UTGMed-pro Compact Riser Mount, 0.83" High, 3 Slots , Black

This Riser will work for now,however, I was seeking absolute co-witness. This gives me lower 1/3 cowitness with a Primary Arms micro dot with REMOVABLE base. What that means for a fixed base PA-micro, an aimpoint, trs-25, or anything else I don't know. If you're unsure about what lower 1/3 cowitness and absolute cowitness are, google it. I prefer absolute, see explanation below. This 100% gave me lower 1/3. Which is fine for now but I will be ordering the LOW riser to see if that works. The riser itself seems strong and everything fit as it should. Thumbscrew worked fine. I HAVEN'T shot with it yet. I will update this if anything goes wrong. But if everything stays put, it holds zero, and can go on and off and still hold zero, I will not do an update. You can assume that it is doing (did) those things for me. Hence the 5 stars. Like I said I will be trying the Low riser from UTG but might wait until my low pro gas block goes on and replaces my fixed front site.Short version: lower 1/3 requires you to raise your head slightly to center your dot in the field of view (FOV). This allows for a very open site picture as your rear iron site is not visible and the front site sits at the very bottom of the FOV. But, you sacrifice cheek weld. Absolute cowitness means your rear site, front site, and the red dot all line up in the middle of your FOV thru the red dot site. And you keep a proper cheek weld which I prefer. But your iron sites can clutter up your FOV. Folding sites do away with this issue so in my opinion absolute cowitness (lower riser/site) is better. But if you have a fixed front site you may think otherwise.

I like the UTG risers, I have a few versions, because they are quality aluminum, lock up tight and you can get the exact height you need. UTG has a solid warranty, which I have never had a need to use yet. It is good kit.

If you're using this for its intended purpose, its above average, it's a good mount of good quality, and allows for full co-witnessing. It does not have anything but that wingnut to tighten down, so you're most likely only getting it hand tight. I would like to see a proper 1/2" nut on there, in my opinion that would push it to a 5 star mount.This mount has not moved around much, if at all, on any guns I put it on. It's perfectly good to use.Where this thing really shines, at least for me, is aligning handguards PERFECTLY. I put this on ARs as I build them and make sure one end is grabbing the receiver and the other is grabbing the handguard and then tighten the handguard down.For that use, it is a 5 star product. As a general small optic mount, 4 stars.

This UTG riser is simple, durable and very handy. I have tried a few other brands and the problem I've encountered with the others is after several hundred rounds shot down range they begin to wobble. Finally I came across this one and since then have never even needed to retighten them. The picture below is of it on my AR which work perfectly if your trying to co-witness your iron sights with your red dot, they align perfectly. I also use this on my AK47 which has a much more heavier recoil and still have never needed to tighten them. Made out of light weight material and coated with weather resistant paint they have never failed me once and provide the lightness possible weight to my rifle platforms.If you found my review to be of help, please click the "helpful" button below.Thanks and always be safe :)

Excellent item and well made. Very happy with the purchase of this riser.

The UTG Med-pro Compact Picatinny Riser Mount is exactly what I needed. It provides the perfect height boost for my optics and fits securely on my rail. The build quality is excellent, with a sturdy construction that holds up under heavy use. Installation was quick and easy, and it has maintained a solid, wobble-free grip. Great value for such a reliable riser mount. Highly recommend for anyone looking to elevate their sight setup!

Excellent

I bought this riser to mount a TRS-25 on an SBR with flip-up BUIS. While it is not elegant looking, it is extremely functional. It has one cross bolt and the nut has a plastic wing on it that is large enough to tighten or loosen by hand, so you don't need tools. I get perfect co-witness with it. If I needed another riser, I would buy another one just like it. I recommended it to a couple of friends, and they are every bit as satisfied as I am.I have not slogged through desert, swamp, mountains, or rivers with it, but it appears to be robust enough that if I did, it would come through with flying colors.
