I wish they made these in the 1.6/1.7ish height. I appreciate the concept of the ultra high mounts and I have tried them but I just don’t have all that much cheek I guess. I never could get my head to naturally get behind it and I felt like I was having to tilt my head back to look through it kinda like trying to look under the bill of a hat that is pulled too far down on your head. These mounts are works of art tho, real lookers

These mounts are works of art tho, real lookers Also it sounds like your shooting stance is tucking your head down into tactical turtle stance, leaning forward aggressively, hunched down. There's why you feel like you're having to tilt your head back. Try standing at the low ready and bringing the gun up to your shoulder without moving anything but your arms. No hunching, no squatting, no pushing your arms forward. Just bring the gun up while keeping the rest of your body upright. Bring the gun to your eyes/cheek/shoulder, don't move those to the gun. Its faster, more comfortable, less stressful. But you'll find a lower third mount is hard to get behind without tactical turtle-ing |

Quote HistoryQuoted: What would be the point in a lower 1/3 height? Literally none of the features of the design would be present. Lol. No iron sights through the mount, no nods compatibility, no heads up shooting, etc. You could buy any other lower third mount if that's what you're looking for. Also it sounds like your shooting stance is tucking your head down into tactical turtle stance, leaning forward aggressively, hunched down.

Well in this case I’m not running nods thru the optic and I’ve done it a certain way for 15years so whatever. Don’t really care about irons through the mount. Just like how they look honestly. How do you shoot these things from prone... I found that just dumb even at the 1.93 height? I kinda have seen this height as great for NV but kinda goofy if your not  . I’m sure it can be justified but it is kinda like why everyone thought that piggybacked RMRs were dumb so that’s why so many people went to the offsets. I guess everything really is just a matter of training

For those that don't shoot specific builds prone, these are the best. Again, a nice heads up natural position. And for old farts like me with chronic neck nerve pain, they're a godsend. YMMV...
I'll agree though, trying to use 1.93" / 2.26" / 2.33" prone would be a joke. But again, that's not what they're intended for... Merry Christmas! |

I run a Tr24 in a 1.93 mount and it's far superior to the lower 1/3.
Since I have been working with the Tr24 alot, I have become accustomed to the higher mount. When I went to shoot with the t1 I was like wow this shit sucks. I got the unity fast in my hand and I'm going to mount it up this weekend. |

I'll agree with Daggertt, it works. I just installed Scalarworks PEAK irons on my 8" build. The Unity ghost ring rear aperture works perfect with the front PEAK. Now I need to go get them dialed in...
ETA: The front post on the Unity is a bit "fiddly" but install isn't that bad. I've done them a few times, no big deal. |

I haven't bothered trying in the up position. I have a EOTech magnifier. I'll take a look later, when I get home. Edit: Working on other projects and forgot about this. Randomly just remembered now. If you're running the EOTech magnifier, the adjustment dial blocks the view of BUIS on the FAST mount. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Great stuff. But I have to admit I think they are going to be a one trick pony. They came out all gungho but have been backordered and out of stock forever. People have moved on. Scalarworks runs out of product but restocks every month, not every other year.... Didn't read past this one. I had the LPVO setup with offsets. I have the riser. Was gonna try G33 mount but OOS, imagine that. Just another company with cool looking shit, push the marketing everywhere and rarely have shit available. 2.26" was too high for me, especially with magnified optics, but maybe it's good for NV. It is nice stuff but look at their IG page, every post is dozens of people asking about stock. For the most part I gave up on them.  " />

EXPS and G33 (on original FTS mount) on a Unity Fast riser? Yes, the locking lugs on EXPS and G33 mount will be on the first and last slots. Edit: Probably smarter to get a longer riser like the Larue Tactical LT101. |

Both of mine were straight & true all the way in. Not seeing what you are.. But, I've removed both front posts.. now have these set up with Scalarworks PEAK front & rear irons on 2 rigs. I know it's blasphemy, but I'd truthfully like to remove the Unity rear ghost ring as well. I know I could just buy the Midwest Industries units, but I've got what I've got.
