When precision matters and every shot counts, the Vortex CM-534 Precision Extended Cantilever Mount is the kind of gear that elevates your setup from good to elite-level performance. Whether you’re building a competitive AR platform or tuning your hunting rifle for long-range dominance, this 34mm mount delivers rock-solid reliability and battle-tested performance in every scenario.
Crafted from single-piece 6061-T6 aluminum, this mount is both incredibly lightweight and structurally rigid—built to endure harsh recoil, rugged field conditions, and constant range work without shifting zero. The 1.57-inch center height aligns your optic perfectly for AR-style rifles, ensuring a natural cheek weld, rapid target acquisition, and an ergonomic shooting position—all while maintaining compatibility with today’s larger 34mm tube scopes.
But what sets the Vortex CM-534 apart isn’t just its material or height—it’s the extended forward cantilever design, which positions your optic several inches farther forward than traditional mounts. This critical feature provides proper eye relief and flexibility in scope positioning, especially vital for LPVOs, high-magnification optics, or shooters using night vision and thermal devices behind their primary optic.
Why It Matters:
Improper eye relief can ruin your shooting experience. Too close, and you risk scope bite. Too far back, and your field of view shrinks. The extended cantilever gives you the space you need to fine-tune your setup for maximum comfort and performance—something traditional rings just can’t deliver.
Built for Battle. Designed for Precision.
Every detail of this mount is engineered with zero-compromise precision. The hard coat Type III anodized finish protects against corrosion, abrasion, and wear—so whether you’re in the field or at the range, your mount stays looking sharp and functioning flawlessly.
The mount uses precision-machined rings that align perfectly, reducing the chance of scope stress or misalignment—key for maintaining accuracy across hundreds or even thousands of rounds. Torque specs are dialed in for maximum clamping force without damage: 18 in-lbs for ring screws, and 45–50 in-lbs for base clamps.
