Kits, apparatus, assemblies, and methods for mounting sighting devices are disclosed. A sighting device includes a base for coupling the sighting device to an object at a first interface, a mounting element connected to the base at a second interface, and a sighting element connected to the mounting element. A channel disposed in the bottom of the base is aligned with a channel disposed in the surface of the object and a channel insert is secured within both channels to securely couple the sighting device to the object. The secure coupling can resist movement of the sighting device relative to the object in at least one direction. The sighting element has a non-opaque body displaying a reticle. An illuminating element backlights the reticle from a first vantage point. The device optionally includes an opaque mounting body and a magnifying optic aligned with the sighting element in an open sight configuration. |

1. A backlit sighting device, comprising:
a mounting element having at least one mounting hole; an illuminating element disposed on or in the mounting element; a sighting element connected to the mounting element, the sighting element comprising a non-opaque body and at least one reticle disposed on or in the body such that the at least one reticle is visible when viewed from a first vantage point, the illuminating element being disposed behind the at least one reticle when viewed from the first vantage point such that light produced by the illuminating element passes through at least a portion of the body backlighting the at least one reticle when viewed from the first vantage point; and a base coupled to the mounting element, the base comprising:
a first connection component for coupling the base to a surface of a support structure at a first interface;a second connection component for coupling the mounting element to the base at a second interface, the second connection component comprising at least one threaded opening and at least one threaded fastener disposed at least partially within the at least one threaded opening, the at least one mounting hole of the mounting element being aligned with the at least one threaded opening, the at least one threaded fastener being disposed at least partially within the at least one mounting hole of the mounting element thereby coupling the mounting element to an upper portion of the base; anda third connection component for receiving an optic; and a non-opaque segmented optic connected to the base via the third connection component such that the at least one reticle is disposed at least partially between the segmented optic and the illuminating element, the segmented optic being optically aligned with the at least one reticle such that the segmented optic visibly magnifies the at least one reticle when viewed from the first vantage point. |
