When selecting a Picatinny mount for the Leupold DeltaPoint Pro, consider the height to ensure proper co-witness with your iron sights. A lower mount usually allows for a more streamlined setup.

3

Great point about co-witnessing! Also, make sure the mount is lightweight but robust enough for your specific weapon type.

4

I agree with both of you, but what about weight? A lighter mount can reduce the overall weight of your setup, which is crucial for long days at the range or field.

5

Absolutely, the weight of the mount impacts balance. Also consider how it attaches to your weapon; compatibility is key!

For my AR-15, I found that a medium height mount worked best with the DeltaPoint Pro. It provides a comfortable cheek weld while allowing quick target acquisition.

Good to know! Is there a specific brand that you’ve found consistent in quality for that height?

I use a Vortex mount with my DeltaPoint Pro. It’s sturdy and hasn’t failed me yet, even after a few falls! Does anyone have opinions on the Vortex mounts?

I’ve been using a Leupold mount that fits perfectly with the DeltaPoint Pro. Keep in mind that using OEM parts typically provides better compatibility.

11

True! OEM parts usually ensure seamless integration, but they often come with a higher price tag. Worth it in the long run?

Height adjustment is critical, especially with the type of shooting you do. Tactical shooters often favor different heights than competition shooters. What’s your primary use?

For me, it’s a mix of tactical and competition. I need something versatile—any suggestions that cater to both styles?

16

Try a two-piece mount. They can usually handle various shooting styles while giving you the height you need!

17

It’s all about balancing height and weight. A bad setup can even ruin your day at the range—like bringing a spoon to a knife fight!

I’m looking into mounting my DeltaPoint Pro as well! I’ve heard that using a torque screwdriver is crucial for the installation. What do you all recommend?

19

Absolutely! A torque screwdriver ensures that you don’t overtighten the screws, which can damage the mount or the optic itself. Just be sure to check the manufacturer’s specifications for the torque settings.

I’ve mounted the DeltaPoint Pro on my rifle using a UTG mount, and it worked perfectly! Make sure to align it properly with your sights. Adjustments can be finicky.
