I love that I don't have to sit through 5 minuten of tacticool facecam shooting montages when I'm just looking for quality information on scopes and mounts. Pew pew'ed the subscribe button :)
25 in-lbs for the rail screws; 18 in-lbs for rings. The only downside I've experienced is the scope rotating when torquing rings, you have to compensate before tightening and it takes a few tries. The first time I mounted the scope it took a good 20 minutes and lots of frustration just to get it torqued straight. Second time only took 2 attempts...
I’ve been running this mount since 2016 it’s now 2024. It’s on my go to rifle and has been awesome. It goes everywhere with me hunting shooting and honestly trust it. I installed per manufacturer specs and it has never shifted.
If someone has an issue with stripping out the threads…they need to invest in a torque screwdriver as suggested in the video and follow the instructions…I’ve used these AERO scope mounts on several AR builds with zero issues…there is always the chance of change of impact or damage if you ever drop your rifle…as for AERO changing the construction and weight on their mounts…those exist all over Amazon from a shitload of manufacturers (mostly imports but satisfactory for the price YMMV)…I will continue to use AERO mounts for lightweight AR builds along with the Leupold FX 2.5 lightweight scope to keep weight down. Thank you for your reviews and insight 👍👍👍
I have a 34mm set for Primary Arms PLx ACSS Raptor. Torqued to spec with Wheeler tool and was getting zero shifts at 100yds. I lapped the rings and everything was fine.
One thing I can say from experience with machining very thing walled surfaces. Its very very challenging to keep the material from moving. So having to lap it doesnt surprise me.
Same lpvo with the aero ultra light spr , same issues on a .308. Repeatedly lost zero. Torqued to spec with the exact Wheeler in the video, blue loctite. Switched to an adm recon, no problems.
Ive had 4 of these mounts. The first one i got was out of spec as the rings were too small. When I tightened down properly using a torque wrench it damaged the finish of the scope and destroyed the internals where the illumination started flickering while shooting. Luckily vortex has great customer service and replaced it, no questions asked. Aero also returned the mount and after looking at it they replaced it, but with the wrong one. They told me to keep that one and sent the correct one. Its been ok. I'm not a fan of the pinch points where the screws are and the rings connect up top. I like my American defense quick release mount much better, and its worth the extra money and weight in my opinion.
The situation where they send a bad product out is unfortunate, But it does happen. It really sucks that they didnt even send the right part. ADM stuff has been so solid for me. Great balance of weight, functionality and price.
@@CDOES yes, they tried to stand by their product and because it destroyed my scope, they immediately sent out a new one.....but the wrong one. I contacted them and they told me to keep it for a future product and sent another one, which was actually really cool of them. So maybe for my next lightweight/hunting/air rifle build, it will find a home. Although I am thinking of replacing it and the strike eagle 1-8 gen 1 with something better. Its on an lwrc m6ic di right now which has been fantastic for years and I want to get a better optic setup for it eventually. I just don't have a "need" to replace it. Ive got the steiner p4xi which has been GREAT in the ADM QD mount and a modlite plhv2/ on an 11.5 centurion arms cm4 with a stoner 63 flash hider and its my favorite "go to" setup. Have you tested any glass on x39 AKs? I tend to keep my AKs with irons but I want to get a good glass setup for my sam7sf and ACE .308 I think. Im geeking out now so ill stop :)
@@irwig05 your right, maybe aero sent me a 1 inch tube in a 30mm box by accident. Vortex warranty turned out to be fantastic, and aero covered their bases too.
I bought one of these in FDE back when I had no idea what I was doing with scopes. I got lucky and despite pretty much guaranteeing that i over torqued them a couple times mounting/re-mounting, they haven't stripped. I did years later starting pondering the efficacy of cerakote inside the ring surface...i know guys say "modern 1 piece mounts don't need to be lapped" but i have a hard time believing that you wouldn't gain anything based on the lack of precision we have been seeing from so many other AR parts recently - coming from my own observations as well as gunsmiths and armorer's. I've not confirmed this IS in fact the case with scope mounts, but something I've wondered. But one thing I feel a lot more sure about is, I would trust the trueness of an anodized mount before trusting one that had cerakote inside the rings. Needless to say..i tried lapping my aero mount...which was a nightmare. The way the rings work, they walk around as you work the lapping tool around...i may have made it worse by doing this..but the moral of the story for me was just to avoid cerakoted mounts so that my piece of mind is moreso retained. lol
I've had an Ultralight on a AR15-22 for years and never had a problem. Using this on a 9 pound .223 and you might never have a problem. But I suspect that using this on a lightweight 6.5 Grendel build with a heavier scope would evidentially destroy it.
