AR-15 Riser Mount by Vortex Optics
Product Overview
The Vortex AR‑15 Red Dot Riser Mount is designed to elevate compatible red dot optics on AR‑style rifles, providing improved sight alignment and faster target acquisition. By raising the optic approximately 0.6 inches above the rail, the mount positions the red dot at an optimal height for comfortable shooting and proper co‑witness with backup iron sights.
Engineered from precision CNC‑machined aluminum and finished with a hard‑coat anodized surface, this mount offers lightweight durability and long‑term corrosion resistance. The integrated Auto‑Lock quick‑release lever system allows fast installation and removal while maintaining a secure hold on Picatinny rails.
