🔍 Frequently Asked Question
Is the Aero Precision mount good for LPVOs like the Vortex Strike Eagle or Primary Arms 1-6x?
Yes. The cantilever design provides the forward offset needed for proper eye relief with LPVOs on AR-15s.
Can this mount handle .308 or .243 recoil on an AR-10?
Absolutely. The mount is strong enough for most semi-auto .308 setups as long as it’s torqued to spec and paired with a quality rail.
Does it come with hardware?
Yes. The mount includes all necessary mounting screws. Use a torque wrench for proper installation.
What ring size should I choose?
Choose 30mm if your scope has 30mm main tube diameter (most LPVOs). Choose 1 inch for classic hunting or budget optics with smaller tubes.
Is this mount quick-detach?
No. It’s a fixed mount designed for rigidity. If you need QD functionality, consider an Aero mount with QD levers or another QD-compatible brand.