THIS IS BY FAR THE FINEST MOUNT ON THE ENTIRE PLANET EARTH I LOVE IT SO MUCH THAT I WENT BACK AND BOUGHT ANOTHER ONE BOTH A 1 nch AND A 30 mm THEY ARE FABULOUS ON MY AR S !!!
Love my aero mounts, hate that your reticle rotates slightly when you tighten down the scope but just hold onto your scope and it should stay in place....most of the time.
Its just a design of this particular mount. The Vertical clamshells of the ADM Recon mount is superior. Because you tighten the bottom 2 screws, clock the optic perfectly. Then tighten the top 2 and have zero rotational issues.
Can’t wait to see your thoughts on the alpha 3, just a tad bit heavier and supposedly much more durable considering the army is using it with their tango 6s
@@sonickiller360 Hey, that's pretty good! It's not cheap, but it's not expensive compared to other high quality, lightweight mounts like the Scalarworks I'd definitely like to see CDoes' thoughts on it
They did a lot of work to make it as light weight as possible. So much material got removed where you clearly dont need it. It has steel components, but sparingly.
I do not get how your channel is not larger, you are better then a lot of the big name chanels. I feel review on the night force 2.5-10x42 would be nice and the leupold vx6HD 3-18 TMOA/ TMR
Had a scope lose zero while just sitting, didn't take a fall or anything. Have 2 of these mounts. One gun has been solid, and has been through a fall, didn't lose zero. The other, that was just sitting around and didn't take a fall, did. By 7 moa. Think i may need a new scope -.-
This mount doesn’t like high volumes of fire. I used blue loctite and a fat wrench and had it on my AUG. I let it cure 24 hours before shooting. At the end of my range session a dumped my mag. I will say it’s the fastest I ever shot my AUG. I was checking things over afterwards and the scope was sliding back and forth Really needs to be made out of 7075 I was let down because it worked well on my .308” It’s not even 3.5oz so I wasn’t too surprised
On ARs, I mostly run AEro mounts mainly for weight savings and they’ve performed well for the money….. but I don’t torture test them, and you have to MAKE SURE YOU DONT OVER-TORQUE this mount or it may very well strip out or snap. As long as you recognize it’s limitations and weak points, they’re good to go if your aim is to save weight.
It's way stronger than the aero. Ugly and you gonna get dragged but the utg I still the best mount in its price range. Next would be Warne and sig. Very nice as well.
Just grabbed up one from primary arms on sale for 60 bucks today. It will be replacing their pa "advanced" cantilever mount which I was rather disappointed with. I do keep hearing that it's a pain in the butt to level a scope properly in the mount because as you tighten the rings pull the scope in a clockwise rotation. I have scope leveling triangles, "I can't think of their actual name" where it slides up underneath the turret of the scope while keeping itself level to the scope mount. I wonder if I'll have issues using that thing with this.
It would be nice to see it with an optic on the rifle. I want to see if it will allow my fingers to operate the charging handle. I can go to any web site and see pictures of the product.
Scope packaging should always have torque specs for rings, and for base. Its definitely got some weak points for it. The screws for base screw into the lugs, which is a silly design. If something is going to go wrong, that would be one weak point. The light torque spec they are listing of 15 inch pounds is a pretty good indicator of strength quality. That is pretty much airsoft/rimfire optic torque specs. Good rings usually handle 22 to 25 inch pounds, and bases 25 pounds. Many good mounts run 65 inch pounds on pic rail mount. Since this is in $80 range, I'd look at Burris Pepr mounts. More weight but definitely a tougher more robust mount for the money. They also put the torque specs on their mounts, which is a no brainer. Honestly, Aero quality seems to be lacking in quality lately on the AR parts. Been seeing a lot of missed spots on anodization that should never of left the factory.
