While the need for iron sights on your AR is real, the days of just shooting irons have sailed. Modern shooters see the addition of an optic as essential. There are countless pieces of glass on the market, and they all serve a purpose. One of the most utilitarian optics is the low-powered variable magnification (LPVO) optic. It allows you to work at both close and long distances. The challenge has been finding a good mount. A company that knows a thing or two about optics is Vortex. Today, they have released their new sport cantilever mount.
