OK guys here's the problem. I'm limited in space on the rail of my Kral PB Silent synthetic stock. For my comfort level and eye relief my mounts and rings are at the extreme limit of the pic rail. The scope as I'm sure you can imagine covers the entire rail making it impossibleto hang a tac-light (see pic 1). I've gotten the 45 degree low-pro offsets (see pic 2) and still cannot hang my flashlight. I'm one of those purists who will never hang something from the barrel because of the POI drift it causes so that rules out M-Lock all over the front of my gun. I find it hard to believe I'm the only person in the history of everything ever that has encountered this spectacular level of frustration so I turned to my go-to… you guys. When I run a search of the forums for "stand-off" I get every post on the forum from its inception to now (I strongly suspect a few from the future are tossed in for good measure) that has the word "off" in it. I've been spectacularly incorrect about my own understanding of simple things in the past so my assumption that I must be using some obscure version of English the internet is wholly unfamiliar with has left me with the level of confusion one expects to see on the face of a Labrador when a new sound they've never heard presents itself (pic 3). My fruitless searches for things like "stand-off tactical picatinny mount" or extension or addition or… well.. pick your combo and win… maybe. Probably not. So help, please, I need something low profile that will stand off away from the rail far enough that I can mount my tac-light without having to take a drill and boring bit to the underside of my Lepers UTG 4-16×44 side parallax long argument with the wife. Thanks in advance for any help you can offer fellow enthusiasts!

@jimnm I think I mentioned how even simple things can be a stumbling block of epic proportions… and you just proved how hard a time I can have overcoming even simple problems. So simple and it just never occurred to me to mount the dang light to the scope rings. Simple. Elegant. Easy. Thanks so much for your suggestion I will do a mock up, look things over for simplicity, scalability, and convenience and see what that option will allow me.
@odoyle post two. Oh! That! Got it! Cantilever I understand now. Yeah I like this idea now that you were smart enough to think of it for me it really is an appealing option. I think I may have mentioned about how easily the obvious escapes me in the original post. Here's the thing; before I jumped on here to get some feedback from you all I, of course, did some pretty extensive searching on Amazon and… I'm ashamed to admit this but when I would search for my original search terms it would put up some of those cantilever mounts and rings and I happened to read it out loud, cantilever mount, just as my wife and her niece were comin' in the back through the mudroom. My wife come in the den with a potholder in one hand a spatula in the other swinging to take my head off and our niece was in a heap o' tears in the pantry off the kitchen. Turns out when I said that the niece and nephew had been to fightin' and as she and ma come through the door from a distance they mistook me to be asking "can't he leave'r the house," thinkin' I was on the phone with his ma. Good thing my Uncle Scrappy is the Sheriff or this might have gotten real confusing. So I stopped lookin' at those mounts as an option because just sayin' em out loud plum near cost me my head and a 'spensive divorce. but i thank you for your suggestion and I will do a mock up and see how that tac-lite sticks out and shines.
@biohazardman it's my understanding that there are some websites that a fella can add punctuation and what all to refine the results so as to git as close to exactly what your lookin' for as possible. you can also use the microphone button on your phone to speak the stuff for it to search for. i stopped using punctuation in my searches because those websites with those weird northern accents don't seem to understand too well those of us who talk right.
Thank you fellers for your suggestions I'll sure and do a mock up before I go committin' to a purchase.@Odoyle post one. what did you call me?!?!