I commented this on another video, but you ever thought about selling the chart you use for zeroing? I'd love to get my own, but am to lazy to make my own lol Also, I've got a handful of aero mounts and I have always torqued my screws to 18 in/lbs and haven't had an issue yet but ymmv
Hey man, I just replied to your comment. I think a lot of problems with these mounts comes from improper setup. Not torqued enough, or too much. No loctite. Not pushing it forward on the rail before securing. So many variables.
I just mounted this thing on my SFAR (.308/7.62 NATO) and it was a disaster - I set and leveled the scope, and the mount, set the rings to 15in-lbs and the base to 25in-lbs with loctite, let set for 24hr and took t to the range. The grouping was awful - The scope and the rifle are good. User error could be to blame, but it is not my first time behind rifle.
I have always been skeptical of these "super light weight" concepts, because the lighter weight normally means thinner structure and less durability when it comes to scope mount. I will just just stick with my AD qd cantilever mount, maybe try out sphur if i get a chance
I had looked and couldn't find torque specs for this, so messed it up. I'm working with Aero for a warranty replacement. We'll see how it goes. Over-torqueing will blow out the clasps at the top of the rings!
If only there was a way for a company to somehow engrave the torque specs on the body of the mount itself. That way no one could ever possibly guess and potentially damage the mount and force the company to then replace said mount.... If only.
@@CDOES, you aren't incorrect in your thinking. In this case, Aero has not seen fit to put those specs ANYWHERE, much less directly on the product. It's not on the box, not on a separate paper in the box, not even on their website. I'm seriously considering getting a cheapo mount as a backup in case they say no. I've had good luck with those cheapo mounts and this time wanted to try a "better" mount. So much for luck.
I have the swampfox hostile engagement mount with the Arrowhead 1x10 with the justice Red dot mounted. It is a heavy set up. I'm debating doing an aero and mounting a picatinney top rider for the red dot. I weighed them out and it reduces the weight by 4 ounces but I'm worries about the durability of the aero for a shtf, any thoughts?
I had two of mine break. Front of it cracked and screws sheared off from a very low drop. Another I don't have an answer but was cracked as well and top ring mount almost fell completely off, held on by 1 screw.. I won't use them again.
RAZORJB...on the second failure (not the one that dropped), can you provide some specifics. What type of scope, what was the weight and caliber of the rifle? How many rounds. I theorize that these do best with light weight scopes.
It was Beautifully made and had stellar features. Very lightweight, but also expensive. The balance of everything is for me. The Midwest mount was one of the best for the price. Same for the ADM, which is why I have 6 of them.
This video showed up in my feed so I thought I would share my thoughts. The mount is complete trash seen 3 fail… one the engagement lips at the top the aluminium developed cracks making my best friend spend so much ammo chasing a zero, same friend got a replacement along with another friend of mine could never get it tight the scope had the ability to move with screws torqued to spec. Get a quality mount that the maker does not cheap out and only have one place to tighten the ring and tighten evenly.
I can see both sides of the story on these. If I was going for weight savings, Id give it a shot. But if I was looking for a mount for a serious setup, Id go for something more substantial.
Being super light weight, and thin in a lot of critical area's to try and save weight. And people not setting them up properly could certainly cause that. As well as hard abuse dropping them and hitting them against things. This is a lightweight, light use mount.

7k series would of made way more sense. I would break this so easy running heavy duty lpvos
Cost would certainly add to it. I think if they just put 2 holes ontop instead of the claw it would fix 90% of the weaknesses of this mount.
I would break this on the 1st mag.
Hahah Im rough on my stuff. So it would be hard for me to feel confident. But for a light duty firearm this is good.

I've seen about a half dozen photos of broken Aero Ultralights.
I suspect under recoil a heavy scope will eventually break this. Perhaps it would best serve on a hunting AR that doesn't see a lot of rounds.
perhaps there are only more photos of broken aero ultralights because they sell so many of them. perhaps they are weak as hell lol
