Pro Torque Wrench
Vortex’s new Pro Torque Wrench makes it easy to hit the appropriate torque spec when mounting scopes or other accessories. It is compatible with any standard 1/4-inch bits, and includes a wide range of the popular bits used for scope mounting and firearm maintenance. One of those is an extended T10 Torx bit, which is a very nice touch for mounting red dots on pistol slides. The MSRP for the Pro Torque Wrench is $224.99, which includes a plastic case to contain the wrench and accessories.
Pro Leveling Kit
Scopes are tubular and need to be mounted level to the gun lest they introduce error at range. Only one degree of cant would result in almost nine inches of horizontal error at 300 yards. The Pro Leveling Kit places one level on top of the scope elevation cap and one attached to a picatinny rail segment. The MSRP on this kit is only $44.99, which is a bargain for something that is this convenient.
Sport Cantilever Mount
The Sport Cantilever Mount is an update on a previous mount sold by Vortex. It features recoil lugs, weights less than 5.5 ounces, and has torque specs etched into the mount for both the ring and base screws. Both 30mm and 1-inch models are available, and both retail for $179.99.
