Riser Extension - for Optics Bridge

When I am sitting behind glass for 2 days on my tripod with the Optics Bridge, I notice that you have to lean forward a small amount to clear the 2 tripod legs.  Small amount and small issue, but after 2 days of it, it does get annoying.

The Riser Extension allows you to move the clamp backwards 1.65".  This small amount does not adversely affect the balance much and does fix the vertical alignment eliminating the need to lean in slightly.  Two of us ran it for a full 2 day match and it worked out great.

The Riser Extension can also be turned 90 degrees so it is inline with the Optics Bridge and becomes a riser to help your clamp screw clear the base of the Optics Bridge.  See photo for a visual and that knob in the photo is 0.8" for reference.

Another scenario is mounting scopes or small spotters on the Optics Bridge.  The Riser Extension can be oriented forward to shift weight in that direction, if need be.

The Riser Extension is for the Optics Bridge only.  It is double sided presenting alternate mounting options with 1/4-20 counter sunk center holes and standard ARMS17 1.1" 10-32 threaded hole pattern.  Comes with hardware to mount to the Optics Bridge. Weight is 2.5 ounces and is machined from 6061-T6 here in the USA.
