The Unity FAST MRO mount revolutionized optic mounting philosophy when it introduced the now-coveted 2.23-inch height to the tactical market. While traditional lower 1/3 co-witness mounts served well for decades, Unity's innovative approach to elevated optic height has become the gold standard for modern shooters seeking enhanced performance with or without night vision devices. This mounting system represents more than just added height - it's a fundamental shift in how professional users approach optic positioning.
The Unity FAST mount accommodates both standard MRO and MRO HD optics despite their notable differences. While both share the same mounting footprint, the MRO HD features a larger objective lens and modified housing for enhanced light transmission and a larger field of view. Unity's precision-machined mounting interface accounts for these differences, ensuring proper clearance for the HD's larger objective while maintaining optimal mounting rigidity for both variants. This dual compatibility proves particularly valuable for shooters who may upgrade from the standard MRO to the HD model, eliminating the need for a new mounting solution.
The Unity FAST mount's 2.23" height bridges the gap between traditional mounts and the demands of modern shooting. While competitors offer 1.93" or 2.04" options, Unity's specific 2.23" height was developed through extensive testing to achieve optimal neck positioning and situational awareness. This height proves particularly advantageous for shooters running night vision, plate carriers, or those seeking a more heads-up shooting position. Understanding mount heights helps define the FAST MRO's position in the market. Traditional absolute co-witness sits at approximately 1.41", with lower 1/3 at 1.63". The jump to 1.93" gained popularity with LPVO users, while 2.04" emerged as an intermediate solution. Unity's 2.23" height, however, represents the sweet spot for modern tactical applications, offering superior peripheral vision and reduced neck strain during extended use.
The direct mounting interface eliminates unnecessary complexity while maintaining zero-retention reliability. This simplified approach to mounting, combined with the optimized height, delivers a mounting solution that excels in both professional and competition environments. For MRO users transitioning from traditional mount heights, the FAST system's improved ergonomics become immediately apparent, particularly during dynamic shooting scenarios or when wearing ear protection.
This mounting system shines brightest in conjunction with night vision devices, where the additional height provides crucial clearance for unobstructed passive aiming. The elevated position also promotes faster target transitions and improved situational awareness - critical advantages whether you're running drills or competing in tactical competitions.
