Midwest MK2 Acro Aimpoint Cap Red Dot Mount 30mm
The Midwest MK2 Acro Aimpoint Cap Red Dot Mount is a 30mm quick-detach solution built for shooters who want a reliable backup optic or rapid-target acquisition setup on their primary rifle. This is a precision-engineered mounting system designed to pair with Midwest Industries scope mounts, giving you the flexibility to run a compact red dot alongside your main glass or swap to it fast if your primary optic fails. Built from hard-coat anodized 6061 aluminum and machined to tight tolerances, this mount is engineered to return to zero shot after shot—critical when your backup sight needs to work when it counts.
Whether you're setting up a duty rifle, a dedicated hunting gun, or a tactical carbine, having a second aiming point you can trust isn't luxury—it's insurance. The Midwest MK2 is made in the USA and comes with torque specs engraved right on top so you can dial it in correctly without guesswork. It's the kind of accessory that disappears into your gun's profile until you need it.
One thing worth noting: scope turrets vary in height across platforms. Taller turrets on some scopes can interfere with your sight picture through certain red dot optics mounted in this cap, so verify your specific scope-to-dot combo before finalizing your setup. But if your configuration clears, you've got a rock-solid backup sight that won't let you down.
