AR-15 Optics Mount – Best Scope & Red Dot Mounts for Accuracy
AR-15 Optics Mount – Precision Mounts for Tactical & Competition Use
Looking to improve your accuracy and adaptability on your AR-15 platform? An AR-15 optics mount is the backbone of any modern rifle setup. Whether you’re running a red dot, magnified scope, or iron sight co-witness, Mounts Plus carries the industry’s top-rated mounts to get you on target—fast.
What Is an AR-15 Optics Mount?
An optics mount allows you to attach scopes, red dots, and reflex sights securely to your AR-15's rail system. The right mount ensures proper eye relief, maintains zero under recoil, and helps you achieve faster sight alignment.
We stock a wide selection including:
- Cantilever mounts for extended eye relief
- Riser mounts for co-witness or height adjustment
- Quick-detach (QD) mounts for fast optic changes
- Scope rings and combo mounts for 1", 30mm, and 34mm optics
Why Choose the Right AR-15 Mount?
The wrong mount can ruin even the best optic. A poorly aligned or unstable mount leads to:
- Inconsistent zero retention
- Poor accuracy at range
- Eye fatigue or parallax issues
At Mounts Plus, we only offer battle-tested brands like:
- Bobro Engineering
- Nightforce
- Primary Arms
- Samson Manufacturing
- Vortex Optics
- Timber Creek
Choosing the Best AR-15 Optics Mount for Your Needs
Ask yourself:
- Are you running a red dot or LPVO (low power variable optic)?
- Red dot? ➜ Consider riser or QD mounts for rapid transitions
- LPVO? ➜ Use cantilever mounts for better eye relief
- Do you need co-witness with iron sights?
- Look for absolute or lower 1/3 co-witness risers
- Fixed vs. quick detach?
- QD mounts offer modularity
- Fixed mounts are often lighter and more affordable
