With a <strong>2.26&#8243; optical centerline<\/strong>, the ACRO-226&#x2122; provides an elevated, heads-up shooting position specifically suited to modern rifle configurations and night vision applications.<\/p>\n<p>Built as part of Kastle Group&#8217;s <strong>FORTRESS&#x2122; mounting system<\/strong>, the ACRO-226&#x2122; combines a precision-machined <strong>7075-T651 aluminum body<\/strong> with Kastle&#8217;s titanium <strong>K-Clamp&#x2122; mounting system<\/strong>.

This elevated position allows the shooter to maintain a more heads-up posture while providing additional clearance between the optic and other equipment on the rifle.<\/p>\n<p>The 2.26&#8243; height has become particularly popular for <strong>night vision and passive aiming configurations<\/strong>, where optic height can play an important role in maintaining a natural head position behind the rifle.<\/p>\n<p>For shooters who want more elevation than a traditional 1.93&#8243; mount, the ACRO-226&#x2122; provides the additional height without requiring a bulky or unnecessarily heavy mounting solution.<\/p>\n<h3>Titanium K-Clamp&#x2122; Mounting System<\/h3>\n<p>Kastle Group&#8217;s <strong>K-Clamp&#x2122; mounting system<\/strong> is designed around a titanium clamp that securely interfaces with the rifle&#8217;s Picatinny rail.<\/p>\n<p>The system provides a rigid mounting interface while keeping the overall weight of the mount low. This makes the ACRO-226&#x2122; well suited for rifles where maintaining a lightweight and balanced configuration is important.<\/p>\n<h3>Built for Night Vision<\/h3>\n<p>The ACRO-226&#x2122; is an excellent choice for rifles configured around <strong>helmet-mounted night vision, IR lasers, and passive aiming<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The elevated optic position can provide additional clearance around night vision equipment while allowing the shooter to maintain a more upright head position. This makes the ACRO-226&#x2122; especially useful for modern night vision rifle setups where traditional optic heights may not provide the desired clearance or shooting posture.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>FORTRESS&#x2122; accessory-ready<\/strong> design also allows compatible Kastle Group accessories to be incorporated into the overall weapon configuration.<\/p>\n<h3>Lightweight 7075-T651 Construction<\/h3>\n<p>The ACRO-226&#x2122; is precision machined from <strong>7075-T651 aluminum<\/strong> and finished with a <strong>Type III MIL-SPEC hardcoat anodized finish<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>This combination provides a durable and corrosion-resistant mounting platform while keeping unnecessary weight off the rifle.<\/p>\n<h3>Specifications<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Model:<\/strong> ACRO-226&#x2122;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Optical Centerline:<\/strong> 2.26&#8243;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Optic Footprint:<\/strong> Aimpoint\u00ae ACRO&#x2122;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Material:<\/strong> 7075-T651 aluminum<\/li>\n<li><strong>Mounting System:<\/strong> Titanium K-Clamp&#x2122;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Rail Interface:<\/strong> MIL-STD-1913 Picatinny<\/li>\n<li><strong>Finish:<\/strong> Type III MIL-SPEC hardcoat anodized<\/li>\n<li><strong>Accessory Compatibility:<\/strong> FORTRESS&#x2122; ecosystem<\/li>\n<li><strong>Country of Manufacture:<\/strong> USA<\/li>\n<li><strong>Warranty:<\/strong> Lifetime manufacturer warranty<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Why Buy the Kastle Group ACRO-226&#x2122; from Custom Night Vision?<\/h3>\n<p>The <strong>Kastle Group ACRO-226&#x2122;<\/strong> is an excellent choice for shooters looking for a lightweight and durable <strong>2.26&#8243; ACRO-footprint optic mount<\/strong> for a modern rifle configuration.<\/p>\n<p>Its combination of <strong>7075-T651 aluminum construction, titanium K-Clamp&#x2122; mounting technology, elevated 2.26&#8243; optical centerline, and FORTRESS&#x2122; accessory compatibility<\/strong> makes it a natural fit for rifles configured around night vision, IR lasers, passive aiming, and other modern weapon accessories.<\/p>\n<p>At Custom Night Vision, we specialize in night vision systems and the accessories used to build complete night-vision-compatible rifles.
