A higher optic allows for a more athletic “Heads-up” posture that enables you to maintain a vertical spine which translates to body armor or “presenting plates” to the threat. This “Heads-up” style allows for faster processing speed and increased situational awareness.
Lerna is the first stand-alone optic mount designed with a 2.91” Optic Centerline for faster target ID, regardless of equipment obstructions such as EarPro/Comms headsets, Gas masks/CBRN, and Night vision use.
If your optic sits too low; your head drops, your eyes shift, your posture breaks and that costs time. The difference is immediate. Less strain on your neck, faster target transitions and better awareness when it counts.

I'm on my department's SWAT Team (part-time team). We do not run with night vision and do not use any type of PEQ's. Thus, I never had a need to buy the Hydra V2 mount (even though I wanted to). I purchased the Lerna Mount for my Eotech HWS XPS2 and the 2.91 FTX Magnifier Mount for my Eotech G43. Both mounts were easy to install, QR code guide answers any questions you might have. Looks great and works even better.
Shooting from a higher mounted optic has taken a little bit to get accustomed to, but I'll be damned if a couple of Navy Seals didn't know exactly what they were talking about. My situational awareness/peripheral vision is much better, I can actually look around and get back on my sight much easier, if I need to. The adjustment in my shooting posture feels much more relaxed and natural. It is much more comfortable and easier to acquire my sight with my gas mask on as well. Even my arch nemesis, shooting on the move, seems easier and more accurate now.
I run the magnifier mount right up next to the Lerna mount. The magnifier's quick remove lever fits snug and out of the way along the side of the Lerna mount, a neat piece of design engineering that shows how well thought through and put together the system is.
FYI you might as well buy some of the reusable fabric tape while getting the Lerna and Magnifier mount. It has come in handy more times than I can count.
Ordered this in FDE to use with my EOTECH optic. Lined up perfect and have had no issues at all. It did arrive as more of a bronze than FDE, but the sight did say the colors may not be exact. Easy to put on and works great! Thank you!
It’s the perfect height for me I love it.
