The Primary Arms SLx Cantilever Mount – PA-SLX-CM-30-1.5 is a high-strength, precision-machined mount built to secure 30mm rifle scopes with maximum reliability. Designed for AR-15 and AR-10 platforms, the 1.5″ centerline height provides ideal alignment with standard cheek welds, ensuring fast target acquisition and comfortable shooting posture.
Constructed from 6061-T6 aluminum and finished with Type III hardcoat anodizing, this mount is built to endure harsh field conditions. The cantilever design pushes the optic forward, allowing for better eye relief and optimal scope placement, particularly with variable-power optics and compact platforms.
This mount is engineered to handle repeated recoil, maintaining zero under hard use, and installs easily using dual cross-bolts that fit standard Picatinny rails. Weighing in at just 6.8 oz, it’s a balance of durability and lightweight performance, ideal for duty rifles, competition setups, or any precision build.
