Elevated Technology The Slide Optic Mount Fits Trijicon MRO, Aimpoint T1/T2/H1, Holosun and Clones available on Just Hunters Pakistan, Elevated Technologies is proud to announce the only height adjustable red dot mount on the market. Meet The Slide. Our goal is to create simple to use, yet cutting edge hardware, that enhance shooters abilities. One of the founders of our company kept running into a fundamental problem with sighting systems currently available for modern sporting rifles. How do you find the right mount that gives you the ability to co-witness your red dot optic with your iron sights? Well, after being fed up with buying different mounts, optics, and iron sights to get the combination right, he thought to himself why not just make a mount that gives you the ability to use any optic with any iron sights to give the shooter the ability to co-witness their optic with their sights. That answer to his question sparked the idea that led to a simple invention that will change the way shooters aim down their rifle for years to come.

The slide is a simple solution for millions of modern sporting rifle owners. This optic mount allows you to co-witness your Trijicon MRO or Aimpoint red dot optics with any iron sights available on the market. It will mount to any standard piccatinny or 1913 rail.

The mount is extremely intuitive. Simply affix your optic to the upper half of the mount, slide the upper mount into the base, line up the height of your slide to your iron sights and lock it down, and youre good to go.

Elevated Technologies: Elevate your Red Dot Game

Red dot optics. There sure are a lot of them out there. Some good. Some crap. Some in between. But the proof is in the pudding and the cream always seems to rise to the top (feel free to use any other cheesy catch phases your grandparents would use). In terms of quality and ruggedness, Trijicon and Aimpoint typically find themselves at the top of the preverbal red dot Totem Pole. More often than not you can find their optics on this author’s firearms when he can afford it. The Aimpoint T1/T2 series of red dots pretty much set the standard for ruggedness and longevity but the Trijicon MRO and RMR have also proved themselves reliable and robust over the years.

The beautiful thing about modern technology when related to single magnification, red dot optics is you can get amazing quality, with long lasting battery life in a small package. This is especially true with the above mentioned RMR. Because of the small size and ruggedness of modern red dot optics they can be found mounted to just about any firearm you can imagine. For example, you can find them on pistols, sub guns, rifles, shotguns, machine guns and even non-firearm related items such as crossbows, telescopes and more. The possibilities are numerous to say the least.

With all the different optic host options comes the issue of mounting solutions. Which mount to get for your particular application can end up as an expensive adventure in what works and what doesn’t. For this conversation, let’s leave pistols out of the equation.  Semi auto (and full-semi-auto, sure why not) pistols typically have their slides milled out for a particular micro red dot (MRD) and may have adaptor plates that can be used to facilitate more than one manufacture of said MRD. Some folks will use pistol iron sights with their red dots, others won’t. Not going to open up that argument of which is better, just stating the facts. If the sights need to be aligned (co-witness) with the optic, the sights need to be replaced or adjusted to work with the optic. In this instance, the slide, iron sights and optic all reciprocate during the firing cycle. There are some exceptions where the slide is not milled out and other mounting solutions are used. The ALG 6-second mount comes to mind, which places the red dot above the slide, meaning the optic will not reciprocate with the slide during the course of fire.

Let’s focus on long guns and sub-guns for the moment. For America’s favorite AR-type black rifles a shooter may purchase a mount for their red dot that is an absolute co-witness or lower 1/3 co-witness or something in between. Depending on the mount, this means the front and rear iron sights (if used) will align either in the center of the optic (absolute) or in the lower 1/3rdquadrant (lower 1/3rd). There are pros and cons to each which is a topic for another day, but those are the primary two options. Of course the back-up iron sights (BUIS) will need to be the appropriate height to allow the absolute or 1/3rd co-witness combination to work.  This means you have to buy a specific optic to put on a mount with specific set height and iron sights (if used) at a specific height. Put the combo together, slap it on your gun, zero that puppy and you are good to go.

Well, what if you don’t want to play the guessing game or maybe you want to go from a traditional gas impingement AR type rifle to a piston driven AR with a higher top rail like POF or the HK 416/417? Or perhaps you want to use another type of rifle such as the SCAR, ACR, XCR, Tavor etc? All of these rifles have higher top rails, different bore offsets and require shorter mounts to allow proper co-witnessing with optics and sights, which by the way would also be shorter than the traditional AR. Then there are the real low riders such as sub guns, shotguns and other rifles like AKs. Getting optics super low on those types of firearms can be very challenging (if not impossible) and sometimes results in the shooter ignoring the fact they can’t co-witness and just running the sights as is. Not sure about your parts bin, but we have multiple mounts with multiple heights available for use as we change out mounts and optics on a regular basis with all the different firearms we test.

What if you could swap optics to all the different firearms platforms mentioned above and not have to change the mount in the process? That would be ideal right? Well, ideal would really be an unlimited budget for optics and mounts with the ability to buy whatever combination we wanted. If wishes were fishes…

We digress. A single mount that would accommodate low, mid and high mounting solutions for popular red dots would be very helpful. Well in this case, wishes do come true.
