Product Description
Achieving the perfect cheek weld and optimal eye relief on a modern sporting rifle or AR-platform can be a challenge with standard scope rings. The Vortex Pro Extended Cantilever Mount solves this problem by providing the precise height and forward offset required for flat-top rifles. By pushing the optic further forward, this mount ensures your head rests naturally on the stock, allowing for rapid target acquisition and a comfortable, stress-free shooting posture—even when utilizing scopes with long eye relief.
Proudly manufactured in the USA, the Vortex Pro Extended Cantilever Mount is a testament to precision engineering. It is machined from a single solid block of high-strength, aircraft-grade 6061-T6 aluminum, ensuring maximum rigidity and absolute zero-retention under heavy recoil. The mount positions the center of your riflescope tube at a highly ergonomic height of 1.435 inches (36.45mm) above the base. Despite its robust construction and wide clamping area, the streamlined design keeps the overall weight down to a mere 7 ounces, preventing your rifle from feeling top-heavy.
Available for 1-inch, 30mm, and 34mm main tubes, this mount attaches securely to any standard MIL-STD-1913 Picatinny rail. The horizontally split rings simplify the installation and leveling process while ensuring even clamping pressure around your delicate optic tube. Finished in a durable, glare-reducing matte black hard-coat anodization and backed by the legendary Vortex VIP Unconditional Lifetime Warranty, this cantilever mount is the ultimate foundation for your tactical or sporting optic.
