  • Hard coat T3 Mil-Spec anodized finish

Considerations & Trade-offs

  • This is a low-profile mount with no built-in eye relief, so scope placement must be set up by the rifle and optic rather than the mount itself.
  • It is designed for 30mm optics and a 0 MOA setup, so it may not suit rifles or shooting setups that call for different ring size or built-in elevation.
  • As the lowest mount in the line, it prioritizes a compact profile over added height, which can limit flexibility for certain optic/cheek weld combinations.
  • The QD Auto Lock lever is intended to fit both in-spec and out-of-spec rail systems, but that versatility may come with more setup attention than a fixed mount.
