The right mount puts your red dot exactly where your eye expects it. Choose risers that lift your dot to a lower 1/3 or absolute co-witness height, cantilever mounts that push the optic forward for better eye relief and clearance, and quick-detach options that let you swap optics in seconds. Match the mount to your optic’s footprint and your rifle’s rail height, and you’re set. Still choosing an optic? Start with our red dot sights, or add a backup dot with offset mounts.
