Armaspec Elev8 Ibeam Xl 13slot

The Armaspec Elev8 Ibeam XL 13-slot optic riser is a precision Picatinny rail mount designed to elevate holographic sights and optics to the optimal sight line for your shooting style. Built from 7075-T6 aluminum and 4140 steel with Type III hard-coat anodize finish, this riser positions your optic's optical centerline at 2.26 inches above the rail—a height that matters whether you're shooting passively with night vision, wearing a gas mask, or simply trying to achieve natural cheek weld and faster target acquisition. It's the kind of seemingly small detail that compounds into noticeably faster shot placement once you get behind the gun.

The Ibeam XL profile and 13-slot design provide a solid mounting platform for a wide range of lower 1/3 co-witness optics, including popular choices like the EOTech EXPS and Vortex UH-1. The riser's relief cuts keep weight to a minimum without compromising rigidity, an important consideration on modern tactical and hunting builds where every ounce adds up over a long day. Made in the USA, this mount reflects Armaspec's commitment to domestic manufacturing and quality control.

If you run a lower 1/3 co-witness optic and feel your sight picture is too low, or if you're building around night vision or specialized equipment that demands a specific cheek reference, the Elev8 Ibeam XL solves that geometry problem with a single, clean component. No shimming, no workarounds—just proper optical alignment.

Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

What optics are compatible with the Elev8 Ibeam XL riser?

This riser is designed to mount lower 1/3 co-witness optics and similar configurations. It works with the EOTech EXPS, Vortex UH-1, and many other optics in that class. If your optic has a standard lower 1/3 co-witness mount footprint and a Picatinny-compatible base, it should fit. Always confirm your specific optic's mounting interface before purchase.

When would I use an optic riser like this?

An optic riser lifts your sight picture to optimize eye relief and cheek weld for your shooting position. It's particularly useful if you run night vision passively, wear a gas mask or protective equipment, or simply find that lower-mounted optics force an unnatural head position. The 2.26-inch centerline height is a proven reference for many tactical and hunting setups.

What's the Ibeam XL design, and what do the relief cuts do?

The Ibeam XL profile refers to Armaspec's structural design that balances strength with minimal weight. The relief cuts are precision voids machined into the body to reduce unnecessary mass while maintaining rigidity—important on lightweight or precision builds where every component's weight matters.

Is this made in the USA?

Yes. The Elev8 Ibeam XL is manufactured in the USA from 7075-T6 aluminum and 4140 steel, finished with Type III hard-coat anodize for corrosion resistance and durability in field conditions.
