QD mount
A quick-detach mount: a lever or throw clamp takes the scope off the rail without tools. Worth it only if it goes back to the same zero, so mark the rail slot.

Optics it fits
iRayUSA says: iRayUSA page names "RICO Mk1, RICO Bravo, and RICO ALPHA"; the datasheet says "COMPATIBILITY: RICO Series (excluding MICRO)", so every non-Micro RICO is linked (Chad, October 13, 2026). Nocpix USA sells the same IRAY-AC03 for the MATE ULTRA.

Tube center above the rail is calculated only when the mount maker says where its height is measured from and the optic maker states a tube diameter; each blank says which figure is missing.

| Geometry | |
| Height, as published Scope height over bore How far the scope's center sits above the barrel's center. It decides your cheek weld and the bullet's path at close range. We calculate only the part above the rail, where makers publish it. | Not published |
| Cantilever Cantilever mount A one-piece mount whose rings sit forward of the rail clamp, usually about 2 in. It moves the scope forward so a thermal's short eye relief works on an AR-15's flat-top rail. | Not stated |
| Forward offset Cantilever mount A one-piece mount whose rings sit forward of the rail clamp, usually about 2 in. It moves the scope forward so a thermal's short eye relief works on an AR-15's flat-top rail. | Not published |
| Weight and build | |
| Weight Weight How heavy the device is. Check whether the maker weighed it with or without the battery, because brands do it differently. | 0.1 lb (0.06 kg)2.18 oz (iRayUSA datasheet) |
| Material | 6061 T6 aluminum, type 3 hard coat anodize |
| Buying | |
| Made in | USA |
| Warranty Warranty How long the maker promises to repair or replace a faulty unit. Check whether it needs registration and whether it passes to a second owner. | 5 years (iRayUSA datasheet) |
| Maker part number | IRAY-AC03 |
| US price US price The price we found for the unit in the US, with where it came from and when. Prices change often, so treat it as a snapshot. | $199iRayUSA store (irayusa.com); datasheet MAP $199; Nocpix USA also lists it at $199 |
Conflicts: the datasheet says WARRANTY 5 Years while the page copy says "American Defense MFG, LLC. products feature a lifetime warranty"; the product page UPC is 850029093183, the datasheet prints 850029093053. Nocpix USA gives a 1.50 in centerline height for the MATE ULTRA on this mount; that is the optic's height on it, not a mount figure, so height is null.
