RAIDWORX RSR - Reddot Storage Riser
As night vision technology has proliferated around the world, the need to utilize sighting systems that produce no IR signature has become a needed development. Common daytime optics, especially microdot and holographic sights, are already readily useable in conjunction with head mounted night vision technology, but the historical challenge has been being able to affectively acquire a sight picture when using night vision mounted onto a helmet. The solution is to raise the optic height using taller optic mounts to provide more ideal alignment through the night vision image tubes in a ‘heads up’ position. The best solution we have found for this need has been designed and manufactured by our partners at RAIDWORX with the RSR series optic mounts, which elevate both Aimpoint pattern and picatinny mount (EoTech) optics to a 2.76″ height while utilizing the additional physical space created to store a spare CR123 battery right in your optic mount.
Tall mounts have a range of benefits for shooting performance in general, but for night vision passive aiming specifically they are , in our opinion, a requirement. They don’t all have to be as tall as the RSR, but we have used all the popular 1.93 and 2.26 height mounts that are popular and have found that not only is the extra 0.50″ of height even more ideal for use with night vision, but the RSR’s unique storage compartment maximizes the useful space.
