Optic accessories raise, protect, and fine-tune the optics on a rifle or pistol. The category covers riser mounts that raise an optic to the right height and sight caps that protect the lens, along with other add-ons for optics. Military users, law enforcement officers, and competitive shooters all rely on optic accessories to keep their sights set up and protected.

Options include optic risers, sight caps, and more from top brands like Unity Tactical and One Hundred Concepts. Risers are matched to the optic's mounting height, and caps are made to fit specific optics.

Think about how the optic is used. A riser lifts a rail-mounted red dot or holographic sight higher above the rail, which lets the shooter keep their head up and can be more comfortable when wearing a helmet, night vision, or a gas mask with a plate carrier. Match the riser to the optic's mounting height: some sights mount at lower 1/3 co-witness height and others at absolute co-witness height, and the riser has to suit the one on the rifle. A sight cap covers the lens to protect it from dirt, scratches, and debris while the rifle is carried or stored. Some caps add a honeycomb kill flash that breaks up sunlight reflecting off the lens, which can reveal a shooter's position, and attach with a cord so the cap can be pulled aside and stays tethered to the optic. Caps are made for specific optics, so check the fit before ordering.

Pair risers and caps with rifle red dots, holographic sights, or magnifiers. See more optics for the rest of the setup.
