Lowest Cantilever Mount

[BarefootShooter]

Hi all. Does anyone have a source for the lowest possible cantilever mount, strong enough for .50bmg and available in 30mm? I'm planning on mounting a 10x to a Serbu BFG 50 using the cantilever mount backwards, the scope rail is already extremely high and the eye relief insufficient. I'm not yet willing to look for another scope (SWFA 10X, rated for .50BMG) and this is the last step before I'd have to do that. Both Serbu and SWFA have no further suggestions.

I have been on a similar quest for a low cantilever.
I'm still in the middle of my search.....

Here are a few I have on my list for comparison:


Vortex = $200
Rail top to middle of scopetube = [corrected:] 1.574" (40mm)

Amazon product ASIN B01AN6KY2O



Athlon = $120
Rail top to middle of scopetube = 1.41" (36mm)

• 0 MOA:

Amazon product ASIN B08TCF5SF7

• 20 MOA:

Amazon product ASIN B08FRQH46M



Aero Precision = $84
Rail top to middle of scopetube = 1.5" (38mm)
Amazon product ASIN B00JVTD4EK
or:

Primary Arms = $60

Please, keep my updated on what you find!

It appears 1.5 inches is standard for most. FYI, the amazon page and Vortex website both state height of their precision extended cantilever rings to be 1.574 inches, not 1.324.

Check out the UTG line, they are way lower than most people find usable. They are great for kids though.

They are 1.3 to centerline and available in a wide variety of offsets

Corrected! Thank you. I had misinterpreted the graphic and thought the height stated bas to the bottom of the rail "grabbers".

If you dont find an extended cantiliver mount you find suitable, Whatabout using an A.R.M.S swan sleeve?
It adds 1/2" to rail height, and then use the lowest rings you can find (.89" in a Nightforce or seekins, if I recall)

Would not be the most elegant solution, but might be pretty solid.

I seem to recall ADM making a special low mount as well.

Edit: Geissele has one at 1.35"

ADM made a low one but it's not cantilevered.

Spuhr has one at 1.26".
