Tactical Group HY Mount Red Dot Riser Mount - Elevated Optic

In this review of the Tactical Group Type HY Mount, the bottom line is clear: this riser is for shooters who need to elevate a red dot or night vision T1/T2 optic and add a forward laser or PEQ unit without obscuring the sight picture. The reviewer found the adapter mounts accessories closer to the optic, transfers weight well, and provides a stable, higher mounting platform that preserves eye relief and a natural shooting posture. For anyone fitting a DBAL-A2/NGAL style laser or simply wanting more flexible optic placement, this mount addresses those needs directly.

Key Features

• High profile 6-slot Picatinny rail: Provides forward extension and more flexibility to position optics and accessories for ideal eye relief.
• Combo adapter design: Elevates lights or lasers off the main rail and positions them closer to the red dot to reduce obscuration of the sight picture.
• Custom recoil stop bolts: Designed to securely clamp to standard 20mm Picatinny or MIL-STD-1913 rails for stable mounting under recoil.
• Aircraft aluminum construction: Durable and wear resistant with anti-oxidation and anti-corrosion properties for long service life.
• Wide field of view: The elevated platform keeps the optic at a higher stance to help maintain a natural vertical spine and consistent cheek weld.

Who It's For

The HY Mount is aimed at shooters who run compact red dot optics or night vision T1/T2 sights and want to add a PEQ-style laser or weapon light without blocking the sight window; it is especially relevant for users of DBAL-A2 or NGAL form-factor lasers. It suits those who need reliable, repeatable positioning on a 20mm Picatinny or MIL-STD-1913 rail and value a durable, lightweight aluminum mount.

Those who should look elsewhere include shooters seeking an integrated quick-detach system or a mount with multiple height options built in; this model is a fixed high-profile riser rather than an adjustable-height riser with QD levers.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Sturdy build and durable aircraft aluminum construction that resists corrosion and wear.
• Elevated 6-slot forward rail allows flexible placement of lasers and lights near the optic to reduce sight obstruction.
• Custom recoil stop bolts and included wrench make for a secure attachment to standard Picatinny rails.
• Improves ergonomics by moving accessories closer to the sight and helping maintain a vertical shooting posture.

Cons

• Fixed high profile may not suit users who need low mounting or rapid height adjustment options.
• No quick-detach mechanism included, so installation requires tools and straightforward hand fitting.
