Overview
Built for mounting a 1-inch scope on a Picatinny rail, this cantilever mount uses a 2-inch offset to help set head position and eye relief while preserving rail space. The 1.50-inch center scope height and lightweight 5.43-ounce design make it a practical choice for rifles set up for range use or field carry. Torx T-25 hardware and specified torque values provide a straightforward, repeatable installation. It is a focused mounting solution for shooters who want a clean setup without giving up room on the rail.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- The 2" offset is useful for dialing eye relief and head position, but it also means the optic sits forward on the rail rather than in a more compact mounting position.
- This mount is sized for 1-inch tubes only, so it will not fit larger scope tube diameters.
- It uses a Picatinny base and Torx T-25 hardware, so installation depends on having the correct bit and following the listed torque values.
- The 1.50" center scope height is a fixed fitment choice that may not suit every rifle, stock setup, or shooting position.
