Primary Arms SLx Micro Dot Riser Mount - 2.26” Height

• 2.26” optical centerline: raises a micro red dot to a taller sight line that supports a more upright, heads-up shooting position and works especially well with night vision setups.
• Skeletonized riser body: keeps the mount light while leaving room to use back-up iron sights, so the rifle remains practical if the optic is removed or switched off.
• 6061-T6 aluminum with steel hardware: combines low weight with the strength needed for repeated recoil and hard field use, helping the optic stay secure and maintain zero.
• Aimpoint Micro compatibility: fits the widely used microdot footprint, making it a flexible choice for many compact red dot sights, including compatible Primary Arms models.
• M1913 Picatinny cross-bolt attachment: provides a straightforward, solid interface for rifles and carbines equipped with standard Picatinny rails.

About the Primary Arms Mounts Series

Primary Arms Mounts covers a broad range of optic-mounting solutions for shooters who want practical, purpose-built hardware without unnecessary complexity. The series includes mounts for scopes, magnifiers, and red-dot optics, along with scope rings and risers, so it serves everything from lightweight carbines to more specialized precision or tactical setups. Across the lineup, the emphasis is on common mounting standards, straightforward installation, and configurations that match how the optic will actually be used.

Within the range, Primary Arms offers mounts for M1913 Picatinny platforms, separate scope rings, cantilever designs, and magnifier mounts with flip-to-side functionality. The catalog also includes risers for micro red dots and MicroPrism optics, giving users options for different cheek welds, passive aiming setups, and accessory clearances. Depending on the model, the series uses cross-bolt or thumb-screw attachment systems, with designs that prioritize secure lockup, sensible weight, and compatibility with widely used optic footprints and tube sizes.

About the Primary Arms SLx Micro Dot Riser Mount - 2.26” Height

The Primary Arms SLx Micro Dot Riser Mount - 2.26” Height is built for shooters who want a taller red dot setup on a rifle or carbine. Its defining feature is the 2.26 in. optical height, which places the sight higher above the rail for a more natural, upright head position. In practice, that can make target acquisition feel faster at close range, reduce the need to compress into the stock, and better accommodate helmets, ear protection, or night vision use.

This mount uses the Aimpoint Micro / standard microdot footprint, making it suitable for a wide range of compact red dot sights. The skeletonized design does more than trim weight: it also preserves clearance for back-up iron sights, which is useful on defensive, duty, or training carbines where redundancy matters. Construction is centered on 6061-T6 aluminum with steel hardware and recoil lugs, a combination that balances low mass with the rigidity needed to keep the optic stable under recoil and repeated handling.

The mount attaches to a M1913 Picatinny rail with a cross-bolt system and uses 0 MOA inclination, making it a straightforward choice for red dot applications where a neutral mounting angle is preferred. With no adjustable windage built into the mount, alignment stays simple and the setup remains clean and robust. For shooters building a tall micro red dot configuration for practical shooting, tactical optics use, or passive aiming roles, this SLx riser focuses on height, compatibility, and dependable mounting security.
