The 6 Best risers (2023 reviews)

If you are looking to buy an all-around great riser for your daily purpose, utg riser is the right option. This mount must be used on a piccatinny rail that is on the rifle already. It includes a t20 torx wrench for a simple and friendly installation. It is the perfect height for a pistol that doesn't have an adjustable brace on it since you have to be closer to the optic. It has three torx screws to mount to the rail. It makes it easy to move the scope back and forth on the riser to change the position if needed.

The build quality is extremely solid, and it mounts very sturdily to the rail. The design is so beautiful especially mounting on AR rifles.
