    Geissele Vortex 1-6 Mount

    I guarantee if you ask Geissele they will answer your question.

    ETA - nevermind, saw you already bought one. I think Scalarworks was dropping a hint though...

    ...this is just a hypothesis.
    The offset falls between an extended and standard mount, tube diameter is 30mm.

    Doesn't look to be any length in offset between the Vortex specific and standard AR15 30mm offering...I'm looking at them both in front of me right now as bare mounts

    Ring spacing is nearly the same. Offset standard is .63", extended is 1.16", SOPMOD is .77". Not a huge difference between standard and SOPMOD at .14".

    They have a 30mm mount coming, they’ve acknowledged it in some threads here. The goal was to try and get them out around Christmas time but that seemed like it may be stretch so my assumption is SHOT, based on the post here. Should be pretty dope though. I check their website every other day to see if it’s on there yet.

    Damn, that is now the top of my list for a 30mm mount. I’ll be watching too, well now that I’m “woke”.

    *yes that was a corny pop culture reference and a play on your screen name...my gift to you on Christmas.
