Upgrade your rifle optics setup with the Vortex Pro Extended
1 Inch Cantilever Mount, engineered for precise scope alignment and improved
shooting comfort. Designed specifically for 1-inch (25.4mm) scope tubes, this
mount provides the correct height and forward positioning needed for optimal
eye relief on modern rifles.
Featuring a 2-inch forward offset and a centre height of
approximately 1.44 inches (36.45mm), this mount allows for proper scope
placement without requiring additional rail space. It is ideal for AR-style
platforms and other rifles where achieving correct eye relief can be
challenging.
Constructed from durable 6061 aluminium, the one-piece
design delivers excellent strength and rigidity while keeping weight to a
minimum. The matte black anodised finish reduces glare and enhances resistance
to wear and corrosion, making it suitable for demanding field conditions.
The mount is fully compatible with Picatinny rails and uses
robust hex bolts to ensure a secure hold under recoil. Horizontally split rings
simplify installation and help maintain even clamping pressure, protecting your
optic while ensuring consistent performance.
