    It would be used for a Vortex 4.5-27 34mm tube on a 6CM upper. The rings look thin, but I'm trying to save as much weight as possible for a comp gun.

    Anyone running this mount? Thanks.
     
    It’s fine on a gas gun with a LPVO. But I think it’s a terrible choice for a LR platform. I mean you got the heaviest possible scope already... what’s an extra 3-4 oz on a proper mount ?
     
    I’m running a 30mm version with a 1-6. No issues and it’s light but I don’t think I would want to use one on a comp gun. Seems like it wouldn’t take a beating very well.
    Not only that. The vertical split rings make it very difficult to properly plum the reticle with properly torquing. I mean a set of good 30mm mount is only 6-8oz and I think the aero is 3.5 - hardly a good choice for weight reduction of all places. Get a MK5 if you want to put your rifle on a diet.
