Agreed, I have their offset red dot mount and it's well made, and super low profile, enough to fit easily under the front of my scope with out any fiddling about. It mounts rock solid and held it's position over 500 rounds with no shift in position.
I stopped using Aero Ultralights after I got two in a row with out of spec clamshells. They would rotate the scope body as you tightened the screws, and the tighter they got the harder it would be to counter the rotation without slipping completely out of place and simultaneously staying level. Took twenty minutes of fussing and adjusting and readjusting just to get one set correctly. Every time I thought I was finally level I would put the final torque on the screws and find the scope had shifted two or three degrees. I gave up once I realized the second one was the same way. Never looked back.
I am really glad to hear your positive oponion on this mount. I bought it recently because I didn't want to spend hundreds of dollars on a mount. I just couldn't believe it has to be such expensive to work fine.
Great mount I used for years with an AR15 and it handled most of the abuse with no issue. I've since upgraded that setup with a Weaver. Thanks for a great review for the everyday Man. "Stay Strong, Chase Excellence Brothers."
I've been wanting you to do a video like this for a while. You do scope test, I want to see how you mount scopes and what equipment you're using to make sure that you're adjustments are consistent. This is a good start.
These are really great. Lighter than a Warne X-Skel, stronger than an Aero ultralight(those break if you look at them angrily, I've broken 2 with no rough handling.) cheaper than anything else worth your money. And unlike the Aero it can handle abuse. The QD one is about $70 and is every bit as good the non-QD. I have a few of these and a pair of qd and I love all of them, though the QD are the only ones that are in use.
I have a couple of these offset mounts, as well as a couple of sets of their US made scope rings. Zero issues. Even have much older imported UTG rings on my 10/22 for over 10 years. Made Rifleman with them in 2011, and shot it a few months ago. Still zeroed. Even like the Accu-Sync sights, and have a set on one AR, and recommend them to all my beginner friends for their new builds. Never had a complaint.
The two smaller blocks are actual securing the drilled blocks as the contact points on the rail or contiguous. and solid.. I am going to get one.. I like the Spuhr mounts...But this will be a nice comparison to see.. I like that this has all the screws being flush.. Thanks for sharing..
Been watching the channel sporadically for the past year and it has become a valued info source. Sub'd today. I couldn’t find a vid on your scope leveling / mounting method you touched on here; that'd be cool coming from you.
I just bought this I've bought their stocks , grips , handguards , scope rings.... I have yet to be disappointed. The ar10 super slim free float.. I wouldn't trade it for a Seekins or MI. As for made in China I think their made in Michigan and have been since 2012.
I got an improperly machined one. Hit it with a file to remove the massive machining booger but it was almost bottoming out in elevation still. Gave it to a friend in need and let him know. Spend a little more and get a Warne.
Bought a New-Old-Stock Gen 1 UTG Recon 360 Bipod, only design flaw is that it needed longer/tighter Allen M2 tension screws on the ball joint. Now it holds better on adjustment. Has full cant and tilt for a bipod, $60 for $200-300 functionality.
Oh hey, I currently have one of these holding my RT-6 onto my AR. My only concern with it is the steel base screws into the aluminium threads, but the torque specs are well within what should be fine, and I haven't stripped any or had them come loose in the couple of times I've removed and re-attached the mount.
The majority of mounts are steel into aluminum. Its only when you get into more expensive mounts that are either made of 7075, or have stainless threadserts in that you dont have to worry at all about it.
I more or less accidentally bought this one. I went to pick up my 3000€ AR, already bringing my 800€ ish Hawke Frontier thinking I could also pick a mount. Well, got a heart attack when I saw the prices. So I cringed really hard and bought the 80€ mount 😂 Honestly, I did a good job so far. I’ll still replace it when I’ll move the scope to a .308 DMR.
I have lots of high end scope mounts and several of these UTG mounts...the UTG's are every bit as good at less then half the cost. Monstrum also has some really good mounts available for a reasonable cost; especially their 7075 Pro Series and Razorclaw series. With today's CNC machining tech, there is no need to spend $300-500 for a great scope mount.
I have a UTG I used for my vortex Strike Eagle. Budget optic with a budget mount. Zero issues. Don’t need to spend all kinds of money for a good optic/mount set up.
@@jguerrero0311 I like it. Once I figured out how to get it tight. Don’t necessarily like that design as far as the way it fastens on but once I got it on and tight I haven’t touched it since.
@CDOES I second that request. My concern is the lack of full tang for the picitany rail. Then, the fact that it does not have steel insert in the threaded area.
