Pick Your Height: Strike Industries Variable Optic Mount for Aimpoint
Absolute, 1.93, lower 1/3rd. How do you decide? Well, now you don’t have to! Strike Industries entered the optic game with their SIOPTO SCOUTER, so it makes sense that mounts would be next. If you ever had issues deciding on which height to run, the new Strike Variable Optic Mount could fix that.
Strike Industries @ TFB:
The Strike Variable Optic Mount for Aimpoint® Micro Standard is a user-defined height optic mount. A mount option for the popular Aimpoint® Micro Standard footprint which is used on many red dots offered on the market. With a height range of 1/3 co-witness to a maximum of 1.93 inches, this mount allows for precise, incremental height adjustments via notches on the slider.

This appears to be a slightly more robust iteration of the Elevated Technologies (which I believe is now defunct) The Slide mount:
TFB covered the RMR version
https://www.thefirearmblog....
The elevated tech version relied solely on tension of the two screws to clamp onto the completely smooth surface of the "track". I was somewhat disappointed upon handling in person (and out $110-120, forgot how much paid for) as I speculate with enough force I.e. a hard bump or drop could shift the optic mount, if ever so slightly and affect zero. Strike's version with those mini picatinny grooves seems to address that flaw somewhat. If anything holding the mounting screw in place to index and hold zero better, or simply sheering off if subjected to force.
But will it beat GBRS HYDRA? HAIL HYDRA
