Hawke Red Dot Riser with Quick Release, Picatinny

• Quick Release Lever: The quick-release design lets the riser be removed and reattached quickly, which is useful when swapping optics or returning a setup to its original configuration without tools.
• Picatinny-to-Picatinny Fit: Built to interface with a Picatinny rail above and below, this riser provides a straightforward way to raise a red dot sight while keeping compatibility with widely used mounting platforms.
• 13.00 mm Height: The added height helps position a red dot at a more practical viewing level on rifles and carbines, improving head position and speeding up sight acquisition.
• Compact 64.00 mm Length: Its short footprint keeps the mounting area efficient, leaving more rail space available for backup sights, magnifiers, or other accessories.
• Simple Accessory Upgrade: As a dedicated riser rather than a full mount system, it offers an easy way to adapt an existing optic setup without changing the sight itself.

About the Hawke Series

Hawke mounting accessories are designed to solve practical fitment and positioning needs across a wide range of sporting optics. Within the brand’s broader catalog of riflescopes, binoculars, spotting scopes, and laser rangefinders, these accessories support the same emphasis on straightforward field use and compatibility with common rifle platforms. For shooters using red dots and other compact sights, risers and related mounting components help tailor optic height to the firearm and the shooting position rather than forcing a compromise.

In Hawke’s lineup, this type of accessory suits users who want a cleaner sight picture, better rail compatibility, or faster optic changes. The design approach is typically simple and functional: compact dimensions, direct attachment to common interfaces, and hardware intended for repeatable installation. That makes Hawke accessories relevant not only for hunting optics, but also for range carbines, practical shooting setups, and general-purpose rifle builds where mounting height and rail compatibility matter as much as the optic itself.

About the Hawke Red Dot Riser with Quick Release, Picatinny

The Hawke Red Dot Riser with Quick Release, Picatinny is a compact mounting accessory made to raise a compatible optic above a Picatinny rail while keeping installation simple. Its main advantage is the combination of a 13.00 mm rise and a quick-release mechanism, which gives the user a practical way to adjust optic height and remove the riser without a lengthy reinstallation process. That is especially useful on rifles or carbines where a slightly higher red dot position improves cheek weld, speeds up target acquisition, or better aligns the sight with the shooter’s natural head position.

The riser uses a Picatinny interface above and below, so it integrates easily into setups already built around that standard. This makes it suitable for compact red dot sights and other accessories that benefit from a raised mounting point. Its 64.00 mm overall length keeps the unit compact, helping preserve valuable rail space for additional equipment. In practice, that smaller footprint can make a difference on shorter receiver rails or on firearms that already carry backup sights or other accessories.

Because it is a dedicated riser rather than a large one-piece mount, this Hawke accessory is best suited to shooters who already have a preferred optic and simply need a more effective mounting height. The result is a cleaner, more adaptable setup that supports faster handling without adding unnecessary bulk.
