Optic mount for AR in 450

[sevt_chevelle]

Looking for suggestions on an optic mount for an AR15 am finishing building in 450 Bushmaster. I'll be running a Vortex Viper PST 1-6. Not needing anything with OD mounts but not opposed either.
Was looking at mounts from Aero precision.

Also saw this mount from Warne.

Thoughts suggestions...Thanks...Eric

Try Larue:

Consider their VFZ mount:

“About VFZ™ Mounts:
VFZ™ is a new theory in the concept of clamping accessories to MIL-STD-1913 rails. Instead of using a horizontal cross-bolt, the VFZ™ uses a vertical bolt that draws up a clamping foot against the lower angle of the rail, seating the mount similarly to a fully-closed LaRue lever. Once installed on the firearm, index marks allow the user to remove the mount, then reattach to the same tension, providing unprecedented return to zero for a non-QD-levered mount. The unique vertical alignment of the clamp allows components that are structurally stronger than traditional cross-bolt designs.

Why should I select VFZ™ Mounts instead of a QD Lever Mount?:
If you intend to leave an optic or accessory on a rail for the life of the rifle, the VFZ™ option is for you. The VFZ™ is intended as a longer-term, semi-permanent mounting alternative to our well-known Speed Levers. While both mounts will allow the user to remove the mount from the weapon, reinstall it in the same position, and return to zero, the VFZ™ mount is intended for users that will not need to constantly remove and install their mounts (especially in the field).”

I'm sure those are good mounts but maybe more expensive than needed.
I have this mount on a 450 I just assembled. Have had one on a 6.5 Grendel for a while now and it works fine. My dealer sells them to me for a little over $30 as I recall.

I'm using a Burris PEPR on my 450. Quality heavy duty mount at a good price. Mine is not the quick release version, but they are available.

I've got a couple of these mounts also, and they are gtg.

I am using the Aero Precision mount with a Burris MTAC on my 300BO and it's been pretty good.

On my 450 BM I am using the Vortex cantilever mount but I have the Vortex Viper HS on it.

I have a couple of the Aero Precision Ultralights and they are great, very well machined. I can't comment on their ability to maintain zero, as I don't have adequate experiences with them in that regard yet.

+1 on the Burris PEPR mount.
I have used it on several ARs.

Warne, Vortex, Aero, Burris, Larue, all good. Warne and Vortex are shorter than the Burris by about .2”, which is great for me, but may not be foryou. Any of these will hold up to .450.

I have two of the PEPR’s, no complaints. If the Warne is still on sale then that’s what I’d get. At that price I will Warne over Burris.

I agree with Varminterror.