I'm glad you did a video on this. I've used these mounts and would recommend them but everyone would laugh at me because it's UTG. UTG does have some sleepers. Their receiver extensions, offset rds mounts and these scope mounts have all worked great for me. I still run some of their products and this is coming from a guy who's into ADM, Badger, Scalarworks and Geissele mounts.
Any chance the QD version review is coming soon? I’m thinking of either this one or the aero LW for the primary arms 1-6 nova 🤔 Thanks for your amazing reviews!
@@jguerrero0311 hey. I actually returned the nova. Was a great scope but decided on the PLxC in peanut butter color as it went with my theme. The mount I’m using is the badger ordinance 30mm 1.7” they don’t perfectly match in color but they look really good together. I had the utg qd mount for a bit but decided i didn’t like the look. I think it’s good for the money tho.
Hi C, I never wondered about this and there's a good chance you mentioned it at some point already, but are you from Boston or somewhere around? For context, I'm a foreigner, have very little knowledge of US accents, but the "cost effective" at 2:10 certainly made me perk up :D
Ive always wondered, do more pic rail lugs really do anything? Unless your rail and the mount are precision machine matched, id doubt youd get more than one lug engaged at a time.
Got one of these when I bought a used Stryker hd 1-6. Pleasantly surprised with it, ended up replacing it with a larue for the rifle I put it on but it will be great on a 10/22
I run these and the non QD "pepr" mounts and they get quite abused and have no complaints. I get a good bit of hate when i run optics like my 1-8 credo in them lol. I've dented my credo on a one of many concrete drops and still held zero. I also quite like the bubble level top cap you can get on them. haven't messed with their offset dot mount as it's not my thing.
I have a bunch of these, one in particular (high profile 30mm with 50mm offset) i had a utg 4-16 scope in it on an ar, that scope is ok, not the best by any means but it tracks decent and holds zero, but anyway i had the rifle slung across my back, and i slipped on ice walking down the driveway. Fell straight onto the front top of the scope. The scope did end up bending but not enough to notice until shooting it, that scope may still be ok but i replaced it and reused the same mount. Mount is completely fine and this is my personal #1 recommendation for an ar scope mount. These things are solid and you can sometimes even find em for about 25 bucks new, the most ive paid for one is 35 and i have like 6 or 7 of em. Never had any issues with zero using these mounts. I want to try out their qd version as well. Also their little 50 dollar rheostat red dot is surprisingly good, it holds zero and doesnt blink like the vortex strikefire 2, the utg pistol red dot however does have that flash, the screws came loose (the factory installed top ones) and it had water spots for like a month after submerging it. It does however still work just fine, the water spots are now gone, and it has held zero since tightening those but i cant recommend that one. Overall their optics and mounts are solid with a few outliers, also i love my utg t1 riser and it looks cool to boot. Also theyre like 20 bucks and are solid. Edit: spelling
I’ve used these a Few Times they’re great. I also Have use the “pro” rings on a few setups. They’re excellent for what they are. Very good quality. But they have odd part numbers to figure out what to get with the offset and all that overalll though excellent
Do you know anything about Precision Reflex Industries' 30mm cantilever mounts? Any recommendations on a budget friendly 30mm mount that has a rmr mount at the 12 o clock position?
I just yesterday put the one inch tube version on my Tavor 7 and shot 200 plus rounds of .308 with no slipping or accuracy issues. This thing is awesome and fairly lightweight!
Trying it for a while, seems pretty solid for a cheap mount. Just wish it came in different height options without having to use a riser so I can clear my tape switches and the thumb on top of it
man, really makes me kind of regret spending 300 bucks on badger ordinance mount. I run the acro topside. However, it's stupid high. I've been desperately looking for a mount to replace it and lower the acro a bit. Do you know of any top plates that could replace one of the top rings
It would be really cool for you to get the monstrum pro mount on the channel. It's 7075 and if I was a betting man the monstrum and utg are manufactured by the same people (at least the chinesium utg stuff).
I have an aero precision mount. It corroded where the screws go at the clamping point to the mount and I basically had to break it off. I usually just stick to the Burris mounts even though they are heavy. Would love to see the follow up to this mount. As always, thank you for your videos. You are a must view before purchasing optics.
Thanks Brother. Another nice review of something I’ve been eyeing lately. I just finished a dedicated .22lr upper and I think this would be a perfect mount for it. I only see one issue but it’s irrelevant for my above use. UTG make a piggyback RMR ring cap for this it’s really tall. Theirs is high enough for an MPVO with a large elevation turret but way too high for most LPVO turrets. But yeah, this looks like a great option for a budget, .22, or beginner gun. UTG gets some hate but I’ve never had a bad experience with the few things I’ve had from them.
