Taller scope rings?

So I put scope on my AR-15 with one inch tall scope rings, but it's still a touch low for me to comfortably and naturally see through with my cheek on the butt stock. I can't seem to find rings taller than one inch. Does anyone make such a thing?

Use a riser and that should make your rings tall enough.

You might consider going to the Rock River site and looking at their ring mounts.

They are designed to give you what you need.

Many AR mounts are described as "lower 1/3" and "absolute" co-witness

Lower 1/3 is higher than absolute.

Absolute will put the center of the scope at the same point approximately as the iron sights.

1/3 is higher, puts the lower part of the scope at the same level of the iron sights.

May help for future purchases
