Recommendations for FWB 2700 Light risers

Post by redchile »

Recommendations on sight risers (which can be off set) for the FWB 2700 Light? Has anyone tried the Tec-Hro 2 sight risers?
Thanks

I have both the Tec-Hro and the Central Club blocks. Both work. The Tec-Rho has two off-set positions, 4mm and 8mm from memory, whereas the Central is 4mm only. The rounded corners of the Tec-Hro are kinder to the foam in my cases than the sharp-edged Centra. However I think the Central is sturdier, after breaking the clamping bolt on the Tec-Hro front Base. The Central also comes with extra riser adaptors, but Tec-Hro sell these separately.

Terri ... go with the Club risers first. They are cheaper and as was stated you do not have to buy separate posts.
Find the height she likes ... the Clubs allow that.

We all have different experiences ... Tim finds the Club more rugged, me the Tec-Hro's.

Rach uses both

I use the Centra risers, after buying a set from Tec-Hro.

While I like many of Tec-Hro's products (their sights, their stocks, their handstops, their offhand stand), I'm not a fan of their risers - they are poorly measured, and/or machined. I sent the set I had back to them, they sent another pair to me. It had exactly the same issue as the first set.

The Centra set with the off-set that I purchased from a member here ended up fitting my 2700 perfectly, and work as designed.
