Tactical Group HY Mount Red Dot Riser Mount - Elevated Optic Fit

Our review of the Tactical Group Type HY Mount looks at who needs a high-profile riser that reliably elevates red dot optics and co-mounted lasers. The bottom line: this mount is for shooters who use T1/T2 style miniature reflex sights and want a secure, elevated platform that also provides a forward 6-slot Picatinny rail for PEQ-style lasers or lights. It stands out because the combo adapter design moves accessories closer to the optic to reduce obscuration while keeping a solid, recoil-resistant connection to a standard 20mm Picatinny or MIL-STD-1913 rail.

Key Features

• Compatibility: Designed specifically for Night Vision T1 and T2 optic sight footprints, it fits common red dots and small reflex optics for easy pairing.
• Forward 6-slot Picatinny rail: The extended rail lets users mount PEQ DBAL-A2 or NGAL style lasers and position them forward for better co-witness or offset setups.
• Combo adapter elevation: Elevates lights and lasers off the primary rail and closer to the red dot to reduce sight obscuration and improve sight picture.
• Recoil stop bolts: Custom-designed bolts with included wrench lock the mount to a 20mm rail so it remains firm under heavy recoil.
• Aircraft aluminum construction: Lightweight yet durable material offers wear resistance and anti-oxidation properties for long service life outdoors.
• Wide field of view: High profile riser provides additional eye relief and flexible optic placement for shooters who need a higher mounting position.

Who It's For

This mount is ideal for tactical shooters, hunters, and competitive users who run small red dot optics with ancillary lasers or weaponlights and need a higher sight plane for night vision compatibility or cheek weld comfort. It is useful when users want to stack a PEQ-style laser ahead of the optic without blocking the sight window.

Those who should look elsewhere include users with non-T1/T2 proprietary footprint optics or integrated magnifier systems that require different cant or spacing. Also, if an ultra-low mount or absolute co-witness is required, a high-profile riser will not meet that need.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Sturdy build from aircraft aluminum delivers dependable durability and corrosion resistance.
• Six-slot forward Picatinny gives flexible placement for lasers and accessories close to the optic.
• Custom recoil stop bolts and included wrench make for a secure, repeatable attachment to standard 20mm rails.
• Elevated design reduces obscuration and improves ergonomics for night vision or higher cheek welds.

Cons

• High-profile riser raises the optic significantly, so users wanting a lower sight plane should consider an alternative.
• Limited to T1/T2 style footprints; nonstandard dot mounts may require adapters.
