Overview
Built for mounting a 30mm scope on a Picatinny rail, this cantilever setup uses a 2" offset to help position the optic for proper eye relief while preserving rail space. The 1.50" center scope height gives a clear, straightforward fit for setups that need a little extra forward placement. At 5.39 oz., it stays relatively light without adding unnecessary bulk to the rifle. It is a practical choice for hunters and shooters setting up a rifle for range work or recoil-heavy use where consistent scope placement matters.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- The 2" offset is useful for dialing in head position and eye relief, but it also means the optic sits forward on the rail, so fitment should be checked against your setup.
- This mount is built for 30mm tubes only, so it is not a universal option for other scope sizes.
- The 1.50" center scope height may suit many rifles, but it may not match every cheek weld or stock configuration.
- Installation calls for Torx T-25 tools and specific torque values, so proper setup depends on having the right wrench and following the spec closely.
