The Hawke Picatinny to Picatinny Riser 0.5" / 13mm (5" / 127mm Length) is a mechanical mounting rail designed to elevate rifle optics by 0.5 inches (13 mm). Machined from high-grade aluminium with a matte black anodised finish, this riser attaches directly to existing Picatinny (MIL-STD-1913) or Weaver base rails using dual hex clamp screws (3 mm hex fixings). Its 5.0-inch (127 mm) length provides a continuous top Picatinny rail to support paired ring configurations, wide-spaced scope bodies, or inline multi-optic setups while weighing 118 g.

Key Features

• 0.5-Inch Optic Elevation: Adds 13 mm of clearance above the base rail to prevent large scope objective bells from contacting rifle barrels or handguards.
• 5-Inch Mounting Platform: Delivers an overall length of 127 mm, providing the rail space necessary for standard scope ring spacing or inline red dot and magnifier combinations.
• Secure Dual Hex Mounting: Clamps to standard Picatinny and Weaver rails using dual 3 mm hex screws to maintain a stable optic platform.
• Lightweight Aluminium Construction: High-grade aluminium body with a matte black anodised finish adds 118 g to the firearm platform.

Who is the Hawke Picatinny to Picatinny 0.5" Riser 5" Long for?

• Precision long-range target shooters — Provides a 0.5-inch (13 mm) elevation rise across a 5.0-inch (127 mm) continuous platform, giving this Picatinny scope rail riser the clearance needed to mount scopes with oversized objective lenses over heavy-profile barrels without handguard contact.
• Hunters configuring inline tactical or modern sporting rifle platforms — Delivers a 13 mm height increase to correct cheek weld and eye alignment on straight-comb stocks, utilizing a 127 mm rail length that accommodates tandem optic setups such as a red dot paired with a magnifier while adding 118 g to the build.

Less suitable for: Firearm platforms equipped with 9–11 mm or 3/8-inch dovetail rails (which require a dovetail-to-Picatinny conversion base), ultra-compact single micro red-dot setups needing less than 2.5 inches of rail space (which are better served by a 2.5-inch compact Picatinny riser), or extreme long-range setups requiring built-in elevation compensation (which require a dedicated 20 MOA canted rail base).
