Get your head up and your optic higher

The Hydra style dual optic riser mount raises your red dot or holographic sight to a higher centreline, around 2.91 inches, encouraging a more upright, heads-up shooting posture. That elevated sight line clears bulky face protection, comms headsets and masks that can obscure a low-mounted optic.

More room for your accessories

As well as lifting your optic, the mount adds Picatinny rail space for a laser or light module. On short PDW and SMG builds where rail is at a premium, this frees up the handguard so you keep a clean, comfortable grip.

Tough and low-reflective

Machined from aluminium with a low-reflective black finish, it is built to take regular skirmish use while staying discreet in the field. It fits standard 20mm Picatinny rails and common optic footprints. Browse more in our airsoft accessories range.

Finish your optic setup

Pair it with a compatible red dot or holographic sight and a laser or torch to build a fast, capable aiming solution for your rifle.

Frequently asked questions

What does a Hydra riser mount do?

It raises your optic to a higher centreline, giving a heads-up posture and clearing face protection, headsets and night vision, while adding rail for a laser or light.

What optics does it fit?

It suits EOTech EXPS style holographic sights and optics with the Aimpoint T1/T2 footprint, plus other brands sharing those interfaces.

What rail does it mount to?

It clamps to standard 20mm Picatinny (MIL-STD-1913) rails, so it fits most airsoft top rails.

Why choose it for a compact build?

On short PDW and SMG platforms rail space is tight. Elevating the optic and light or laser onto the mount frees up your handguard for a better grip.

Do I need a UKARA to buy it?

No. A mount is an accessory, not a realistic imitation firearm, so no UKARA registration is needed.
