The Davidson scope mount was on the side of the gun. Davidson intended it that way to provide enough elevation for long range shooting. The gun it was most commonly mounted on, the Whitworth, was capable of hitting a 32 feet x 2 feet target at 1880 yards. The size of the target was representative of a platoon of soldiers standing in formation.
