Professional Torque Wrench System

The newly introduced Pro Torque Wrench from Vortex delivers precise torque application for scope mounting and firearm maintenance. This versatile tool accepts standard 1/4-inch bits and comes with a comprehensive selection of commonly needed bits for optics installation. Notably, the kit includes an extended T10 Torx bit, particularly useful for mounting red dot sights on pistol slides where access can be challenging.

The Pro Torque Wrench provides adjustable torque settings ranging from 10 to 90 inch-pounds, effectively preventing both under-tightening and over-tightening of critical components. Its ergonomic design and secure bit retention system enhance control during use. The complete package, which retails for $224.99, includes a durable storage case to protect the wrench and its accessories.

Precision Leveling Solution

Vortex's new Pro Leveling Kit addresses a critical aspect of rifle accuracy. Even slight scope misalignment can cause significant point-of-impact shifts at distance – a mere one-degree cant introduces nearly nine inches of horizontal deviation at 300 yards.

The ingenious dual-level system places one bubble level atop the scope's elevation turret cap while the second attaches to a Picatinny rail segment. This configuration ensures proper alignment between the scope's vertical adjustment and the rifle's true vertical plane. With an MSRP of just $44.99, this practical tool offers exceptional value for its precision-enhancing capabilities.

Enhanced Sport Cantilever Mount

Completing the new lineup is the updated Sport Cantilever Mount, an improved version of an existing Vortex product. The redesigned mount features integrated recoil lugs for enhanced stability under recoil forces while maintaining an impressively light weight of under 5.5 ounces.

A practical addition to the mount is the laser-etched torque specifications for both ring and base screws, eliminating guesswork during installation. The mount is available in both 30mm and 1-inch tube diameter configurations, with both versions priced at $179.99.
