The Unity Tactical FAST Optic Riser transforms standard height red dot sights into elevated shooting platforms optimized for modern carbine configurations. This precision-machined riser mount addresses the ergonomic challenges shooters face when using traditional co-witness height optics with contemporary shooting techniques and gear setups.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard height mounts that force awkward head positioning, the FAST Optic Riser elevates red dot sights to 2.26 inches above the rail centerline. This enhanced height provides natural sight alignment for shooters wearing night vision devices, gas masks, or protective equipment. The riser maintains absolute co-witness with backup iron sights while delivering superior ergonomics compared to lower-third co-witness configurations.
Key Features
- 2.26-inch centerline height optimizes optic positioning for modern shooting techniques
- Precision CNC-machined 6061-T6 aluminum construction with Type III hard coat anodizing
- Compatible with Aimpoint Micro footprint optics including T-1, T-2, and H-1 models
- Integrated rail section provides forward mounting point for magnifiers or accessories
- Tool-free optic installation with captive thumbscrews for field adjustments
- Maintains absolute co-witness with standard AR-15 backup iron sights
- Low-profile design minimizes snag hazards during tactical operations
The elevated sight picture reduces neck strain during extended shooting sessions and improves target acquisition speed in dynamic scenarios. Law enforcement and military personnel benefit from the enhanced compatibility with protective equipment, while competitive shooters appreciate the improved sight alignment for rapid target transitions. The robust aluminum construction withstands recoil forces from high-volume training and maintains zero retention across temperature extremes.
