    Low cantilever mount for bolt action

    The LaRue mounts do not fit. They need about 4.1-4.2” of tube to mount. I only have about 3.9”. I sent a question to ADM. Thanks!

    Low cantilever mount for bolt action

    Low cantilever mount for bolt action

    Low cantilever mount for bolt action

    Hi guys, I put together a small bolt rifle for NRL22 and I have a problem I hope you can help me with. The optic is a USO 3-12x and the rifle is a Savage Mark II. The issue is that the optic sits 2” further out than I need. The cantilever options I’ve seen are meant for AR’s and they elevate...
