Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Joedirt199: American Defense or Midwest Industries mount with one of the PA spacers provided with the optic. I do the same thing with my PA GLX 2x and SLX 1x. Just a small PSA. I had a friend that had his 3x mounted on a American defense cantilever mount, his sling decided that it didn't want to hold the rifle anymore. When it let loose it hit the ground horizontally from about waist height, and from that point forward there was an issue. He contacted American defense, told them what happened, sent pictures, everything. AD told him to pound sand. If that's the case what's the point if they won't honor a warranty for something mild like that. We couldn't figure out why it was shooting so low all of a sudden.  Attached FileNotice the droop? From that point forward I moved all of my prisms to non cantilevered mounts. |

I’m running both mine on Larue QD with the stock cantilever arm maybe I’ll switch to the straight spacers |

I would trust the straight mount but not the cantilever mount if bending is a concern. Midewest Ind and American Defense both make one.
