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.
Ensure you visit the website to determine the clearance height of the mount. American Defense makes a variety of other options. For my AR-10 with a flattop receiver, this mount allowed by scope to just clear my rear BUIS. However, a different scope had to be pushed forward. So again, measure your required clearance of the optics you intend to mount and check the website to ensure you get the size you need.
I will purchase again and recommend this mount to all my friends putting optics on a flattop shooting platform.
I mounted this to a piece of 30mm TGP rod I use when I mount scopes to my precision rifles and need to lap rings. I measured deflection of the cantilevered ring when I torqued the rear ring first, then torqued the front ring. I got <0.002" and that bar is NOT light.
I have used ARMS 22 rings on my MK12 SPR and this single-piece mount is at least as well made and easier to use. Instills alot of confidence when you have a piece of gear this rugged on your rifle.
