Been really enjoying getting familiar with my new Super Yoter LRF.  It's really fun being able to instantly ID opossums hiding at the top of a tree 150 yards away.    Thanks again to Night Goggles for the great buying experience!

I'm now trying get some ballistics data so I can set up a custom reticle in the Super Hogster app.

Is there a known "height over bore axis" spec available for the SY LRF on a common AR build?  I'm going to be putting it on a Mk12 Mod H that I haven't finished building yet, which uses an additional picatinny riser on top of the receiver, so I will have to account for that height as well.  But I'm still wondering if Bering Optics or NGI has a known spec for the basic height over bore on say a M4 carbine or even just height above the top surface of the receiver's pic rail?

Thanks!

I have always used the measurement of 2.5" off bore for most Bering thermals but always measure with a calipers. I use a 5/8" riser on most of my guns so I use 3.3" off bore for my calculations. I would recommend using a calipers and measuring your exact setup but those two numbers should get you close depending on your setup.

What riser are you using?

Any pics?

I use a 14 and MH25 on a Wilcox bridge on my helmet. When aiming the SY LRF, I noticed the mount/bridge bumps into the thermal. Maybe a riser would help??

Thanks Korey!

Also, just FYI, Bering Optics got back to me literally a few minutes ago for official height between center of optic and surface of the picatinny mounting rail:

SY50 LRF with Tactical Mount = 43.5mm
SY50 LRF with LaRue Mount = 41.55mm

Keep in mind it will be at least another inch on most guns to the center of bore
