The Unity Tactical FAST Optics Riser delivers a purpose-engineered 2.26" optical centerline height that puts your reticle exactly where you need it — faster and more naturally than any standard-height mount can offer.
- 2.26" optical centerline height for rapid, intuitive reticle acquisition
- Promotes a heads-up shooting posture for enhanced battlefield awareness
- Compatible with electronic hearing protection, NVGs, and gas masks
- Machined from lightweight, aircraft-grade 7075-T6 aluminum
- Type III hardcoat anodized finish for maximum durability and corrosion resistance
- Standard rail grabber mount fits most Picatinny/MIL-STD-1913 rails securely
Who This Is For
The Unity Tactical FAST Optics Riser is built for serious shooters — military personnel, law enforcement operators, and trained civilians — who regularly run electronic ear protection, night vision goggles, or CBRN gas masks alongside their optic. If standard co-witness heights force you into a chin-welded, head-down position that slows your sight picture and kills your situational awareness, the FAST riser solves that problem immediately. It's equally at home on a duty AR-15 or a precision-built carbine where split-second target acquisition is non-negotiable.

Frequently Asked Questions
What optics are compatible with the Unity Tactical FAST Riser?
The FAST Optics Riser is designed to accept a wide range of red dot sights and compact scopes that use a standard Picatinny or MIL-STD-1913 footprint. Popular choices include the Aimpoint T2, Trijicon MRO, EOTech XPS series, and similar-profile optics. Always verify your optic's base dimensions against Unity Tactical's compatibility list to ensure a secure fit before purchasing.
Why is 2.26" the optimal optical centerline height?
The 2.26" centerline height was developed by Unity Tactical in collaboration with military and law enforcement end users to align the reticle with a shooter's natural line of sight when wearing bulky gear — including electronic ear muffs, night vision goggle mounts, and gas masks. At standard heights, shooters must drop their head into an unnatural chin-weld position. The FAST riser eliminates that compromise, reducing target acquisition time and keeping your head up for better peripheral awareness.
Will the FAST Riser affect my zero or point of impact?
Changing your mount height does not alter your optic's mechanical zero, but it will change your bullet's point of impact at close range due to the increased offset between the bore axis and the optical centerline. Shooters transitioning from a lower mount should re-zero at their preferred distance after installing the FAST Riser. For most carbine applications, a 50/200-yard zero remains a practical and widely recommended starting point.
