Athlon Cantilever Mount, 30 mm

1. Optimal Eye Relief: This cantilever mount provides the essential forward offset required for proper eye relief on AR-15 and similar platforms. It positions your riflescope ideally over the receiver, allowing for comfortable and consistent target acquisition without interference from the stock or iron sights.

2. Robust Construction: Precision-machined from aerospace-grade 7075-T6 aluminium, the mount delivers exceptional strength-to-weight ratio. The durable hard-anodized finish protects against corrosion, abrasions, and harsh environmental conditions, ensuring longevity and reliable performance.

3. Enhanced Stability: The one-piece design inherently offers greater rigidity and alignment compared to two-piece ring setups, minimizing any potential for flex or movement. Integrated recoil stoppers securely anchor the mount to the Picatinny rail, guaranteeing consistent zero retention even under sustained heavy recoil.

4. Secure Mounting Hardware: Features multiple Torx screws for both the scope rings and rail clamps, ensuring a steadfast hold. The recommended torque specifications (1.7-2.8 Nm for rings and 2.3-5 Nm for clamps) provide maximum security without overtightening or damaging your optic.

ABOUT THE Athlon Cantilever Mount, 30 mm

The Athlon Cantilever Mount, 30 mm, represents a crucial accessory for hunters, tactical operators, and sport shooters utilising AR-15 type rifles. Its distinct cantilever design positions the riflescope forward, providing the optimal eye relief needed for comfortable and consistent shooting on platforms with short upper receivers or where a longer eye relief is necessary due to stock position. Crafted with meticulous precision from 7075-T6 aircraft-grade aluminium, this mount offers extraordinary strength and rigidity while remaining remarkably lightweight. This material choice, combined with a hard-anodized finish, ensures exceptional durability and resistance to harsh environmental elements such as moisture and abrasion. The one-piece construction guarantees superior alignment and stability for your optic, minimising any potential for shift or flex that can compromise accuracy. Integrated recoil lugs firmly engage the Picatinny rail, effectively preventing any movement under heavy recoil, thus ensuring unwavering zero retention. This makes it an ideal solution for maintaining precision and reliability in diverse shooting scenarios.
