  • LaRue who? save $50! Buy ADM!
**mar 21,2017 update below** An excellent,rock solid mount for AR type rifles. Excellent quality,very well made and smooth in operation. Slightly heavier than the very lightest mounts available but not too heavy. Well worth the xtra bucks over the typical lower quality and featureless mounts in the sub-$100 range and night & day difference over the low quality quick detach mounts in the sub-$50 class. Most of those are designed for airsoft guns btw. I know they seem decent but they are made from inferior materials and are not properly heat treated. Dont waste your money on those! This ADM is the REAL thing! The American Defense AD recon 30 std is very well made and finished with a good looking,durable anodizing that matches my FN AR-15 perfectly. It mounted my Primary Arms 1-8× 24 mm ACSS scope quickly,easily and securely. A very good optic btw. The mount is designed to allow for variations in scope and rail tolerances and provides rock solid and repeatable mounting. The quick detach lever clamps are spring loaded making removal/reinstallation fast and positive and the levers have a smart,secure and easy to use locking system. The tension adjustments are fast and easy to adjust allowing 8) positions per revolution. My rear lever is either slightly too tight or too loose depending on how ive adjusted it however. I expect it will loosen up with time though. This mount wont chew up your rails like some do. A great design. The mount has just about perfect eye relief for my application and height above rail is ideal for my setup. It just does clear my Magpul MBUS rear sight when folded with about 1/8" (3mm for you infidels) to spare. This is perfect for a good cheek weld but does crowd the charging handle a bit with my preferred mount location as all mounts of this height will. Also my front sight frame is quite visible and prominent at 1-3x with this mount height and my scope. It dissapears above 3x however and doesnt really affect me anyway as i use this scope like a red-dot/reflex,illuminated at 1x and then crank to 8x for everything else. After mounting up my first trip to my local indoor 25 meter range saw my groups shrink to 1/8" for 3-rounds .Return to zero seems 100%. As good as any quick detach mount out there. Ill hit the 100-800 meter range as soon as weather clears here in Atlanta. Ill update with any pertinent info if necessary. Overall an excellent product and one i fully and highly recommend. Theres no need to spend more,this is one of the best quick detach mounts on the market and $50 less than compareable products. No complaints,only praise. Extremely highly recommended! **update** I bought another 1 for my excellent Primary Arms 4-14x ACSS R-grid scope I also just ordered. The 2nd mount is exactly like the 1st. Simply superb and the best bargain in USA produced mounts available. ... show more

  • Good scope mount
Definitely a good mount hold solid and strong. Easy to mount the scope and easy to mount on the rifle. It’s expensive but definitely worth it for a solid mount. You can’t hold any zero with crap equipment. Definitely solid!!

  • Extremely durable, no/minimal zero shift after drops, removal, and storage
I have had doubts about mounts with quick-release levers ever since experiencing the A.R.M.S. mounting system with the Elcan Specter DR 1-4x; However, this cantilever mount puts that to shame. I started with Vortex Strike Eagle OPMOD 1-6x LPVO and tested it out at a variety of distances; the rifle was put down many times and generally not given any preferential treatment. Every time I picked it back up, the zero remained consistent. After being very impressed with its performance and confident that the mount would not drop the optic, I switched to a Vortex Razor HD Gen II 1-6x24 and tested out the consistency of the mounting system with it. As before the performance was spectacular, with no changes in zero discernible to myself or anyone around me. Any deviations in shot placement could be attributed to me and other conditions rather than the integrity of the optics system. Highly recommend; installation was quick and easy and if the torque specs are followed, there is no reason that this mount should perform anything other than spectacularly. ... show more

  • I am glad I did and this is now my go-to
I now order these for every scope I put on. This is my third. I have tried a few others and thought it was time to spend a little more money for a nicer mount for a nicer scope. I am glad I did and this is now my go-to. I have had several of the Burris mounts, and while they are ok for the money, these are a huge step up in quality. They are beefy and rock solid. I'm not sure why it took me so long to try these out. They are popular with the precision guys. I will be replacing all my mounts with these in the coming months. It sits high enough to clear rear BUIS on an AR and forward enough to get good eye relief. These and LaRue and the highest quality single piece mounts I have seen. The QD locks down good and tight. It is adjustable in case your rails are a little out of spec. Great mount and I am glad I went this route. ... show more

  • Legitimate ADM Product
It's a legit ADM product, and as such, is of exceptional quality. Great QD levers that you'd expect from ADM. Includes allen wrenches, a couple stickers, and a nice tube of Vibratite. Had to hunt a bit for torque specs for the rings. They are 20-25 in/lb OR whatever your scope mfg recommends. Starting from the bottom bolts first. Tighten everything loosely, then snug up the bottoms, and torque them to spec. Then torque the top bolts to spec. As noted in their online manual (not included in box) the bottoms should be torqued first, and the tops will have a small gap even after applying the correct torque. Make sure to apply vibratite to all these bolts. The QD tightness is self explanatory on how to adjust. Great product, very happy. ... show more

  • Great product.
This mount works great. Got it for a primary arms 1x8x24 and it works as it should. Included is the allen key and locktite along with mount etc. After I unscrewed the ring mounts and installed the scope it first held the scope but very loosely. I tried tightening using the "X" style to tighten evenly yet it still was held loosly. I then loosened the top screws and tightened the lower screws and there it began to tighten securely. Just incase anyone else may end up just as I have, tighten the bottom screws first and at the same time leaving the top screws not as tight. After the scope feels secure then continue to tighten the top screws. The quick release tabs is a bit on the smaller side and for me I have a little difficulty releasing them both but more so the front tab. Tension I have set it for is not super tight but moderate so it holds and still have a little diffulculty using the release tabs however, I dont think Ill be removing the mount often. Overall great product and feels solid and smooth. ... show more
