vortex cantilever mount

Mine was then apparently made in China by American Defence Mfg.

Apparently, a different mount than the one being discussed.

I haven't but I like the look of that mount.

I have and really like them. The mark 2 30mm mount won't give me the eye relief I need. The rear ring is pretty much vertical. The mark 4 looks like it is extended(not sure how much), but then you are $180 into a non qd mount.

So, I had the same issue with the Leupold. Not enough eye relief. Which led me to purchasing the Vortex, the 3" extended version. Out of the box impressions:
Nicely machined.
Nicely finished.
Seemed to weigh the same as the IMS.
Looked like it would be a rock solid mount, with the right eye relief.
Sent back due to it being made in China, not the biggest deal, for a budget mount, but I knew it would always bother me, in the back of my mind.

Description on Midway said Made in USA.

I don't see where bridging the gap with non QD rings or mount is a big deal as long as the two are reasonably well aligned. What scope are you using? GH
