Monstrum Hypergrip Cantilever Scope Mount with Quick Release

High quality mount that hold zero perfectly. I chose this due to needing to store rifle without the scope. I take scope off multiple times a week and have never had an issue with zero when re-mounting. I am going to purchase the 34mm next for another precision long range build.

These fit nicely on an AR upper, they're also slightly taller than other rings so they help with keeping a good cheek weld when looking through a scope. The quick release function definitely works well and locks up tight so you shouldn't have to worry about the expensive optic taking a tumble. Easy to remove and attach which is a definite plus when switching to a different optic or just iron sights. Overall great product.

A GREAT PURCHASE REALLY EASY TO INSTALL AND THEY SEEM STURDY

Was looking for a QD mount for my Monstrum Beast LPVO and couldn’t be happier with the quality, fit, or finish. Great value. Mounted up easily. Time will tell how well it holds zero.

When I first got this, I hated it. I couldn't get it to detach without loosening it, and when I loosened it enough to be able to detach it, the scope had wobble. However, after breaking it in I found the sweet spot and realized that they aren't really meant to be "easy" to detach or "quick" despite the names. They are tight, and they should be. However, if you need to remove the scope and still keep your zero, they work. I recommend marking the spot where the scope mount sits so you don't accidentally change the zero by moving positions. Overall, it works great, looks great, sits low on the receiver and was easy to get the scope attached to it despite never having done that before. Definitely worth the upgrade if you might want to remove it in the future and not lose your zero.

Great quality. Hooks up great and provides a solid mount.

UPDATE 5/19/2025: I’ve since taken my new Vortex 4-16x FFP scope with this mount to the range a couple of times, including putting about 200 rounds through it. The good news is that I’ve dialed in the zero and it has held that zero so far. One thing I believe helped: using Loctite to help set the tension screws just right so that after you clasp on the mount, the screws don’t walk out on you during recoil. Speaking of which, my castle nut, which WAS factory staked, actually walked out on me during this time! And the takedown pin detent spring nearly came out of the backplate. Thankfully I caught it in time and was able to fix it and retighten it with a spanner wrench. But was not expecting that! At least the mount was ok though. I’ll update again down the road if need be! Original review: It is immediately evident that this mount is more robust than the mount that came with my Monstrum Banshee 1-6x LPVO (see photos). This adds a little more weight, but that plus the QD make it worth it imo. I haven’t yet taken it to the range to see if it holds zero, but I plan to either this week or next and will update if it doesn’t hold zero. One potential area of concern: the cross bolts are rather shallow, and there are only two (the ones that are tied to the QD levers). It would have been nice if they added another lug or two to add rigidity, particularly for preventing forward or backward movement, but what can you do. One last note: like most Monstrum (and many other metal rifle brand) products, it is made from 6061 aluminum. This is strong enough for me, as I am not planning on “going to battle” with my AR, drop testing it, etc etc. That said, if you are a “hard use” user (eg military or LEO), you might want to invest in a mount from the more reputable brands, such as Larue, Geissele, Unity, Reptilia, etc. Not because this has failed on me yet, but just saying.

It was everything I expected, I have seen them before and wanted one. I had purchased a new expensive scope and wanted a good mount and all the mounts i had were the wrong size. When I researched scope mounts this one popped up and I searched no further.
