โ 30mm Red Dot Mount FAQs
What’s the difference between absolute and lower 1/3 co-witness?
-
Absolute co-witness aligns the red dot with your iron sights in the center of the optic window
-
Lower 1/3 co-witness places irons in the lower portion of the window, allowing for a cleaner view of the target
Is a QD mount worth it?
Yes. QD (quick detach) mounts allow you to remove or reattach your optic without tools while maintaining your zeroโideal for duty use or when swapping optics between rifles.
Do I need a riser with a 30mm red dot?
Not if your mount already provides the correct height. Many mounts come pre-engineered for AR-15 co-witness or lower 1/3 mounting.
