ffgats Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 Hi as the title says, is it bad idea?, dont care of the looks, but more on stability. I am using right now a 1.50" height mount, and find it a little uncomfortable especially on the back on my neck, I found a riser made by Valada at .250" and that would make a total of 1.750" which I would think ideal for me. Larue and ADM makes 1.93", not sure if it might be too high too. any pros and cons when using a higher mount when shooting prone. Used to have a Eotech G33 magnifer which has a 1.750" centerline height, and find it very good for my shooting positioning. . Even my T1 on a Larue 660 mount has centerline of 1.64" is not that bad at all . However the iron sights which is 1.40" is not my ideal height.

Gentleman4561 Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 What stock are you running? Risers aren't necessarily bad, but these days most just run an adjustable stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MedicAJ Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 I've been running a YHM riser on several rifles and have had no issues with maintaining zero. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoganbillJ Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 I recently switched to the ADM high mount and like it so far. It did take a little getting used to but after getting a few range sessions in I like the height. Look at a lot of the high level shooters and you will see they run the same mount(ADM or Larue) as well. Get a cheap riser, swap it in and try it. If you like it get a dedicated mount. If not no big loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thormx538 Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 I'd prefer a single high mount to achieve the desired height over a riser mounted under a low mount. Less flex/failure points. I run ADM mounts on all of my AR optics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have some new glass on the way for my rifle so I will be switching it out from my short gun to where it will stay on my 18". Should have some more info for you shortly after Christmas. ETA: I did run it on my bay rifle for my last 3-gun of the year and liked it even with limited time on it.

Jeff Phillips Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 The only downside to a riser block is that they have the possibility to exaggerate the POA/POI difference at varying engagement ranges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not as bad as you think at the distances we commonly see. I plugged in the offset difference in Strelok and only had about a 2-5 yard shift across the board out to 600 yards. Honestly got me closer to my desired hold points on my reticle with my given load. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoganbillJ Still waiting for the my LGS to restock the ADM High mount, just curious if you find shooting Prone with the High Mount more challenging than the 1.50" common mount height.

LoganbillJ Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 I have not noticed it. It is .46" difference in height. I run a Luth-AR stock and with the cheek piece adjusted I cant tell much difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