I wonder if UTG makes a "Red Dot RDS" piggyback top ring for this. Main reason I'm a fan of these is no knuckle-hazard. Most economical mounts will rip your fingers on special/non-AR platforms.
I have been waiting for over a year to see this review. Looks like there is a lot of bang for the buck. I have two of their smaller risers that use thumb screws and I have been impressed with the manufacturing quality. With that said, they over spec their torque settings. I have the UTG OVER BORE BIPOD and the Torx screws stripped when I attempted to remove the bipod.
I have a bunch of these! The only reason not to use them is if you want to save a couple ounces then go with the Aero Precision lightweight. It's twice the cost and not as strong however!
I have a cheap UTG QD mount that feels loose.... but off and on, and the dang thing holds a decent zero. Never more than an inch up or down, and half the time, perfect zero.... 🤔 It has no right being that good.
Another good budget mount is the Hiram. It was around before PA released their $220 version. It’s $30 with 3 bolts and 2 recoil lugs. I’m wondering if PA’s RMR ring topper will match the mount though.
Thanks, and if you think the optika6 is nice you should look through an R1 or ZD model, I have two R1s one ZD, and 6 optika6 scopes and one optika5, my favorite brand, I do own Steiner and Leupold too. Love the videos!
Oh a 2-12 ffp would be interesting and nice an AR or hunting rifle or one of my 10/22s, I am surprised they didn't reply. They replied to an email from me in a matter of hours, but that was for Scope turret covers I left in the woods they did send new ones at no cost though.
@@FederalPacificEh there are certain brands that have a bad stigma in the gun community and no matter how good their new offerings are, they will never break into the enthusiast circle. UTG is one of those brands.
@@FederalPacificEhfor about 10 years UTG was potmetal chinese crap until they started their made in usa “pro” line. It’s going to take a long time to shake that bad rep.
I own several UTG picatinny risers for red dot optics. Top top quality. The next step up in performance would be Scalarworks. But at 5x times the price!
The known failure points of the Aero mount are why I decided against it at the last second in favor of a Leupold Mark AR mount instead (plus the Leupold was cheaper.) This UTG mount does look like another decent alternative to consider in the future.
Expensive mounts for ARs is super stupid That one is spot on. I have expensive mounts. Really is a bunch of bs. Guy good stuff for bolt action. Daum upper is aluminum anyways. Not going to be but so strong to start with. 😂😂😂😂
I bought a UTG QD endplate and it has a weird slant on it that makes me not want to stake it, so I just ugga dugga'd it a bit, but thought that was weird This thing will save me almost 2oz over my cantilever sport mount though, so ill probably check it out. I'm just using it at a range
I love that utg/leapers stuff is cheap, fits together well, at least mine does, their lower third t2. I use it with a holosun 503r gold, and I also like supporting American manufacturing.
I guess I can come out of the closet now. I have 3 of these: two 30mm and one 34mm. Bought the first one out of curiosity and couldn’t find anything wrong with it, so..
Took you long enough to review these. Between their "medium" and "low" and a half inch riser, you can experiment with multiple scope heights for less than 200 dollars, like 1.79 height. Meanwhile people were paying up to 300 dollars for a single 1.70 badger mount. Wish they still sold their fde versions.
UTG leapers has a couple products that truly punch way above their price point. I've used one of these mounts for years. Zero problems.
I love their dovetail rings that are on my CZ457. This is no exception.

They have some free float handguards that perform way above their price point too.
I think the wedge type scope mounting system is the way to go. It even keeps the Aero Precision mounts from twisting while torquing them down.
Not with the SPR style mount, it sucks so bad to center because there's no flat part to center the scope

I only see one issue but it’s irrelevant for my above use. UTG make a piggyback RMR ring cap for this it’s really tall. Theirs is high enough for an MPVO with a large elevation turret but way too high for most LPVO turrets.
But yeah, this looks like a great option for a budget, .22, or beginner gun. UTG gets some hate but I’ve never had a bad experience with the few things I’ve had from them.
This would be choice for you.
love your channel. best reviews
I just love your videos. Keep it up!
The machining does look good. I have their super slim keymod handguard. Machining is excellent on that
I was looking at getting one of those. Its exactly what I want for a AR.
@@CDOES I got mine from optics planet like 8 years ago. It's still one of the better handguards I have. Love keymod.
Don't overlook their fixed iron sights. They are very nice for any money.

I wonder if UTG makes a "Red Dot RDS" piggyback top ring for this. Main reason I'm a fan of these is no knuckle-hazard. Most economical mounts will rip your fingers on special/non-AR platforms.
Here you go. a.co/d/2B9MrbN
Just run a diving board of you want a rds mount
Actually it does make such top rings
@@emkro UTG ACCU-SYNC Leveler II with MRDS Mount - RMR + Docter footprint. You're right!
