Vector Optics Cantilever Riser Mount – Precision Elevation for Red Dot and Prism Optics

Optimal Height, Rock-Solid Platform, Maximum Versatility

The Vector Optics Cantilever Riser Mount is engineered to meet the needs of tactical shooters, competitive marksmen, and firearm enthusiasts seeking reliable optical elevation and compatibility with popular micro and prism optics. Manufactured from rugged 6061-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum, this mount offers an ideal balance between strength and weight, ensuring a stable platform for red dot sights and compact optics without adding unnecessary bulk to your rifle or PCC setup.

Its cantilever design offers a forward offset that helps shift the optic closer to the shooter’s eye while preserving rail space—especially important when using backup iron sights (BUIS), magnifiers, or accessories. The mount raises the optical centerline by 21 mm (0.825 inches), providing an effective lower 1/3 co-witness height when paired with standard AR-style iron sights. This makes target acquisition faster and aiming more natural, particularly in high-stress dynamic shooting environments.

Purpose-Built for Rum (T1/T2) Footprint Optics

This riser mount is specifically compatible with the Rum footprint, making it suitable for a wide range of optics that follow the Aimpoint T1/T2 footprint pattern. It integrates seamlessly with multiple Vector Optics platforms such as the Paragon Prism series, Maverick red dots, and the Scrapper micro reflex line, ensuring versatility and ease of integration across your firearm builds.

The Picatinny rail attachment ensures rock-solid engagement with any standard MIL-STD-1913 rail system, while the durable matte black anodized finish resists wear, scratches, and corrosion in all climates and operational conditions.

Ideal for Tactical, Hunting, and Competition Use

Whether you're outfitting a duty rifle, setting up a competition PCC, or enhancing a lightweight hunting carbine, this riser mount offers a dependable elevation solution for red dots and compact optics. It enhances your shooting posture, improves sight alignment, and enables a faster transition between optics and iron sights.

The included hex key allows for quick installation and torquing in the field or at the range. Its minimal weight of just 40 grams (1.41 oz) ensures that balance and handling remain unaffected—even on ultralight rifle builds.
