Overview
Built for mounting high-power optics on a flattop AR-15, this cantilever-style setup positions the scope forward to help achieve proper eye relief. It is also suited to full-size optics on shorter rails, including scout-style rifles, where mounting space can be limited. The mount is precision machined from 6061 T6 aluminum and finished with a hard coat T3 Mil-Spec anodize, with a Patented QD Auto Lock lever system designed to work with both in-spec and out-of-spec rail systems. For hunters and shooters who want a secure, quick-detach optic mount without relying on proprietary adjustment tools, it offers a practical, purpose-driven solution.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- Designed for a flattop-style AR-15 and scout-type rifles, so it is more specialized than a general-purpose optic mount.
- The cantilever layout places the optic farther forward, which helps with eye relief but also makes the setup longer overall on the rail.
- The 30mm ring size means it is intended for optics with a 30mm tube and will not fit other tube diameters.
- The QD Auto Lock lever system is built to work with both in-spec and out-of-spec rail systems, but that flexibility does not remove the need to confirm fit on the specific rifle and optic combination.
