Aero Precision Ultralight 1" Forward One Piece Scope Mount 2.45" Between Rings

The Aero Precision Ultralight 1" Forward one-piece scope mount is built for AR shooters who refuse to compromise between strength and weight. This rigid aluminum mount delivers solid recoil handling on Mil-Spec 1913 Picatinny rails while keeping your upper receiver lean—a genuine advantage when every ounce matters on a precision rifle or a rifle you're carrying all day. The forward-positioned ring design pushes your scope 1 inch ahead of the standard mounting point, giving you better eye relief and more forgiving shooting form behind magnified optics.

Machined from 6061 T6 aluminum, the Ultralight is engineered as a one-piece platform rather than a separate base and rings. This monolithic approach eliminates flex between components and delivers the kind of consistent, repeatable zero you expect from a premium mount. The cross-slot keyway in the Picatinny interface locks your rings down against recoil with no guesswork, and the 2.45-inch ring spacing works with virtually any 1-inch tube scope on the market today. At just over 3 ounces, it's among the lightest aluminum mounts you can bolt on without sacrificing rigidity or build quality.

Whether you're building a lightweight hunting rifle, a practical 3-gun setup, or a range gun where minimal mass improves handling, the Aero Precision Ultralight delivers the kind of honest engineering that makes a real difference in the field or on the line.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this mount work with my AR-15 upper receiver?

Yes. The Ultralight is designed for AR-type upper receivers fitted with a standard Mil-Spec 1913 Picatinny rail.

What scope tube diameter does this mount accept?

This mount is built for 1-inch tube scopes, which covers the vast majority of hunting and tactical optics available today.

How does the forward ring position affect my shooting?

The 1-inch forward position moves your scope farther from your face, giving you more comfortable eye relief and a more natural sight picture, especially with higher-magnification optics. It also reduces the chance of scope bite under recoil.

Is this a heavy mount?

No. At 3.07 ounces, the Ultralight is among the lightest aluminum scope mounts on the market without sacrificing rigidity or durability. The one-piece design eliminates extra mass that separate base-and-ring systems carry.
