[ARCHIVED THREAD] - SPR mount - vortex or Aero?

Posted: 11/25/2014 12:41:47 PM EDT

Looking for a +/- $100 SPR mount for a 1-4x optic. Not going to be able to swing a larue at this point.
Does anyone have a experience with a Vortex or Aero scope mount?
Other similarly priced options?

Don't forget about the Primary Arms mount for $60 or the SSALT on sale black friday for $30.

I use all Aero lightweights now because they are so damn light at only 3oz. If you don't need QD, that's the way to go IMO.

The vortex is a rebranded adm mount. Id go that route.

I think he's talking about this style of Vortex mount.

I don't think it is rebranded ADM, and I'm not sure who makes it.

I have to say, it's a sleek looking mount.

I recently bought a Weaver SPR 30mm Optic Mount (model 99674):

http://www.weaveroptics.com/rings_bases/tactical/spr_30mm_optics_mount/

I haven't mounted it yet (waiting for my Burris MTAC to arrive) but it's seems like a high quality piece and it's made in the USA.

Found it at PSA for $75 with free shipping a few weeks back:

Midway has the Vortex for $99.99, spend a penny more and you can use the $20 coupon.
