This mount is exactly what I wanted for my Vortex Razor sight, I especially like the lower profile of the way the sight mounts without having to use the spacer if I were to use another type 45 degree picatinny mount.

Did not fit my Vortex Venom but the item felt solid quality. It even came with the allen wrench for install. It had a nice low profile design. I ended up getting the same item but designed for the Venom red dot sight.

I got the 45 offset mount on, and mounted the optic. But, no matter how much I moved it around or where I remounted it I could not get the red dot to even get close to zero. I'm not sure if the mount is bent or if there is some other problem I can't figure out but with out shimming the mount it won't work. The gun is a LWRC ic-di and the red dot is a vortex venom.

I like to shoot 3 gun matches and I run a vortex venom on a 45 degree mount under my scope. This mount worked ok for maybe a couple seasons. Though I did have to retighten it very carefully before every match, seriously careful. Even with blue loc-tite it would eventually back out. It finally gave up the ghost on my first match stage yesterday, bummer. I think vortex would probably replace it, no questions asked, but the design is very poor. No wonder it stripped out. The pinch bolt is tiny(more grub screw like) and it threads into a dainty piece of the cast aluminum and only partially engaging the rail. Not to mention I'm only getting 3-5 threads of bite from the bolt. 5 maximum. So yeah. But if you want to run a vortex red dot on a 45 degree mount this is your only option from what I can tell. Pretty sure my venom didn't attach straight away either, there was a little fine gun-smithing done in that respect as well, and the reason why vortex gets such low marks from me in the mount dept. Really poor showing and on top of that I have a Vortex Spitfire mount that very much tells a similar tale. Anyway, I made this mount work by taking it apart and putting it in my drill press. I drilled all the way through the bolt threads and across to other side of the rail and into the meat of the mount where there was plenty of blank to drill into. Something that should have been done in the beginning from vortex. I chased it with an 8/32 –die and now I run a bolt all the way across the rail. The bolt has 10-13 threads of engagement now instead of 3-5 and it grips from both sides of the rail. ta-da. Not hard, a shame you have to pay for the privilege to do what should've been done already.So do I recommend this mount? Not really, but its the only game in town if you want to run a vortex red dot on a 45 degree mount. You can make it work. Hope your decent with a drill press and a tap and die. Until Vortex figures out the mount game you will be doing this mod sooner or later. Guaranteed. Maybe okay for airsoft or pellet gun duty in the meantime.

This is a sweet offset mount if you're a fan of the Vortex Razor red dot. I put my offset mount and red dot on my AR-15 and it's great. 5/5 stars. I use a leupold tactical riflescope and this offset mount.

Sadly I have used multiple Vortex products (mostly optics) and never had any issues. This mount is decently made BUT the mounting screw is well under my expectations. The tiny screw barely gets about 3 threads before tightening which is just inadequate. For comparison, most iron sights that I use on the same gun have solid size screws in order to secure them and keep the weapon zeroed. This one is a tiny screw, maybe equivalent to M2 metric which will not secure this mount well enough to prevent zero shift if the weapon gets bumped (like in a 3-gun barrel dumping). Also, the screw head is a tiny 5/64ths Allen key which is not adequate for torqueing the mount. Just look at any legitimate flip up iron sights and compare the difference with this mount. They could have used a larger Allen key or a large Torx head screw to make sure this mount is secured to the picatinny. Recommendations:1) Use larger screws that can handle more torque, such as the Dueck Defense Irons (for example)2) Use longer screws to ensure at least several threads catch on before the mount is tightened, in order to ensure secure mounting. However, you have to leave the other end of the screw open so you can use longer screws. Just look at any other irons or sling attachment mounts (Dueck Defense, Magpul BUIS, etc} and you shoul get the idea. I am seriously considering returning this product. I just can't trust the cheap mounting design.
