UTGLeapers Inc., UTG SS Picatinny Riser Mount, 1", 13 Slots

Love these! They are SOLID without being too clunky. They are NOT useful for ultralight builds (not super heavy but not ultralight), but I'm using them on a 6.8 SPC, 6.5 Grendel, 450 Bushmaster, 458 SOCOM, and other, longer-barrel applications. I'm not looking for ultralight builds, but solid hunting rifles. Three screws on the rail might be overkill, and I DO wish they had a QD version, but I have no doubts about the quality or solidness of the mounts. If I had my druthers and unlimited funds, I'd probably go with Aero mounts (great mounts for a moderate price--same quality of mounts that cost 2-3x the price). But these cost 1/2 the price. I also appreciate that, unlike the other UTG mounts (which I also like--cost, QD, quality), they don't come with rails on the top of the rings. Less tacticool, more practical. PLUS, these use less real estate, allowing for the placement of a Caldwell Brass Catcher rail mount (the kind that slides on and off a rail-mounted stem, not the velcro wrap-around types) . Nice matte finish--black matches anodized uppers, FDE matches FDE ceracoated uppers, and I assume the other colors match up fairly well too. The style looks good on the rifles too--again, not tacticool, but slightly sculpted to add a little flair and cut a little weight. Nice looking--they don't detract from the rifle or try to steal the show while adding a little distinction to your build. Even though they are not ultralight, they ARE fairly light for their size, with cutouts that don't compromise the structural integrity. Try these. They are worth the price of admission!

Now, it's no Midwest Industries or the like BUT what it is is lightweight, seemingly well built, easy on the eyes and affordable For the cost I don't think you can beat this. First range trip was approx 400-500 rounds and it held just as you would expect for a quality mount. after getting the rings torqued down to spec I tried to move the scope in the mount just to prove to myself this was a piece of junk. I couldn't get it to budge. The scope never moved after the range trip and appears to be good enough for me without dropping big coin on a big name. Only thing I've heard bad about these is that the screws used to mount this to you rail have a tendency to back out but with a tough of Loctite I haven't seen any issues. Bottom line is that I would recommend this. If that changes I'll up date the review but for now I'm pleased with it.

Is it a Spur mount? LaRue? No. However, it is a very solid aluminum mount with good retention, well finished, for a very reasonable price. Plus, it looks better than the plain bottom-tier mounts so you get some cool points. I have installed a few dozen of these on customer rifles, and none have come back or complained. Looks sporty, works well. As always, blue thread locker is your friend.

Update: So after purchasing a better wrench than the one provided I was able to free the bolt and replace it with the extra sent with the mount. Of note is that the new bolt is of the "old" coating I mention below and turns into the mount MUCH more freely than the others though it does standout as "different" in color but I dont care how it looks. I still wish they stuck with the older anodizing but crisis averted. Ive upped my rating to 4 stars. These really are great mounts that stand up to abuse unlike others in this price range. I have basically switched to this mount exclusively. I have switched all of my AR platform rifles to run this mount. Having used plenty of other higher end mounts, this one is a steal for the price. I am a huge fan of the UTG products, however, unfortunately, the most recent one is junk. I believe they may have changed the anodizing or coating they use on these. One of the three locking torx head bolts that holds the mount to the rail is completely stripped. This was on a rifle that had not even been fired yet. I was dry fitting the scope/mount to the rifle and when I went to take it off, the bolt was TIGHT in the mount. The provided wrench was used to gently tighten it in place, AND then the same wrench was used to try and remove it - so this isn't a situation where it was over-torqued by any means. It's almost as if the coating on the mount causes the bolts to "hang up" on the threads. I suspect that the threads on the mount or bolt were threaded poorly or the coating is causing the tightness. I am now left with an upper I cannot use because I cannot get the mount off. A gunsmith will be needed to cut the mount off. I intend to reach out to the company to see if they will do something to correct/rectify. My advice is to be sure to spray the mount down with some brake cleaner and use some anti-seize on the bolts that hold the mount to the top of the receiver. I've never had to do this previously, but this mount does seem to have a slightly rougher coating than the other mounts (which in theory are the exact same mount). It will probably cost me more to have a gunsmith remove the mount from the upper receiver than it would be to just buy a new upper receiver and swap all the parts out. So, a $50 fix for a $40 mount - which saddens me. Again, I really do love these mounts and I don't think you can find a nicer mount for the price, just wish they had not changed the hardware/finish.

I have many UTG products now, and like them all. This one is no different. After seeing many Youtube & reading many Amazon reviews, I decided to try out this mount for a new Primary Arms, 30mm tube scope. 1st off... It fits like a glove! The base is light weight aluminum, very sturdy, and the extra height allows for easily adjusting the variable power ring. The mat black finish seems dull, but matches the finish on an AR15 upper. No sharp edges, double screws per side / per mounting post, and extra width between mounting points & cantilevers design - allow for a bit of freedom in the scopes position. All these points make this a great mount. The base uses Torx screws and has a square post, to lock securely into the pica-tinny rail. Plus it comes in a variety of colors and tube sizes. Amazon has the BEST PRICE, and for the money you can not beat it. I'll but this mount again, maybe in RED?

Hard product, very good quality, recommended for rifles.

Stabil und schussfest, sehr ordentliche Klemmung. Nach einigen Monaten im Einsatz immer noch sehr zufrieden. Und der Preis ist in Ordnung.

Rock solid. Highly recommended.

Light, but solid. The ring seating is pot on as well. Absolutely zero regrets about buying this. Well done UTG. This will handle any caliber you place it on.

Wasn't sure if this would actually make a difference or that it was really worth it.... But after I installed it and tried it out, I found it an excellent addition. Such a small and super light item for assisting your forend grip. Totally worth it and a nice touch. Highly recommend this addition to your rig to assist your grip. Love UTG.
