The GBRS Group HYDRA V2 is a high-rise mount designed for EOTech XPS holographic sights. It positions the sight's optical axis 2.91" / approximately 73.9 mm above the mounting rail. An elevated front Picatinny platform provides space for a compatible laser aiming module, light, thermal optic, or other accessory while freeing up valuable space on the handguard.
The HYDRA V2 positions the EOTech XPS sight's optical axis 2.91" / approximately 73.9 mm above the top surface of the mounting rail. The elevated position supports a more upright head posture and can make the optic easier to use with a helmet, communications headset, protective mask, or night vision device.
The front of the mount features an elevated Picatinny platform for compatible accessories such as a laser aiming module, weapon light, or thermal optic. Moving accessories above the primary optic mount frees up handguard space, particularly on compact platforms with limited rail length.
This HYDRA V2 version is specifically designed for EOTech XPS holographic sights. GBRS offers separate versions for EOTech EXPS sights and other optic configurations, so the mount must be selected according to the specific sight.
The mount's neck incorporates an opening that can be used for cable routing or as a sight channel for backup iron sights. On the second-generation HYDRA, this opening has been enlarged and the neck reinforced.
Compared with the original version, the HYDRA V2 has a shorter rear base that allows a compatible FTC magnifier mount to be positioned closer to the primary optic. Pass-through openings provide easier access to the optic mounting screws, while the front platform includes holes for directly mounting a compatible laser aiming module.
The mount body is machined from 6061-T6 aluminum and protected by a Type III Class 2 hard-anodized finish compliant with MIL-A-8625. The clamping bar and screws are made from 17-4 PH stainless steel in H900 condition and feature a Melonite QPQ finish. The washers are made from 18-8 stainless steel.
The EOTech XPS version weighs approximately 6.5 oz / 184 g. The package includes the HYDRA V2 mount and a 1/4" T25 bit for installation.
The mount is designed, manufactured, and assembled in the United States.
