KDG SIDELOK, Universal Scope Riser, Standard, Fits Picatinny, Black Finish, .62" Rail Height SID5-100

The KDG SIDELOK Universal Scope Riser is a tool-free picatinny scope mount that cuts through the hassle of traditional rail systems. Built around a patented cam-lock mechanism, the SIDELOK lets you clamp your optic down without wrenches, side levers, or fiddly knobs—and just as importantly, pull it free in seconds when you need a quick swap. If you're running multiple rifles, doing gunsmith work, or just tired of wrestling with scope rings, this .62" rail-height riser streamlines the process while keeping your zero intact.

The three-level locking system is the real innovation here. Each engagement point in the cam mechanism ensures your scope stays put under recoil and handling, so you're not constantly checking zero. Remove the optic and remount it in the same position, and the SIDELOK returns to that original zero—a game-changer for shooters who rotate glass between platforms or need to bench test different setups fast.

Finished in hard-anodized black, the SIDELOK is built to handle field use. It bolts to any picatinny rail with the rail height specified, making it a universal fit across AR platforms, bolt guns, and any other Picatinny-equipped receiver. Whether you're a competitive shooter, a rifleman who switches optics between hunts, or a gunsmith who values efficiency, the SIDELOK reduces friction—literally and figuratively—from your shooting day.

Frequently Asked Questions

What rifles and rails does the KDG SIDELOK work with?

The SIDELOK Universal Scope Riser is compatible with any firearm equipped with a standard Picatinny rail, including AR-15s, AR-10s, bolt-action rifles, and other platforms with Picatinny receivers.

Do I need tools to mount or remove my scope?

No. The patented cam-lock system allows you to secure and release your optic by hand—no wrenches, hex keys, or side levers required. This makes it ideal for quick optic swaps without breaking down your setup.

Will my scope hold zero after I remove and remount it?

Yes. The three-level locking mechanism ensures the optic returns to zero when remounted in the same position on the SIDELOK, so you don't have to re-zero after a swap.

What does the .62" rail height mean?

The .62" figure refers to the height of the riser above your Picatinny rail. This measurement determines the overall sight line of your scope and is important for proper eye relief and cheek weld. Verify your rail height matches your rifle setup before purchasing.
