Aim Sports MTCLF317 High 30mm Rings Cantilever Scope Mount, 6061-T6 Aluminum, Black Anodized Finish

The Aim Sports MTCLF317 is a 30mm cantilever scope mount built for shooters who need a rugged, no-fuss platform to get optics mounted and running. This high-profile ring combo combines a one-piece cantilever base with integrated 30mm rings, designed to position your scope higher on the rifle for reliable cheek weld and clearance over larger objective lenses or suppressor-height iron sights. It's the kind of workhorse mount that handles hunting, tactical shooting, and field use without pretension.

Machined from 6061-T6 aluminum and finished in black anodite, the MTCLF317 delivers solid material engineering at a practical price point. Cantilever design means the scope base extends forward of the rear receiver ring, giving you more rail-to-scope geometry and better forward sight picture—useful on AR platforms and modern sporting rifles where you're working with Picatinny rails. The high-profile rings cradle 30mm tubes securely, whether you're running a precision hunting glass or a compact magnified optic.

This isn't a match-grade competition piece; it's honest aluminum that won't break the bank and won't let you down in the field. If you're building or upgrading a rifle for hunting, three-gun, or general range work and you need dependable aluminum rings without the markup, the Aim Sports cantilever mount earns its place on the gun.

Frequently Asked Questions

What rifles will this 30mm cantilever mount fit?

The MTCLF317 mounts to any rifle with a Picatinny rail, including AR-15s, AR-10s, and modern tactical rifles. It's not designed for Remington 700 action or other traditional receiver-based systems that use Weaver or proprietary bases.

Will this mount work with my hunting scope?

Yes, as long as your scope has a 30mm tube. The high-profile rings and cantilever design work well for hunting optics, especially larger objective lenses. Make sure your barrel and turrets have clearance; high rings sit you well above the rail.

Can I use this with backup iron sights or red dots?

The high-profile design creates space for co-witnessed or backup irons behind the scope. Red dots or other optics mounted forward on the rail can coexist with this mount, depending on your rail length and rifle setup.

What's the difference between this cantilever mount and a standard base and ring set?

Cantilever mounts like the MTCLF317 are one piece: the base and rings are integral, which means fewer parts and simpler installation. The cantilever extension also pushes the scope forward on the rail, useful for longer-range sight pictures and accommodating larger objectives.
