Yes, the folded sights will partially block your view without a riser... the 1/2" riser also makes for a more comfortable cheek weld, IMO.

 

Ok. Amazon is showing a UTG Med-pro compact riser mount, .83" high with 3 slots along with a 1" mount on the same page as the RDS.

Should I look for a 1/2" riser as you suggested instead?

Thanks for your reply,

EDIT: I located a UTG 0.5" Picatinny Riser Mount, 3 slot on amazon and ordered it.
Thanks again for your help!

My TRS-25 came with a riser in the package, but I'm not using it. I'll see if I can dig it up, although I can't recall seeing it in the past several years.

 

Before I order the riser I read on a review page that the RDS doesn't come with a riser and will need to order one.

Thanks for the offer! I have ordered a 0.50" on Amazon.

If you're like me you'll never find that riser until one day when you're not looking for it then you find it!

 

A riser came with my 15-22. I mounted my sight without it, and the front sight does not interfere with the Dot. If it gave me any problem, I would just remove the front sight.

 

My TRS should be here tomorrow. Maybe it comes with a riser but it doesn't say anything about it. Either way I ordered a riser for it.

Check out the red dots from AT3 Tactical. Quality optics at great prices. :bthumb:

How bright is the dot in that sight? I have one of the ARO reflex sights on a pistol and it is barely usable in our bright sunlight. I ask because I have the 15-22 pistol and that would make a nice sight for it. Right now I am using a BSA 30 mm red dot on a riser that works well but it is big and bulky.

 

I got my TRS-25 mounted and partially sighted in. It didn't come with a riser. The 1" riser was perfect for good cheek weld for me.

Going to the range today and finish sighting it in at 25 yards.
