Aero Precision
Lightweight extended one-piece mount at a value price. Good return to zero for the price point.
The Aero Precision Ultralight 30mm Mount proves you don't need to spend premium dollars to get a solid scope mount. At just 2.98 ounces, it's one of the lightest mounts in the industry—approximately half the weight of many competitors—while still providing reliable zero retention and durability. Aero upgraded from their previous design to use 6061-T6 extruded aluminum, making it both stronger and lighter than its predecessors.
The mount's extended cantilever design positions the scope properly for eye relief on modern LPVOs, with the rear ring pushed forward to accommodate shorter eye relief scopes. Aero offers three variants: Standard, Extended (rear ring 1" forward), and SPR (rear ring 2" forward), ensuring compatibility with virtually any optic configuration. The black anodized finish provides enhanced wear and corrosion resistance for long-term durability.
What sets the Ultralight apart in its price class is the attention to engineering detail. The mount fits Mil-Spec 1913 Picatinny rails and features a cross-slot keyway that offers excellent recoil protection. While it may not have the premium features or bombproof construction of top-tier mounts, it delivers solid performance for recreational shooters and budget-conscious builders who want reliable mounting without breaking the bank.
