For Use with C1 Arc, Anodized Black Finish - 700-16B
Product Description
Integrating a secondary red dot sight above a high-magnification Low Power Variable Optic (LPVO) or long-range scope traditionally forces shooters to choose between angled offset mounts or bulky standalone scope ring adapters. When shooting from non-traditional barricades or in gas masks and passive night vision setups, 12 o'clock passive red dot staging offers superior heads-up target acquisition. The Badger Ordnance Condition One 12 O'Clock Top Optical Platform (TOP) for Aimpoint Acro (700-16B) resolves optical height and mount interface constraints by attaching directly to the Badger C1 Accessory Ring Cap (ARC) to provide an ultra-rigid, direct-mount piggyback solution.
Precision CNC-machined from 6061-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum, the 700-16B plate features a dedicated Aimpoint Acro footprint that accepts the Acro P-1, Acro P-2, and Steiner MPS micro red dot optics without needing secondary adapter plates or riser blocks. Mounted at the 12 o'clock position directly above your primary optic, it provides a natural heads-up cheek weld, allowing shooters to transition seamlessly from long-range targets to CQB distances or passively shoot through night vision goggles (NVGs).
Finished in a durable MIL-A-8625 Type III Hardcoat Anodized Black, the 700-16B plate maintains absolute zero under severe recoil shock, impact, and high-volume firing schedules. Engineered exclusively for integration with Badger C1 Accessory Ring Caps (ARC), it serves as an essential accessory for professional tactical, military, and competition staging.
