Vortex Sport Cantilever Ring
Best reliable mounting solution for achieving optimal optic placement.
This mount solves the cramped receiver problem by pushing your optic forward, creating the necessary room for magnifiers or backup sights. It’s a straightforward, rock-solid solution that prioritizes proper eye relief and a cleaner sight picture, though it forces a specific lower 1/3 co-witness height that might not suit every shooter's preference.
