Riser for a red dot

[ChattanoogaPhil]

Just thought I'd add a few pictures to show the current level of the red dot with the iron sights.

That's the same 40mm red dot as the BSA in the pic.

I like it just fine. The dot is large 5MOA and is good for shooting at cans and stuff.

I ordered this today...

Riser Mount Picatinny-style 1-2

A 4" long .5" riser. It should be what I need to get my scope (a Pursuit X1) centered.

I've got a Tru-glo riser BNIB that I ordered from Midway about a week ago. Not able to use it now. PM me if you're interested.

That one raises it a full inch. I have one myself and it does not co witness with the iron sights.

.83" = cowitness

1.0" = 1/3

.83" = cowitness

1.0" = 1/3

And more clarification: .83" = 'Absolute Co-witness'
1.0" = 'Lower 1/3 Co-witness'

My preference is lower 1/3 co-witness so my MBUS don't obscure any more view thru my tube type red dot sight than necessary in case of battery failure or damage.

A LaRue Tactical QD mount allows removal of the optic and remount w/o losing zero. Pretty handy accessory, alltho kinda expensive. But, ya get what ya pay for.

Agree, but in my case for my 15-22 an UTG riser is ok with my TRS25 with plinking in mind...
with my Sig MOE, cowitness fit my needs...

Over the holidays I was given a gift card to Dick's Sporting Goods, So today I stopped in to look for something for the 15-22. I found a TruGlo Red Dot and since it was about the same as my gift card, I got it. When I got home I realized it was a little too low on the gun to co-witness with the iron sights.

Does anyone know what size riser I would need to co-witness with the iron sights? I believe it needs to go up a 1/2 inch. Is this right?

Does anyone know where I can get a 1/2 inch riser anywhere from 2-4 inches long?




Thanks for the help

TruGlo sells one of their own for less money.\

Does anyone realize this is a four year old thread? I think the OP may have made his decision by now

Some folks never bother to read the dates on posts.

And sometimes the info is still pertinent.
