Ultralight 30mm Scope Mount, SPR

Great product! Super lightweight from a reputable brand. Even cheaper than on the aero precision website.

I use these on many builds where it's not a duty optioned build. They are well made and lightweight, look good and install is fairly easy and straight forward. I like the look and so far the durability on my weekend warrior builds running LPVOs. No complaints as I have been using this mount, and others made by AERO, for years with no real issues.

Very lightweight, which was important to me because I put it on an AR 10 varient, which already was tipping the scales at 10 lbs before I put the scope on it. It holds zero well under the recoil of the 308 Winchester rounds I am shooting. It works at least as well as the Leopold mount I was using before. Mounting my Vortex 6.5-20 x 44 scope was easy, I was able to mount it level within minutes. I like the open sight line on the mount under the scope, it allows you to drop below the scope for close range shots. It isn't a precision way of taking a long range shot, but it should be adequate for 50 yards or less. It wouldn't be a backup for BUIS, but it could be useful if your offset BUIS were folded. Attachment of the mount to my Picatinny rail was easy, just three allen screws tightened using the provided allen key, which was also of very high quality (I wondered where they got them, if like to buy all the sizes). The mount is not quick release, but in my experience you lose zero easily with quick release, unless you spend big money.

I would say this is the lightest mount I have been able to find. Also super strong and very well made. I hope they make them QD some day. I would also recommend using blue LT on all.of the screws. Like most scopes they will lossen after shooting. Other than that great product for a great price.

Solid, lightweight, good design and rugged are all terms that describe this mount. The weight savings is amazing, though. It also has a slick hooking design at the top of the rings that makes sense and keeps your optic from rotating as it's tightened. And it lools great! The perfect forward offset lends itself to the perfect position on the rail. Mine is mounted on a 458 socom and has no problem holding zero, round after round, with a Weaver classic extreme 1.5-4.5x24 30mm. All these attributes combine to make this mount one of the most logical choices out there, especially at a price anyone can afford.

This is a very good product. When I first received it, I was surprised at just how light the mount actually is. I admit, I was skeptical at first but thus far I have not been disappointed with its performance. One thing to be aware of with this mount is in the design of the scope rings. They save weight and actually work great, but you might find it to be somewhat difficult to maintain the position of the scope's reticle after you level it when you go to torque the screws down to the final spec, unless you've used a lapping bar on them first (which you may or may not have). This is probably due to the fact that the rings only bolt from one side, so torquing the bolts all the way may cause your scope to rotate just a tiny tiny little bit. That being said, I'll admit that I am somewhat OCD about precisely leveling my scopes, so it's just something you might need to think about.

I was torn between giving this mount 4 or 5 stars. Reason for 4 star: the three screws used to lock down the mount provides a SOLID base. I mounted my Vortex Crossfire II and LOVED IT! HOWEVER...you knew that was coming. The CFII has such great eye relief that I wanted to move the mount forward one rail slot to take full advantage of the eye relief. Son-f-a-b@#$h...the area where the receiver rail meets the rail on the free-float hand guard prevents me from mounting the scope where I wanted to re-position it to maximize eye relief. The join creates a half inch area where another rail slot would be if the receiver were monolithic. That third screw/use of three screws causes this issue. I wanted my cheek weld for both scope and BUIS to be the same. The cheek weld is really close for me, so really not a big deal but is something to be aware of. This replaced a Primary Arms AR15 Basic Scope Mount, Black ($26!). I had no problems with the PA scope mount. In fact I love that mount. It uses a single screw to secure the mount to the rail and is ROCK SOLID in that regard. But the weight of the Aero mount, I could not resist. I will not repeat the glowing remarks posted by other reviewers, only tell you they are right. -The price is right/low for such a quality mount -The star wrench tool provided is my go to wrench for other devices using same size nut. -I had zero problems leveling the scope. May have gotten lucky here. I simply tighten the center screw just enough to have to apply more than casual pressure to rotate as needed. I tighten a little more, check level...repeat as needed. I then tightened the other two screws. I use a level and a plumb bob to do my leveling. -- Has held zero after 200 rounds and after remounting the scope to test return-to-zero. Do not waste your money on a name brand fan-boy product. The durability and quality is apparent in this mount.

This mount weighs almost nothing, is very sturdy, and easy to mount. It's not a quick swap to other rifles, but its not difficult at all. Looks great and works great. For anyone going with a scope that does not have longer than typical eye relief, this probably isn't the mount for you. I wanted to mount as far forward on the upper receiver as I could, but the SPR brings the scope too far forward for my 1-4x LPVO. I had to bring the mount back half-way down the upper receiver to make the eye relief usable.
