Overview

The Vortex Sport Cantilever 30mm Mount is the value baseline for getting a 30mm LPVO onto a flattop AR-15. It is a one-piece cantilever ring mount that positions the optic at the correct height and forward placement for AR eye relief, available in a 2 inch or 3 inch forward offset depending on how far the scope needs to sit.

It will not match the return-to-zero precision or hard-use durability of a Geissele Super Precision or Badger Condition One, but for a range rifle or first LPVO build it holds a usable zero at a fraction of the price. The integrated 30mm rings remove the guesswork of matching separate rings to a base, and the cantilever geometry keeps the optic positioned for a comfortable cheek weld.

Built from aluminum with a hard anodized finish, the Sport Cantilever pairs naturally with Vortex's own Strike Eagle and Crossfire LPVOs but works with any 30mm tube. For budget builders who want the optic mounted correctly without spending more on the mount than the scope, it is the sensible entry point.
