AT3 Tactical PRO-Mount Red Dot Riser Mount - .83 or 1 Inch Height - for RD-50 Red Dot Sight & Picatinny Reflex Sights

1. Height Choices for Optimal Alignment• .83-Inch Riser: This lower profile is perfect if you want to maintain a compact look and a closer cheek weld. With this height, the optic sits closer to the bore, potentially enhancing precision, especially if you’re shooting at close to mid-range. This setup is often preferred by those who want a low-mounted optic for better control and a more natural shooting position.• 1-Inch Riser: Elevates the sightline a bit, which can facilitate quicker target acquisition, as you won’t need to lower your head as much to align with the optic. If you plan to co-witness with iron sights, the 1-inch height typically allows for absolute or lower 1/3 co-witness, depending on your setup.2. Compatibility with Your Optic and Blackout Recoil• Zero Retention: The PRO-Mount is crafted from durable aluminum, which means it can handle the recoil of a Blackout caliber. This is especially important on shorter barrels like yours, where the recoil impulse can be more concentrated. The mount’s design minimizes movement and loosening, so your optic maintains zero.• Secure Fit for Various Optics: Though it’s designed with the RD-50 in mind, the mount is generally compatible with other red dots that use a similar footprint, so you should get a solid fit for your chosen optic.3. Quick and Easy Setup• The AT3 PRO-Mount is designed for easy installation, so if you’re looking to set up quickly or swap between mounts, it’s convenient. It requires minimal tools and time, making it user-friendly even for less experienced users.4. Additional Considerations for Your 8” Blackout• Weight Distribution: With a short barrel, maintaining a balanced weight is essential to prevent front-heaviness. The PRO-Mount is lightweight, so it won’t shift the balance of your compact Blackout setup.• Sighting & Parallax-Free Advantage: The AT3 PRO-Mount with an optic is an advantage on a Blackout when you’re aiming for rapid, close-range targeting. The sight picture should stay clear and easy to acquire quickly, especially beneficial if your Blackout setup is geared toward quick engagement distances.This mount could be a great choice to complement your optic, offering versatility and durability tailored to a powerful, compact setup like your 8” Blackout.

Needed a high rise weapon mount for picatinny rail. Picked this beauty up for a good price. Materials are quality and it is light, 1” variant. Already slapped it on my rifle and mounted a reflex sight onto the top. Very happy with purchase!

Mounted on a AR15 platform. This mount raises the red dot optic so as the optic aligns with my left eye, while shouldering form my right side. (I have a problem with my right eye) So far , after 100 rounds, the mount remains firmly attached to the picatinny rail and optic. Added bonus - looks very cool and comes with a very reasonable price.

This mount has a really nice, slightly dark FDE finish. The torque screw is held in by a recessed nut on the opposite side. The nut is not fixed in place, so if the hardware ever gives out it is an easy and inexpensive fix (stripping threads). The hardware that came with it is decent and has maintained zero with a Holosun 510c. I added Loctite to the threads for the final mount.I will be purchasing another for my next rifle build.

Installed this on a rifle and added a red dot. Works great.

I put this on a PCC with a Holosun 510. It's not 'skyscraper' high touted by some 'operators' but definitely helps with a more heads-up stance appropriate for a short range defensive rifle. Had to adjust the quick release clamp on the Holosun as the Picatinny dimensions are narrower than the rail on my receiver but it definitely works. I got the FDE version and it's in the family of FDE although lighter shade than some components sold. For the price, it's very good. I'm not running iron sights so IDK if the tunnel on this mount interferes but I suspect it would not.

First off I’m definitely not a gun guru. I’ve purchased various products from AT3 and I’ve been satisfied with them all. Though their products aren’t considered top tier, e.g. Trijicon, this optic riser works well to elevate a red dot to get it eye level on an AR-15.

Overall seems solid enough. Took off two stars for fitment and quality control issues.The mounting screw came prestripped, making it difficult to tighten and get a snug fit on the rail.Also, 1" is too high for a Holosun HS510C to be able to 1/3 co-witness fixed Daniel Defense iron sights. Disappointed since this height was recommended by the manufacturer for this purpose. Guess I'll hang onto this one and just order a .83" to try out for this purpose. Your miles may vary on this.
