The Leapers UTG MNTRS08S3 Picatinny Riser elevates optics to achieve proper cheek weld and sight alignment on AR-15 platforms and other tactical rifles. This precision-machined aluminum mount adds critical height for red dot sights, scopes, and backup iron sights when using stocks with varying comb heights.
What Makes This Different
Unlike basic polymer risers that flex under recoil, this solid aluminum construction maintains zero through thousands of rounds. The Type III hard anodized finish resists corrosion and wear better than standard anodizing processes. Machined from 6061-T6 aluminum, it delivers the strength-to-weight ratio demanded by military and law enforcement applications.
Key Features
- Adds 0.83 inches of optic height for improved sight picture
- 6061-T6 aluminum construction with Type III hard anodized finish
- Compatible with standard Picatinny and Weaver rail systems
- Dual cross-bolt clamping system prevents forward/rearward movement
- 3.15-inch mounting length accommodates most optic footprints
- Integral recoil lugs engage rail slots for enhanced stability
- Matte black finish reduces glare and maintains low profile
Field testing demonstrates this riser maintains consistent point of impact through rapid-fire strings and temperature variations. The dual-bolt design distributes clamping force evenly across the rail, preventing damage to aluminum handguards. Competition shooters report improved target acquisition speed when transitioning between prone and standing positions.
