The Aero Precision Ultralight Cantilever 1-piece scope mount is a purpose-built Picatinny-style mount designed for AR-type rifles where weight and rigidity matter equally. Unlike heavier cantilever designs, this mount strips unnecessary material without compromising strength, making it ideal for hunters and long-range shooters who value fast target acquisition and minimal shift under recoil. The integrated rings eliminate the need for separate ring components, simplifying your build and reducing potential points of failure.

Built from 6061 T6 extruded aluminum, the Ultralight cantilever mount features a cross-slot keyway that mates securely with Mil-Spec 1913 Picatinny rails, providing consistent hold and excellent recoil protection through multiple range sessions and seasons. The rear ring is positioned 1 inch forward—a geometry choice that delivers better eye relief for most hunting and tactical optics, letting you mount your scope comfortably without eyebrow contact during recoil.

At just 3.07 ounces, this cantilever mount belongs in the conversation about lightweight precision optics platforms. Whether you're building a modern sporting rifle, a long-range hunting setup, or an AR-based tactical build, the Aero Precision Ultralight delivers the stability serious shooters expect without the weight penalty of conventional mounts.
