A quality optic is only part of the equation. Mounted too low or on a riser that shifts under recoil, your red dot sits off the optical centerline, slows your target acquisition, and can drift off zero from one string to the next. A purpose-built optic riser solves that by holding your optic at a repeatable height on a platform that does not move.
True North Concepts builds its risers in two footprints for different setups and user preferences. Both the STRIX-9 and STRIX-16 sit at a 0.625 inch riser height that brings your optic to the optical centerline for faster reticle acquisition and a heads-up shooting posture. The STRIX-9 runs a compact 9-slot Picatinny rail that mirrors standard AR upper receiver slot spacing, keeping the footprint short for red dots, compact prisms, and lightweight magnifiers. The STRIX-16 runs a 16-slot rail with two extra rearward slots, giving full-size LPVOs and magnifiers the room to mount further back for better eye relief. An integrated recoil lug seats in the recoil slot on your upper receiver, and steel Picatinny clamps lock the riser down to hold zero through repeated rounds.
Each optic riser in this collection is built to deliver the kind of steady, repeatable alignment that duty use and serious training demand.