Wuhan to the wescue! Lol
Cowboy Bebop shirt. Noice.
I have been waiting for over a year to see this review. Looks like there is a lot of bang for the buck. I have two of their smaller risers that use thumb screws and I have been impressed with the manufacturing quality. With that said, they over spec their torque settings. I have the UTG OVER BORE BIPOD and the Torx screws stripped when I attempted to remove the bipod.
I definitely see that, which is why I made the comment I did. Youd probably be fine with 20in/# on the main mounting area as well.
I have a bunch of these! The only reason not to use them is if you want to save a couple ounces then go with the Aero Precision lightweight. It's twice the cost and not as strong however!
I've broken 2 AP mounts, so at least being out 40 bucks is better?
Id absolutely go with this over the AP, even if Im counting oz's. Id much rather have the added strength
Damn, the secret is out. It's not perfect but it is really good for the price
It was due to happen. Not theyll all be $80+ haha
I have a cheap UTG QD mount that feels loose.... but off and on, and the dang thing holds a decent zero. Never more than an inch up or down, and half the time, perfect zero.... 🤔 It has no right being that good.
Another good budget mount is the Hiram. It was around before PA released their $220 version. It’s $30 with 3 bolts and 2 recoil lugs. I’m wondering if PA’s RMR ring topper will match the mount though.
I own three of these, and I have been happy with them for the price, and they all have Meopta scopes in them. 😊
Great to hear that.
Thanks, and if you think the optika6 is nice you should look through an R1 or ZD model, I have two R1s one ZD, and 6 optika6 scopes and one optika5, my favorite brand, I do own Steiner and Leupold too. Love the videos!
@@FS-ig2tt I want more Meopta's. I also want them to respond to my emails about a ffp 2-12 lol
Oh a 2-12 ffp would be interesting and nice an AR or hunting rifle or one of my 10/22s, I am surprised they didn't reply. They replied to an email from me in a matter of hours, but that was for Scope turret covers I left in the woods they did send new ones at no cost though.
I’ve got one of these on an ar and a set of their rings on a prs rifle and both are pretty nice
Have a couple of these and a couple of offset rds mounts. The handguards aren't bad either.
I roll with Hiram 30mm mount Cost 26 bucks on amazon
Bummer that they don't sell 34mm with 20 moa
They do actually ….i ordered the 34mm 40 moa mount off Amazon , no other website had them in stock . Supposedly they have 20 & 30 moa mounts as well .
I wouldn’t mind trying one but UTG has a terrible stigma in the community.
Can you explain please or you gunna make me google it
@@FederalPacificEh there are certain brands that have a bad stigma in the gun community and no matter how good their new offerings are, they will never break into the enthusiast circle. UTG is one of those brands.
@@FederalPacificEhfor about 10 years UTG was potmetal chinese crap until they started their made in usa “pro” line. It’s going to take a long time to shake that bad rep.

I own several UTG picatinny risers for red dot optics. Top top quality. The next step up in performance would be Scalarworks. But at 5x times the price!
If your looking to keep the weight similar, and the overall profile, yeah.
Lmfao there are things way better then UTG without spending scalarworks money. ADM makes good quality stuff while being relatively budget
The known failure points of the Aero mount are why I decided against it at the last second in favor of a Leupold Mark AR mount instead (plus the Leupold was cheaper.) This UTG mount does look like another decent alternative to consider in the future.
Don't put this on any serious rifle lol.
Monstrum tactical got some good mount too
Expensive mounts for ARs is super stupid That one is spot on. I have expensive mounts. Really is a bunch of bs. Guy good stuff for bolt action. Daum upper is aluminum anyways. Not going to be but so strong to start with. 😂😂😂😂
I bought a UTG QD endplate and it has a weird slant on it that makes me not want to stake it, so I just ugga dugga'd it a bit, but thought that was weird
This thing will save me almost 2oz over my cantilever sport mount though, so ill probably check it out. I'm just using it at a range
Got it for $30 bucks
I love that utg/leapers stuff is cheap, fits together well, at least mine does, their lower third t2. I use it with a holosun 503r gold, and I also like supporting American manufacturing.
Its a real bargain imo
I guess I can come out of the closet now. I have 3 of these: two 30mm and one 34mm. Bought the first one out of curiosity and couldn’t find anything wrong with it, so..
Sooo full send it.
Took you long enough to review these. Between their "medium" and "low" and a half inch riser, you can experiment with multiple scope heights for less than 200 dollars, like 1.79 height. Meanwhile people were paying up to 300 dollars for a single 1.70 badger mount.
Wish they still sold their fde versions.
