DOES IT NEED A RISER FOR CO-WITNESS ON AR15'S?

No, you don't need a riser. I'm using one but that's because I have other things attached as well.

I have a Bushmaster xm-15 ORC, It did not come with a front or rear sight, I added magpul backup sights and without any risers I can't see the backup front sight in the scope(though by the height it looks like you could). Not sure on the fixed front sight on most M4 variants but I know with my magpul sight i haven't been able to Co - witness at all with this scope.

Not being a gun enthusiast, I don't know what he means by CO-WITNESS. I did not mount a riser on mine.

No it does not need a riser but I do have trouble keeping it zeroed in upon rapid firing if I would have known this before hand I wouldn't have bought this product.

I have two ARs: flattop with Magpul MBUS front and rear, the other with the A2 front and MBUS rear. No riser of any kind was needed for either.

I mounted my Weaver K4 scope and later, a Bushnell TRS-25 on my 10/22 directly to the Weaver rail. No riser is needed.

I honestly don't know. I used this riser for my T1 aimpoint. On my caa roni.. I don't own a rifle

No, but none of the others will either. The crosshairs will be all you see from 3x and up. Only on low power will you even see the front sight. Now you may get lucky like I did, when my scope is on low power (1x to 2.5x) I can see and use the front sight post, but this is a freak bit of luck, but not guarenteed. I say get it anyway, if you feel it's too low you can buy an inexpensive riser

I have the same BUS and yes, the riser is ar15 specific and work perfectly.

I have an F-marked front site base and Magpul flip-up rear. With this setup I have no co-witness. I had to order a mid riser to see through it at all.

Although I did not use on an AR, I use a 3/4" riser on the scopes I do use.

I had to have mine removed. It will work with a riser but I didn't like how high up the scope sat.

No it does not come with a riser, why would you need one? What are you putting it on? Talk to people you know and trust like the gun shop where you bought it or a gunsmith where you can get some sound advice.

Gregory, I'm unclear what you mean by "need"? The product comes ready to mount on a rail. The real question is, as Claudio states..."preference" and the rail you currently have on your mini 14. I prefer a "flat-top" or low profile upper receiver. Therefore, a small riser is necessary to maintain my preferred position on my cheek weld. If you have a sighting system on your mini 14 now and the position is comfortable merely measure any elevation and purchase a corresponding riser.

I don't believe you would even need the riser on the 10/22. I assume you would mount the picatanny rail or the rail which came with the rifle on top of the receiver and then the optic on top of the rail. This should give you the perfect sight alignment without the need of any riser.

Yes it will as long as it has a picatinny upper. You do not need a riser, the mount is high enough. I have one mounted on an AR.

No, however, the one I bought came with a riser mount. It is model SCP MF 3WQS. Mine is mounted on a S&W Sport, and I love it. Good luck and happy shooting.

With this riser I can still see the front sight in my optics, but it is below the red dot by a bit, so it may not be high enough for you to use the flip up sight too. Hope that helps....

greetings, if you have a standard A2 sight, this sight will be the right height, no riser. This sits the same height as the carry handle sight.

It works with a riser but frankly I found the layout and design not usable for my shooting needs or my physical build or shooting style. 45deg rails, peep sights and a true tac scope / laser system. Didn't break the bank.
