Frequently Asked Questions about Overbore Systems
- What is the Kenu riser?
- The Kenu is Overbore’s signature optic riser, designed to elevate red dot sights for a heads-up shooting posture—ideal for use with night vision or gas masks.
- What is the Night Height Micro?
- The Night Height Micro is a lightweight micro red dot riser that raises your optic to a 2.91" optical centerline, perfect for passive aiming with NODs.
- What are Salt risers?
- Salt risers are slim, lightweight riser plates that boost micro red dots to 1.93" or higher, helping shooters achieve faster target acquisition and a more upright head position. These were designed for lasers and thermals but can work with any picatinny device.
- Are Overbore risers compatible with Aimpoint and Holosun optics?
- Yes. All risers we carry are designed to fit standard micro red dot footprints (like T1/T2 or 403/503), ensuring cross-compatibility with Aimpoint and Holosun models.
- Why use a tall optic riser?
- Taller risers reduce neck strain, improve mobility with helmets or gear, and enable passive aiming through night vision devices without breaking your shooting posture.
- Are Overbore Systems risers durable?
- Absolutely. They’re machined from high-grade aluminum and designed to withstand recoil, impacts, and hard use in professional environments.
- Is the Kenu riser quick-detach?
- No. The Kenu mounts with standard screws for maximum stability and minimal bulk—prioritizing strength over QD convenience.
- Where is Overbore Systems based?
