Short answer, yes.
Long answer, just like everything else, you get what you pay for. Granted, I have heard great things about the PEPR mount, but I have heard a couple bad things as well. Personally, I have used Larue and ADM mounts for a lot of optics over the past 6 years and I have never had an issue with them |

I run a Larue 104 with a Nikon M223 2x8. I also shoot about half my ammo with irons, F front sight post and Arms 40L rear. I'm confident when going from irons to scope or visa versa. I only have 1 AR and it gets all the good stuff. A good scope and mount are a good investment in accuracy.

Yes, especially if you expect it to hold zero.

Yes. I have a number of LT mounts on my ARs and they are worth it.

Yes, they are both well made and worth the money. I would also look at Aero Precision (although I don't have any and am making no recommendations as a result) for a more economical option.

Shoot groups at 100 yards plus. With LaRue or ADM and with the cheap knockoff. Remove and replace and repeat groups several times. You'll understand pretty quickly why you pay what you do for LaRue and ADM. Sub MOA return to zero, every time, over and over. Rugged construction you can depend on. Versus junk that might look good, but will not return to zero and will break quickly. Think Leupold Mark 4 vs. NC Star. Or Nightforce vs. BSA.

No experience with ADM, I have heard they make a good mount, but I cannot see myself ever buying a scope mount made by anyone but the good folks at LaRue.

Worth it, yes. I'd put the LRT above the ADM though. Don't hesitate to look at the Bobro. I actually prefer that over the LRT for return to zero.

I had Larue's, sold them. If you'll seldom if ever remove what's the point. Use the money saved on ammo, no thanks necessary
On a side note, there is another well liked shooting forum that I and others frequent, Larue mounts are blasphemy there. Here their spoken of in god-like status. To each their own. Worse case you buy it, decide you don't want/like/need it, put it up on the EE and get your money back, they do hold their value. |

Care to elaborate? I realize there are other quality mounts out there as well, but another "well liked" and reputable shooting forum made up of people who even remotely know what they're talking about - and LaRue mounts are blasphemy there? That makes zero sense at all... |

Yes.
I am not a fan of removing optics to switch between guns (qd mounts), but if that is your thing, it is hard to find a better mount. If you have dedicated optics per weapon, a PEPR is a good mount, albeit heavier and uglier than the better brands.

I would say that yes, they are worth it IF you need the QD feature and will be removing and reattaching regularly. If you will not be taking it off and on then I'd say stick with something cheaper.
I would venture that most that have a magnified optic mounted with a QD mount will rarely, if ever, be taking their scopes off, and the mount is simply there for eye candy and Internet bragging rights. (Btw, I'm not against those who buy expensive cool looking gear just to take pics of and show off to the internet and their friends. I think that those who get their panties twisted because of this are morons. Buy your guns for whatever reason you want) |

Fixed mounts of equal quality to LaRue or ADM QD mounts are not significantly less expensive but they are significantly less flexible in ease of removal. |

Im sorry , you lost me at "Primary Arms in a Larue Mount".....
Yes, LaRue and American Arms are worth the money, but for what you want, look at the Burris PEPR w QD. Hell, I use one on my big 308 AR <----- And it works great I save the Larue for duty use and high dollar glass. |
