ultralight 30mm mount

they look like they make the scope sit super high compared to an ADM or Larue...or is it just me?

I spoke of this earlier. It's 1.5" from the top of the rail to the center line.

I'm a little skeptical about the strength.

What is the finish like on these? Is it a rough anodizing (like on most AR receivers) or smooth like on a Burris PEPR?

Hard to say what 5oz missing aluminum will mean in the long run. Like I said AERO seems to make well thought out products. If I break mine you guys will be the first to know. The finish is more like that of an AR receiver. It's flat.

Aero definitely put some thought into them. And I bet they spent a lot of time FEA'ing them. The design, machining, and finish is great.

I agree.

looking forward to a range report hopefully before the sale and free shipping ends

Interested in how the hooks on top of the ring hold up!

[Joe Mamma]

This mount doesn't really shift the scope forward. The rear ring basically goes straight up (from the rear edge of the base), not forward. I think that would be a deal breaker for me, for what I use.

Most of the competitors' products that I have seen have rear rings that shift the scope forward.

Yup. I may have jumped the gun on purchasing one of these. No range time yet, but I mounted it yesterday. I, definitely, wish it had more forward thrust; with the mount as far forward on the receiver as possible, I still have to move my stock out one click to get proper eye relief. I know this has more to do with my scope than the mount, I just wish Ultralight was more like the SPR mounts by LaRue.

Oh, and, of course, I forgot to weigh it before I got everything mounted, but it's very light compared to the LT-104 I held it next to.

Any updated pictures from owners of this mount. I'd like to see the mount/optic mounted on the rifle itself.

This forum is the only one that is really talking about this mount. At least it's the only forum I belong to that has a long discussion about the mount.
