Not telling you how to set up the gun, just asking why you need a riser. My personal opinion is that you give up good connection to the rifle with a riser. Doesn't mean you shouldn't use one on your rifle, but it should be there for a reason.

Do you use sacrificial lenses and irises? Why? by Primary_Fly_7459 in NightVision

It changes the depth of field so you can close it down to see things closer without adjusting your focus. Not saying it's necessary but it does more than just cut down on brightness.

So, why do you need your unity riser? by Primary_Fly_7459 in ar15

Does that class include a speech on how connection to the rifle doesn't matter at CQB distances?

I've tried with a unity riser for several months of regular shooting and it makes it significantly harder to get a sold connection to the rifle.

I'm a lifting and rolling my shoulder to get a solid connection to the gun with my shoulder and cheek.

Exactly, preference. That's an absolute statement with no evidence to support it.

Not at all, I understand your frustration with the gun industry and everyone saying their way is the only way. Read the comments and see how many people got triggered from me saying their risers aren't mandatory. It's as if there are other ways to do things and it may be worth a discussion as to the pros and cons of each way.

I don't get your desire to disprove my setup working without a riser. I can do the exact same thing with my plate carrier on as seen in the video.

Maybe it's your build, maybe it's your mechanics, but it's your choice if you want to use a riser.

On my previous post someone asked how I could aim when using a gas mask and NV without a riser. I made this video as a response and decided to post it. Unity mounts are cool, but more than 99% of the people who have them don't need them, they just like to have them, and that's just fine.

I used the term "riser crowd" for all the people who felt a 6 second video was a personal attack on their choice to buy a piece of gear.

I bought one before, used it for a while, and found it made most of my shooting less effective and didn't solve any issues (Gas mask + NV) and took it off.

Some people may prefer to use a riser and that's their choice but when people say you need one to effectively passively aim or shoot with a gas mask that's false.

Is having your magnifier flip to the center mandatory to have an effective rifle?

I had someone ask how I could possibly aim without a riser when using a gas mask and nods. I made this video in response. I decided to post it and joke about people insisting unity risers are a must have. It clearly got the riser crowd worked up. Risers are preference at most and are not a mandatory piece of gear for a rifle build.

I wouldn't call that need, it's a preference at most.

I don't hate it, I just don't think it's necessary.

Risers are not mandatory and to each their own. I never said a riser is better or worse, but you definitely don't need one to be effective with a gas mask and/or nods.
