Vector Optics 0.83" Profile Cantilever Picatinny Riser Mount – Medium-Height, Lightweight, Precision Mounting Solution
The Vector Optics 0.83" Profile Cantilever Picatinny Riser Mount is a precisely engineered accessory designed to elevate red dot sights and optics with AMPNT MICRO footprint, such as the Vector Optics Maverick series. With its medium-profile height of 21.1 mm (0.83"), it offers the perfect elevation for co-witnessing with standard iron sights or for achieving a comfortable cheek weld on various platforms, including AR-style rifles and tactical carbines.
This mount delivers exceptional reliability thanks to its durable 6063-T6 aluminum alloy construction, known for its balance between strength and weight. It features a matte black anodized finish that resists wear and corrosion, ensuring your optic remains solidly mounted even in demanding outdoor conditions.
The cantilever-style design provides additional forward mounting space, making it especially useful when paired with magnifiers or when eye relief adjustments are necessary. Its 21 mm Picatinny rail interface guarantees wide compatibility with most modern sporting rifles and tactical builds.
