Armaspec Elev8 High Rise

The Armaspec Elev8 High Rise is a precision optic riser built for shooters who run red dot sights with T1/T2 footprints and need to clear barriers, gear, or non-magnified backup optics. Whether you're mounting a compact reflex sight over a carbine's rail system or working around a gas mask, night vision setup, or lower-third iron sights, this high-rise mount elevates your optic to the sight line that works best for your platform and shooting style. Made from 7075 T6 aluminum and 4140 steel with Type III hard-coat anodize, the Elev8 is built tough enough for duty use and light enough to leave unnoticed in your pack.

What sets the Elev8 apart is its see-through design. Unlike solid risers that block your irons completely, this one lets you run backup iron sights underneath—a genuine advantage if your optic fails in the field or at the range. That redundancy matters whether you're hunting remote terrain, running drills, or preparing for anything unpredictable. The low-profile footprint minimizes snagging on gear or brush, and the secure mounting platform keeps your dot rock-solid through recoil and hard use.

The Elev8 is made in the USA and delivers the kind of fit and finish you'd expect from a quality accessory: clean lines, minimal weight, and no fuss. If you're serious about your optic setup and want the flexibility to back it up without sacrificing sight picture, this riser earns its place in your build.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the Elev8 work with my iron sights?

Yes. The see-through design lets you run backup iron sights underneath the riser without obstruction. They'll coexist on the same rail, giving you a true redundancy setup.

What red dot sights fit the Elev8 High Rise?

Any red dot or reflex sight with a T1 or T2 footprint will mount securely to this riser. That includes popular options like the Trijicon RMR, Holosun HS507K, SIG Romeo-M17, and similar compact optics.

Is this riser designed for night vision or gas mask use?

The elevated sight line makes the Elev8 practical for shooters running passive night vision or wearing a gas mask, as it clears these barriers and puts your optic at a more natural cheek weld height. It's also useful for any setup where standard rail height doesn't align with your shooting position.

Can this riser be removed and remounted without losing zero?

The Elev8 provides a precision mounting platform for T1/T2 optics. Whether zero is retained after removal and remounting depends on how firmly the optic is seated and torqued to the riser.
