Hawke Picatinny Rail Riser

• Raises optic height on a Picatinny platform: This riser adds extra height between the firearm and the sight, helping achieve a more natural head position and making it easier to align certain red dot sights with the shooter’s preferred stance.
• Picatinny-to-Picatinny compatibility: With a Picatinny interface on both the top and bottom, it fits cleanly into existing rail-based setups and allows compatible optics or accessories to be repositioned without changing the underlying mounting standard.
• Aluminium construction: The aluminium body keeps weight down while still providing the rigidity needed for a stable mounting surface, which is important when maintaining consistent sight alignment under regular field use.
• Compact 64.00 mm length: Its short overall length gives enough rail space for many compact optics while keeping the setup tidy and leaving room for other accessories on the firearm.
• 0 MOA profile: The flat, non-inclined design preserves the original sighting geometry of the rifle or carbine, making it a practical choice when elevation cant is not required.

About the Hawke Adapter Base Series

The Hawke Adapter Base series sits within Hawke’s Mounts range as a practical group of bases and risers designed to solve common fitment issues between firearms and optics. Rather than focusing on the sight itself, this series is built around making different mounting standards work together cleanly and securely in the field. In the range, Hawke includes adaptor bases that bridge 9–11 mm / 3/8-inch dovetail rails to Weaver / Picatinny mounts, allowing shooters to use a wider selection of optics and rings on rifles that would otherwise be more restrictive.

The series includes one-piece and two-piece configurations, along with a longer extension version for setups that need more flexibility in optic placement. That makes the Adapter Base family relevant to airgun, rimfire, and centerfire users who want to adapt an existing platform rather than replace mounts or rails entirely. Across the series, the emphasis is on straightforward mechanical compatibility, compact dimensions, and a layout that supports stable optic installation. For shooters building around red dot sights, riflescopes, or other rail-mounted accessories, Hawke Adapter Base products provide a simple way to expand mounting options while keeping to familiar Weaver or Picatinny standards.

About the Hawke Picatinny Rail Riser

The Hawke Picatinny Rail Riser is a compact mounting accessory intended for shooters who need to lift an optic above an existing Picatinny rail without changing to a different mounting system. Its role is straightforward but useful: it creates additional clearance and a higher sight line, which can improve comfort with certain firearm stocks, sight housings, or shooting positions. On rifles and carbines fitted with rail-mounted red dot sights, that extra height can make the presentation feel more natural and reduce the need to press the head too low onto the stock.

The riser uses a Picatinny interface above and below, so it integrates easily into rail-based setups and keeps accessory choice broad. That is especially helpful for shooters who already use Picatinny-compatible optics and want to preserve that standard throughout the build. Its 64.00 mm length gives enough surface area for many compact sights while remaining short enough to avoid taking up unnecessary rail space.

Built from aluminium, the riser balances low weight with the stiffness needed for a dependable mounting platform. The 0 MOA inclination keeps the optic level with the existing rail geometry, which suits general-purpose sight mounting where added cant is unnecessary. Finished in black, it matches typical tactical and sporting optics setups and works well on firearms that already use Picatinny rails, including a wide range of modern rifles and chassis systems.

About Hawke

Hawke Optics is headquartered in the United Kingdom and focuses on sporting optics for shooting and field use. Its catalogue covers riflescopes, binoculars, spotting scopes, and laser rangefinders, with product families that span hunting, airgun, and general sporting applications. In riflescopes, Hawke’s lineup includes Frontier, Sidewinder, Endurance, Airmax, and Vantage, showing the brand’s broad involvement across different price and performance levels.

The company also builds optics for more specialised uses, including crossbows, shotguns, and airguns, which reflects a practical design approach shaped by real mounting and ballistic requirements. Across its optics range, Hawke has used features such as first-focal-plane and second-focal-plane scope designs, while products in the Frontier line have included multi-coated optics and a zero-shift anti-recoil reticle gimbal. That mix of field-oriented design and broad category coverage has made Hawke a well-established name in sporting optics and related mounting accessories.
