The Strike Industries R.E.X. Riser delivers absolute co-witness capability for red dot optics while maintaining the lowest possible profile. This precision-machined riser mount bridges the gap between standard Picatinny rail height and optimal sight alignment for modern shooting platforms.
What Makes This Different
Unlike bulky traditional risers that add unnecessary height, the R.E.X. Riser provides exact 0.83-inch elevation with minimal material usage. The skeletal design reduces weight by 40% compared to solid aluminum blocks while maintaining structural integrity under heavy recoil. Strike Industries' proprietary anodizing process creates a finish that resists wear better than standard Type III hard coat.
Key Features
- Absolute co-witness height at 0.83 inches for standard AR-15 iron sights
- 6061-T6 aluminum construction with Type III hard coat anodizing
- Skeletal cutouts reduce weight to 1.2 ounces without compromising strength
- MIL-STD-1913 Picatinny rail compatibility with secure clamping system
- Fits Aimpoint Micro, Holosun, and similar micro red dot footprints
- Torx screws included with thread locker pre-applied
- Low-profile design clears most backup iron sight configurations
Field testing demonstrates the R.E.X. Riser maintains zero through thousands of rounds across multiple calibers from 5.56 NATO to .308 Winchester. The mount excels in competitive shooting where quick target transitions demand consistent sight picture. Law enforcement agencies report reliable performance in patrol rifle applications, while hunters appreciate the streamlined profile that won't snag on vegetation.
