The Aero Precision Ultralight 1-inch scope mount, Standard profile, is a lightweight base-and-ring combination for AR-15 style uppers (Aero Precision part no. APRA210100). It is machined from extruded 6061 T6 aluminum and finished in black anodize, with a cross-slot keyway that gives the mount recoil protection on the rail. At 3.07 ounces it carries a 1-inch tube scope without adding the bulk of a conventional mount, which suits a carbine or lightweight hunting build where every ounce counts. Aero Precision builds it in the United States and describes it as one of the lightest mounts in the industry. It is a straightforward choice for a 1-inch optic on any rifle with a Mil-Spec 1913 Picatinny rail.

Key Specifications

• The mount interface is a 1913 Picatinny rail, the standard on AR-type upper receivers.
• The scope ring size is 1 inch, so it fits scopes with a 1-inch main tube.
• The mount profile is Standard, which sets the height of the optic over the rail.
• The material is 6061 T6 extruded aluminum, a strong alloy that keeps weight low.
• The finish is anodized black, which resists wear and matches most rifles.
• Weight is 3.07 ounces, light enough not to upset a lightweight rifle.
• A cross-slot keyway locks into the rail slot to protect against recoil shifting the mount.
• The design is a one-piece base and ring combo, so there is no separate base to install.
• It is made in America, as stated by Aero Precision.
