Aero Precision Ultralight 1" Standard Scope Mount, Anodized Black, Model Number: APRA210100

First off its an Aero Precision part; nuff said. Now before you flame my review, I am by no means a AP fan boy, I'm more of an ADM or Reptilia or Unity guy. But, the value for money with this scope mount; its unmatched. Holds Zero, weighs like 4 OZs, and looks good. MAKE SURE YOU TORQUE TO SPECS. Don't over torque; but thats really with any mount. Need a cheap and good mount; this is it.

Simple design. Easy to install. Looks good. Rugged. It's a great AR scope mount for a very reasonable price.

Excellent lightweight scope mount fro Aero Precision. Made in America (always a bonus) at a price barely higher than made in china/taiwan/indonesia/etc. mounts I have seen here on Amazon. Easy to install with included torx wrench, which in and of itself is the best included torx wrench that I have seen come packaged with any accessory. The wrench stays a part of my range/field repair/cleaning kit. I use it to mount my Nikon 3-9 x 40 BDC on my AR10. No loss of zero so far with a few hundred rounds of .308. I will definitely be purchasing from Aero again.

Great scope mount, light weight, very strong, my third scope mount from Aero precision, seller had the best price . Prime delivery had it to in 3 days

Needed a scope mount and had used Aero Precision parts before. Quality is great and their parts work.

I was surprised when my scope was 10 degrees or so askew and no longer level with the upper receiver after only 60 rounds through a 6.8 SPC AR platform rifle. I had used a torque wrench (a FAT Wrench) to torque it to Aero's recommended in-lbs, yet the screws holding the rings together (but not the screws holding the mount base to the rifle's rail) had come loose. Have added 3 in-lbs and seems to have fixed it. Next time will need blue loctite or similar threadlocker. All that said, it weighs very little and is out of the way, so perfect for hunting or Recce set-up.

This is the lightest one-piece scope mount that I have found. It is high-quality and a good design, like all of the other Aero Precision products I have tried. The Burris PEPR mount is also a great option but it weighs another 4 oz, which doesn't sound like a lot, but ounces add up to pounds, and pounds make a heavy rifle to tote around. There is a learning curve to getting the crosshairs aligned vertically. It usually takes me 3 or so iterations before I can call it good. Using a level on the receiver and another on the scope cap, I offset the scope around 10 degrees or one bubble away from the ring screws. The scope rotates that 10 degrees or so as the scope ring screws are tightened and torqued. There are no instructions whatsoever with the mount, which is a shame. That's the reason for only 4 stars in my review. If you go by the standard torque of 30 in-lbs. for this size screw you will over torque and possibly damage/yield the removable ring pieces. Ask me how I know. I have good luck with 18 in-lbs. and using removable lock-tite. This works on all of my AR's, including 308, 6.5 Creedmoor, and of course 5.56.There are lots of options for AR one-piece scope mounts. I have tried the Burris PEPR and this Aero Precision mount. I much prefer this mount for the weight savings. If you are going to be heavy handling or rough with your gun or just want something beefier I would go with the Burris PEPR. If you are doing the typical target shooting or hunting, I would get the AP mount. For those that have the extra 4-5X the cost of either of these options to spend on a Larue Tactical or a Geissele mount, I am happy for you. I am sure they are great products on par with everything else those companies make. I don't think you get enough "improvement" over the Burris or AP to justify the difference in cost, but that's just me.

Easy to mount if you take your time, use levels, and tighten the screws slowly in a cross pattern. Aero mounts are great, but the scopes tend to roll in them during mounting if you are not careful.
