1.54" vs 1.93" vs 2.26" - The Best AR-15 Optic Height? | 9-Hole Reviews
This video from 9-Hole Reviews, presented by MidwayUSA, delves into the optimal optic height for AR-15 platforms. Experts Henry and Josh analyze how optic mounting heights have evolved, from early carry handle mounts to modern configurations. They discuss the ergonomic and tactical advantages of higher mounts, particularly for use with body armor and night vision, while also detailing the ballistic trade-offs involved. The analysis highlights that while modern trends favor higher mounts for a 'heads-up' shooting posture, the best choice depends on the specific application, with lower mounts still being superior for precision or prone shooting.
