Need Rail Riser advise

[tdt91]

I just received my Holosun HS510C. I have mounted it on my AR which has a fixed M16 style front site. It seems I need to use a rail riser. Anyone know off hand what height I will need? Also, how about a decent rail riser that won't break the bank. Advise on what to do is welcome.

At least, with the QD mount, he can rip it off if things don't work.

I love ADM's quick release mounts, and that's one of the reasons why.

The plan is to use this for a pig hunt, so I assume I should get the Lower 1/3rd co-witness ?

Nobody?

Nobody?

Are you hunting at night, or daytime only?

Why do you want 1/3 CW?

Never assume. Personally I hate 1/3 cowitness. I also hate Charmin toilet paper, doesn't mean it won't work for you.

Charmin Ultra is the best! I swear, I don't even know you anymore...

yes night. I don't know what I should use, or just leave it as absolute.

As others have stated above, it's a personal choice. I use lower 1/3 on all of my red dots.

Only one of my lower 1/3 mounts is on a rifle with irons. But, yah, absolute cowitness would distract me on that rifle.

Besides being at a comfortable height for me, lower 1/3 also means they line up perfectly with a magnifier or rifle mounted AN/PVS-14.

This one is what I would get:

Made by Holosun, reasonably priced.

The only suggestion I would have is, whatever you end up with, absolute or 1/3, don't use your rear iron sight if at all possible. Trying to shoot at night with front and rear irons along with a red dot can be very distracting.

Are you using nods?
