Who runs this mount?  How much does it raise the optic compared to the factory default mount?  What are the pros and cons?

I have one that I tried out with the offset mount,

Don’t use it though because the lack of QD.

I have one and I like it, certainly more than the factory mount. I’m don’t remember how high it’s raised compared to the factory mount, but I know the numbers are out there.

Lack of QD doesn’t bother be either because my eyes can’t do irons anymore and I just don’t take it off.

Other than that, zero problems with it and I don’t plan on getting rid off it.

This is not GD - post accordingly.

I did until I sold my ACOG for a VCOG. I put it on a .875 riser to make it 2.91". I like it. Dont see many people doing it around me but I got scolded by an instructor once. He explicitly told me I was a retard. Had a spare upper with a GBRS Lerna. He didnt bother me anymore after.

Pedos run Kram spacers because of the name.

Have anything constructive to say or are you gonna continue being the Texas intellectual that you’re proving to be in a tech forum?

That looks really promising to me!

If it needs a new home, let me know. At the right price, it could be a win-win for both of us.

This is the third or so time I've seen you make these incredibly non-tech comments regarding Unity mounts.

Some people like them, and this is tech.

My assumption is that they raise it the same as their LPVO mount, which I believe is 2.05 if I recall.

Advantages are quite simple- you don't have to drop your head and can easily keep a neutral shooting stance.  

Huge bonus when you're running plates and a helmet.  I get significantly less neck fatigue, and find it much easier to present my rifle from the compressed low ready or high ready position...and its much easier to use while moving since you're not putting your upper body in some compressed position to get behind the optic.

Downside is they're not the best in the prone position-  In the same fashion that it works great standing without having to drop your head....it forces you to do the same in the prone.  Another downside may potentially be how they impact the BDC on your ACOG.  It will change it, but its nothing that you can't easily plug into a ballistic calculator to figure out.

I run them on everything I have unless the the purpose of that rifle is primarily to be used in the prone position.

The ghost of Hawkins is still alive

This is a way better assessment than what I posted above, and I agree 100%.

I won't shoot this rifle prone.

And a huge thanks for the helpful post!

My advice is to run the ACOG all the way back so you don't have to crunch your neck forward. If you think about it a heavy forward neck crunch is the same as a erect heads up shooting just on different planes.
