Risers on AR flat tops.

How many of you guys use a riser for rifle scopes on your AR’s? I was using a Burris PEPR on my grendel and had a hard time because every time I tried to look through the scope, I was either looking over my glasses or my glasses were cutting the sight image in half. I put a 3/4” riser on the rifle, and the Burris PEPR on top of that. It is perfect for me now, but I don’t like the way it looks. I am about to do the same thing with my 223 wylde upper. Here’s a before and after. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...13f2497bfc.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...14208a6ec8.jpg

I have the opposite problem. I can’t get a high enough cheekweld to get good sight picture without modifying the stock

Have you considered the A2 style carry handle with rail built on the top? Then you don’t need risers, just regular rings

My ar10 is an a2. It is perfect for me with just rings, basically a built in riser. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...c758d1426a.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...257fa62691.jpg

LOL, I've seen them with see though rings so you can still you your irons...

AND.... another 3/4” riser on my new 223 wylde. Scope is a Nikon m223 3-12x42. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...216764f64b.jpg

I traded a guy for the P223.... I still need to buy a M223 to test out.

For you guys that are waaaaaaay above bore line with center of retical,make sure you take an accurate measurement and figure that in to your rifles zero.

That is something I do religiously. Most don’t realize how much it affects things.

http://www.maxicon.com/guns/optics/o...ece_mounts.htm heres a good write up, they make taller cantilever mounts.

I know you said scopes, but I have a 1/2" riser under the red dot on my AR, partly to put my head in a comfortable position and partly to cowitness with my flip up irons.
