Quality QD 1/2" riser

[Rust]

I'm looking to keep my scope on the same plane as my BUIS which is about 1.4 inches from the top of my receiver. I have a larue 5/8" riser on the way whenever the USPS cures it's cranial rectumitis. But that with the .95 center height of my rings (35mm) puts me a little to high. The only other quick disconnect riser I've seen is GG&G's which looks good, but I have not heard much of anything about them. And they run another $25 more than a Larue. Are there any others out there you guys know about that would be worth considering.

I don't remember anybody else who makes QD risers except LaRue and GG&G. There are some semi-QD risers, like RRA (which a BUIS won't fit behind), but they're thumbscrew mounts, not lever mounts.

ARMS makes QD risers, as well.

Thanks for pointing the arms out, but the only listing I see is for a 3/4 lift which is to much. I'll see if anyone else chimes in, if not I'll pick up a GG&G and see how it and the larue compare. Any one use the GG&G or one of their other QD mounts that they can offer an opinion on?

this seems of decent quality to me

I think you didn't notice there were additional pages on ARMS website.

I'm confused here, though... why get QD riser instead of QD rings? Or why not get a LaRue mount? Ring size the issue?

I'm mounting one of the SH 3x18 IOR's. The gun its going on has a 20" mid weight Sabre def. Grendel upper. So I'm looking for a riser for a couple reasons. First, it came with Seekins rings and I feel they are as good as any, and better than most. I also want to be able to pull it on and off since it's not really built to be solely a paper puncher. And last I don't know that any one at all makes a quick detach 35mm ring let alone one thats the right height. I could go higher, and will if I have to or find that a taller mount (LaRue) is that much superior. Also in the future I think I will build a rifle of some sort strictly to be a long range gun and would rather not buy high rings I'd only be able to use on an AR with a 35mm scope. With a riser I can swap the scope I have to a new host, and put a smaller more practical scope into this upper.
I think that ARMS mount is the one I looked at on their site earlier. I don't see any measurements for that one specifically, but the other models like it (shorter length) list a 3/4" rise. So for the money I would rather get the cheaper and generally better reviewed LaRue. Do you know of a 35mm QD ring set I should look at?

The ARMS 19 isn't Picatinny spec, either, if that matters. The slots are the right size, but the spacing's all weird. They do that on several of their mounts - I have no idea why.

Nor do I understand it. It will work, but yeah, it's upper rail isn't pic-spec.

It's ARMS - they rarely make sense.

On the OPs question - I think you'll be just fine and happy with the small extra height of the LaRue. I doubt you'll even notice it.
