Vortex Viper Extended Cantilever 1 inch Mount

1. Optimized Eye Relief: The 50.8 mm (2 inch) forward cantilever design of this mount is specifically engineered to position your riflescope for optimal eye relief on AR-15 type rifles and other flat-top platforms. This critical feature ensures a comfortable and consistent sight picture, preventing neck strain during extended use and providing ample space for other accessories or iron sights.

2. Robust Construction: Crafted from aircraft-grade 6061-T6 aluminium and finished with a durable hard-anodized coating, this mount is built to withstand the rigours of recoil and harsh field conditions. Its robust construction ensures unwavering stability and zero retention, making it a reliable choice for demanding shooters, including tactical users and hunters who require unfailing performance.

3. Secure Mounting System: Featuring four Torx screws per ring and two strong cross-bolt clamps for the Picatinny rail, the Viper Extended Cantilever Mount offers exceptional gripping power. This precise design minimises movement and ensures your scope remains perfectly aligned, even under sustained firing, a paramount consideration for precision shooting.

4. Integrated Recoil Lug: An essential design element, the integrated recoil lug at the base of the mount solidly engages with your Picatinny rail. This mechanism effectively counters the forces of recoil, preventing any creeping or shifting of the mount. It’s a key factor for maintaining pinpoint accuracy and consistent shot placement, especially with powerful cartridges during hunting expeditions.
