Athlon Optics 1'' 0 Moa 1.5'' Cantilever Scope Mount

The Athlon Optics 1" 0 MOA 1.5" Cantilever Scope Mount is a straightforward, reliable option for hunters and shooters who want a no-nonsense way to get their optics mounted and zeroed. Cantilever mounts are favored for rifles where the scope needs to sit forward of the receiver to clear bolt throws or provide better eye relief, and this one delivers that offset with a clean, low-profile design that won't snag on brush or gear during the hike in or out.

Built around a 1-inch scope tube diameter (the most common standard for hunting rifles and tactical setups), this mount comes pre-drilled at 0 MOA—meaning it's optimized for rifles with receivers already angled toward downrange shooting. The 1.5-inch cantilever offset gives you that forward placement without unnecessary bulk, and the understated profile keeps the overall footprint compact and shadow-free in your sight picture.

Whether you're outfitting a hunting rifle, a range gun, or a general-purpose shooter, a quality cantilever mount that's easy to install and won't break the bank makes a real difference. Athlon's reputation for building honest gear at fair prices shows up here—you get solid engineering without the marketing markup.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this cantilever mount fit my rifle?

This mount is designed for 1-inch scope tubes and comes pre-drilled at 0 MOA. Verify that your rifle's receiver has a drilled and tapped pattern compatible with standard scope mount bases, and confirm that your scope has a 1-inch diameter tube before ordering.

What does 0 MOA mean on a scope mount?

A 0 MOA mount sits flat and parallel to a rifle receiver that is already angled downward (common on modern hunting and tactical rifles). If your receiver is flat or has a different inclination, you may need a different MOA configuration to achieve proper eye relief and sight picture alignment.

Why choose a cantilever mount over a standard two-piece mount?

Cantilever mounts sit forward on the rifle, clearing the bolt throw and receiver ring. This design gives you more eye relief, better clearance for larger objective lenses, and is often preferred on hunting rifles where access to the action matters and forward scope placement doesn't interfere with the rifle's operation.

Is installation included, or do I need a gunsmith?

Mount installation typically requires drilling and tapping your rifle's receiver. If your receiver isn't already drilled, a qualified gunsmith is strongly recommended to ensure proper alignment and safety.
