Cantilever mounts?

[Bluto]

I’m running a scalarworks cantilever mount on my 308 for quite a while now and am very pleased with it.

Are most folks running cantilever mounts on their gasser or bolt?

As mentioned is depends on the gun and the optic, but a general rule of thumb I have cantilevered mounts on my ARs and straight mounts/rings on bolt guns.

Yes for a "real" scope and I think cantilever is not as rigid as a straight-up mount, due to that cantilever arm hanging out the front without direct support.
I'm trying to know other members opinion too.

Not all mounts are created equal. Geissele, Reptilia, Spuhr, Badger Ordnance, etc mounts are plenty rigid.

I’m running a scalarworks cantilever mount on my 308 for quite a while now and am very pleased with it.

I decided to ditch my Scalarworks after reports of their ring breakage issues. I loved the light weight but I lost confidence in it so I went back to my G mount.

KAC mounts are pricey, but very solid. Spuhr mounts are masterfully machined, and also very pricey. Haven’t handled any Geissele or Badger mounts, but people around the internet seem to like them both.

That's an interesting point. I can't think of one time ever that a quick release was needed by anyone I know. (I'm sure someone can site an example, but) I never pay for quick releases, since I've never needed one.

As far as mounts, I use cantilever. I've always preferred the Laure.
an MOA or two.
