Default Lower height AR15 mount

Hey, does anyone know of any mounts similar to this:
https://www.primaryarms.com/primary-...-inch-padlxsm1

... which puts the scope centerline LOWER than 1.5"?

.... that does not cost $200?

Thanks

Burris at 1.5 or 1.6, depending on model

Hmm...looks like you may need a cheek riser?

What stock and scope? For an ar15?

Actually that M4 thread gives me some other ideas. Backup plan would be a cheek riser but those are problematic on AR15 (I've got a separate check riser thread going on elsewhere).

Thanks!

PRI precision reflex mount is 1.3" to scope center. $148 is a little better for a quality mount.

Another option is a Yankee Hill cantilever .5" riser with low or medium rings. That will keep you at 1.2 or 1.3" high. I believe A2 rear sights are 1.3 to 1.4" high. I was able to transition from service rifle irons to optics fairly easily.

Yeah the riser thing with std rings is where I think I'll land.
