Vortex Sport 30mm cantilever mount with 2 inch offset is the best mount at its price range. Aluminum body is rigid. Cross screws torque to spec without stripping. Mounts solidly to picatinny without shifting. Solid LPVO mount.
Vortex Sport 30mm cantilever mount with 2 inch offset holds my scope dead steady. Aluminum body shows no flex when torqued. Mount holds zero through multiple firing sessions. Cant beat the value at this price point.
