Rock solid and worth Every penny!
by Mike -
I was looking for a solid mount for my Battle rifle. This is about as solid as I could ask for. I'll be using these in the future for sure!!! the double-locking levers were a breeze to set up.

Bought this mount for a Primary Arms Nova to go on my 223 Wylde rifle and was impressed with the fit and finish. The locking cam quick release works perfectly. I sighted in at 50/200. After 300 rds, there was no significant shift from zero.
Great QD mount that's easy to get the scope adjusted just right
by Sean -
I love ADM QD mounts for a long time. The biggest plus to this mount is the ease of adjusting the scope inside the mount. With the vertical orientation of the clamping force you torque the bottom screws to spec then adjust the reticle to be level then torque the upper screws and your done! Very easy and quick.
Much Better
by Sheepdog
My first review of this mount was 2 stars and I was brutal. David from Customer Service called me the day after it was posted. After a short chat I agreed to try a replacement mount. It took awhile to iron out the details on shipping because of issues on my end, it all worked.
Received the mount yesterday and mounted it up in the PM. Worked perfectly and appears to be as solid as advertised. PA Customer service was helpful as hell and spot on with humor and wit. David and Adrian make a good team. 5 Stars says it all.
Not good enough
by Sheepdog -
The locking mechanism worked fine until the rear one thought it was tight enough and stopped giving adjustment. Then things got better....
The rings are marked "30mm" and I guess half of them are. The other two, which happen to be the halves on both front and rear ring would not fit my Leupold 30mm scope. The fit, after setting it up several times with proper torque settings was loose enough, only on one side, to slide the instruction sheet between the rings and scope all the way to the rear. If bad products are made on Monday mornings and Friday afternoons, this one was "machined" at midnight.
Three mounts and they screwed them up 33% of the time. 8 LaRue's and even after a decade of hard use not a peep. Yep, more money, but you get what you pay for.
I was happy that we could help you on this issue per our conversation. We will get you taken care as quickly as we can.
American Defense Recon QD
by Pete North Las Vegas -
Probably the best QD on the market. Levers on the correct left side so if you’re running Magpul PRO off-set irons at the rear there will be no interference issues with levers being on the right (wrong) side like some competitors do. Shipping time from Primary Arms decent.
Only ADM mounts from now on
by Joe
This, like all ADM products, is rock solid and super high quality. This is the kind of QD that other companies try to replicate, but ADM's levers and mechanism is the best there is. This has the best true return to zero of any QD scope mount. Check the ADM website for their guide image that lays out all the measurements for height and offset for all their mount models, and get the exact mount that is right for your set up.
11/10, would mount again.
The perfect quick mount for you optic

It works perfectly, letting me add my Vortex Strike Eagle to my 300 Blackout when I want in seconds.
Great mount
by Jj -
This mount is rock solid, I have it paired with a primary arms 1-6 acss , once zeroed it holds well after being removed several times I highly recommend
American Defense makes a great mount.
by P. Abreu -
I've bought multiple American Defense mounts. They are excellent quality and truly do keep zero after being removed and installed multiple times. They cost a little bit more but are definitely worth it.
As per usual Primary Arms provides excellent service and quick delivery.
