I absolutely love my Tavor, but........

[Can Can]

Ok lads, I need some help. I love almost everything about my Tavor, but my German cheekbones are seriously impacting my ability to use the gun efficiently. I simply cannot get a good sight picture with the factory-supplied irons(sit too low for me), although the integrated flip-ups are a little better. None of my optics sit high enough on the rail to allow me to fire the gun without literally crushing my cheek onto the stock.

I've heard there is an aftermarket rail that sits a little higher, but I would like some real world answers to my problem. I need another 1/8th of an inch higher than the integrated sights to shoot comfortably. If I can't solve this, a next-to-new Tar-21 will be on the EE within a week, and I'd rather not take a hit on a brand new gun by selling it with less than 200 rounds down the barrel......

Help!!!!

Put your optic on a riser mount

What about a high mount aimpoint micro ?

Lower 1/3 mounts work great for red dots.
Im about to try a 1/2 riser rail for a scope, but this adds weight.

X2...I don't think you can get a 1/8" riser(?),but I've seen as low as 1/4".
Simple Google search for "Picatinny Riser" should yield plenty of results for ya.

That'll be Zahal selling the razorback rail

I just checked my M5 and, measuring from the top of the rail between the lugs, the window starts at about 34mm above the rail and ends at 55 mm above the rail, making the centre at a smidge more than 45mm. I remounted my Aimpoint PRO with the spacer installed and the centre of the tube looks to be at the same height--although it's a bit hard to locate the exact centre.

I also found my sights too low to shoot comfortably so a cheap but effective fix for me was to use a riser from UTG I got from Amazon cheap but well made and solid it solved my issues till I got my AR-536 sight which sits high enough on its own that I didn't need it anymore

http://www.amazon.ca/UTG-Medium-Profile-Riser-Mount/dp/B003TX2BD4 For a short one

I have a full length razorback, it's a nice rail. Thinking of getting a short one tho to save some weight.
