The Trijicon Cantilever Mount (30mm, 1.535" height) is a precision-engineered optic mounting solution designed to keep variable power scopes sitting as low as possible for optimal cheek weld, field of view, and accuracy on hunting and long-range precision rifles.
- 30mm tube diameter with a 1.535" optical centerline height for a low-profile fit
- Mil-Spec 6061-T6 aluminum construction passes rigorous drop-test standards
- Flush mounting bolt configuration delivers a sleek, snag-resistant side profile
- Quick-release lever with automatic return-to-zero retention keeps your zero consistent
- Compatible with any Mil-Spec or NATO-standard Picatinny rail system
- Supports objective lenses up to 56mm — ideal for Trijicon variable power optics
Who This Is For
This mount is built for hunters, competitive shooters, and precision rifle enthusiasts who demand a rock-solid, repeatable optic platform. If you're running a Trijicon variable power scope — or any quality 30mm optic — and need a lightweight cantilever mount that removes and reinstalls without re-zeroing, the Trijicon CTL 30mm 1.535 is an excellent choice for bolt-action rifles, AR-platform builds, and any weapon system equipped with a full Picatinny rail.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which Trijicon scopes is this mount designed to work with?
This cantilever mount is engineered specifically for Trijicon variable power optics with a 30mm main tube, including popular models in the Trijicon Credo and Trijicon AccuPoint series. The 1.535" centerline height and cantilever design accommodate objective lenses up to 56mm, making it a natural pairing for mid-to-large variable power scopes. It will also work with any quality third-party 30mm scope that fits within these dimensional parameters.
Will this mount hold zero after being removed and reinstalled?
Yes. The Trijicon CTL Cantilever Mount features a quick-release lever with precision-cut dimensions and automatic retention engineering specifically designed for superior return-to-zero performance. This means you can remove the optic for transport or cleaning and reinstall it on the same rail without needing to re-zero your rifle — a major advantage for hunters and tactical shooters who frequently swap optics between platforms.
Is this mount suitable for AR-style rifles, or is it better suited for bolt-action platforms?
This mount is fully platform-agnostic — it will perform equally well on AR-15s, AR-10s, bolt-action precision rifles, and any other firearm equipped with a full-length Mil-Spec or NATO Picatinny rail. The cantilever design is particularly popular on AR-platform rifles where the receiver-mounted rail may not provide enough forward positioning for ideal eye relief, but hunters and precision shooters on bolt guns will appreciate the low-profile fit and consistent cheek weld it enables.
