Geissele Super Precision Scope Mount 30MM Black (Vortex 1-6), for AR-15 05-329B

Geissele Super Precision Scope Mount 30MM Black 05-329B, is a SOPMOD Certified mount built to mate a Vortex 1-6x optic to an AR-15 upper with no float in the fit - sized to that optic family specifically, not a general-purpose ring pressed into service.

SOPMOD certification means this Geissele scope mount has already gone through USSOCOM's testing and approval process under the SOPMOD accessory program, the same one that covers the M4A1 carbine and FN SCAR platforms. That's a different claim than "mil-spec" marketing language - there's an actual government evaluation behind it. Body and rings come from a single 4.5-pound block of 7075-T6 billet aluminum, and the mounting surface spans 8 picatinny sections.

Clamping runs through Geissele's nut-and-bolt system, not a lever or cam, pulling 1,400 pounds of force per nut - up to three times what a lever-style mount generates. Precision-machined shear lugs do the actual work of resisting recoil, locking the optic against the receiver so the clamp bolts aren't the only thing holding it there. Geissele's also moved away from serialized caps on this 30mm scope mount: testing showed the caps interchange between towers without any loss of return-to-zero, so a damaged or lost cap doesn't sideline the whole mount anymore.

As a Geissele 30mm scope mount purpose-built around one optic pairing, this is the kind of fit you get when the mount isn't trying to be universal.
