Scope Mount Cant Offset Calculator

Use this simple calculator to figure out the loss in height from a cant in the scope mount. For example, let's say your scope mount gives you a 10mm height clearance between the bottom of the scope and the top of the barrel. If your scope mount has a 20 MOA cant, what is the impact to your height clearance? Find out with this calculator.

Scope cant
0 10 20 30 40 50 MOA

Scope-to-rail front distance
mm inches

Calculate Offset: tan(MOA cant x 1/60) x (length between front of scope to front of rail) = 0.89 mm (0.03 inches) height loss
