MonoLift™ Riser-The UK SOF Chosen Riser For The Romeo8T

The MonoLift™ Riser, originally developed under the 2022 UK Ministry of Defence (MoD) contract, has transitioned from a specialized military accessory to a premier solution for the commercial market.

Engineered for shooters who demand precise alignment and ergonomic benefits, the MonoLift provides a streamlined, lightweight, and versatile option for mounting optics and AR accessories. Optics are not included. 

Features and Benefits of the best Romeo8T Riser 

• Optimized Heads-Up Posture: The MonoLift places both the Romeo8T and Juliet4 on the same 2.26” optical center, enabling a more ergonomic, heads-up posture for extended shooting sessions. 
• Compact Design: Shortens the overall length footprint of the Romeo8T and Juliet4 by 0.240”, streamlining the rifle’s profile. 
• Cable Management and Stability: Includes two aligned retention holes for securely lashing or wiring the Romeo8T and Juliet4, ensuring a clean and stable setup. 
• Rearward Placement Capability: Offers the ability to place the Juliet4 up to 5 Picatinny slots further rearward compared to directly mounting to the upper receiver. This allows for better balance and custom positioning.
