Risers

Airsoft Risers – Optimal viewing height and maximum comfort for every setup

An airsoft riser is the solution for achieving the ideal viewing height for your rifle scope or red dot sight. A riser mount raises your optics by a few millimetres to centimetres, making your shoulder position feel more natural and allowing you to aim comfortably at all times, even with full-face masks or helmets. The right riser not only ensures comfort, but also improves your reaction time and precision, as your line of sight is perfectly aligned with your playing style.

Airsoft Legends offers a carefully selected range of risers from brands such as Aim-O and Leapers for a variety of situations and platforms. From low to high risers for scopes, to quick-detach models for fast changes between optics or platforms: each riser is designed for stability, durability and maximum compatibility with well-known Picatinny and Weaver rails.

Why choose Airsoft Risers – More visibility, better ergonomics and maximum control?

Airsoft risers solve the classic problem of optics being too low in one fell swoop: you no longer have to duck or bend your head unnaturally to see through your sights properly. A riser brings your line of sight to the ideal height, improves your control when aiming and ensures an ergonomic shooting position, even when using masks or higher scopes. What's more, risers make it easier to switch between scopes or red dots, so your setup remains flexible in any scenario.

What will you find in this category?

• Low, medium and high risers for different viewing heights
• Fixed and quick-detach models for quick or permanent mounting
• Compatible with Picatinny and Weaver rails
• Riser mounts for scopes, red dots and magnifiers
• Sturdy aluminium constructions for stability and durability
• Brands such as Aim-O and Leapers for optimal finish and fit

Who is this suitable for?

Airsoft risers are ideal for players who want to combine comfort, ergonomics, precision and efficiency. Players with full face masks benefit from a more comfortable viewing height, DMR and rifle players place their optics higher for better visibility, and all-round players use risers to flexibly adjust their loadout without compromising stability or control. A riser is simple, effective and immediately noticeable in any playstyle.

Frequently asked questions about Airsoft Risers

Does an airsoft riser fit on any rail?

Most risers fit standard 20mm Picatinny rails, but always check that your rail type matches the riser's specifications.

What is the difference between a high and low riser?

High risers significantly raise your line of sight and are ideal for larger optics or use with masks. Low risers offer subtle elevation for a tighter, lower shooting position.

Are quick-detach risers sturdy enough?

Modern quick-detach models offer the same sturdiness as fixed risers, but with the added benefit of being able to change or remove your optics in a flash without tools.

Can I combine multiple risers?

It is technically possible, but rarely recommended. One high-quality riser is usually sufficient for the correct viewing height.
