I have always used a certain mount made in the dead center of somewhere before.
But once I was introduce to ADM there's no going back. The tooling I find to be very well finished. The lack of tools needed or adjustments is a great feature. Also, the ablillity to reverse the levers is of great help. The price is also untouchable The unit below could be found as low as $139.00 ADM Recon with a Leupold Mark 4 seating on top of an LMT MWS.

I have been really happy with the ADM mount I have used. I really like how the clamp on to the receiver.

good mounts and godd price too.
I've been using ADM mounts on my ACOGs for a while and I'm very happy with them. Easy to install/adjust and keep zero every time I remove/reinstall my optics from the gun AD-B1 mount + Compact ACOG TA44-5 
AD-B2 mount + ACOG TA01-NSN 
|
|
The low T1 mounting base: (raises the height of a factory Aimpoint Micro by about 1/8th of an inch or 3mm)
Has the integral recoil lug (like the factory and other mounts) that the Aimpoint Micro body locks into. (lessens recoil forces on the screws) One thing I do like is the full width steel cross slot that the Gen-2 mounts have. the Gen2 mounts (with the black 8-sided screw head) are very nice, and easy to adjust. Definitely really nice. They have a very good clean looking matte black finish, and all the edges are nicely de-burred.

| Just purchased an ADM Recon mount and really like the fit, feel and ease of operation. Not bad price either considering the options. Have not shot it yet but I plan on takin a little walk out back to the range very soon. I am most concerned about return to zero after dismount/mount. Feels rock solid though, so I foresee no issues. Be back soon. |

Have quite a few ADM mounts...
1 ACOG, 2 Recon-X's, 1 Recon, 1 Aimpoint Cantilever, 1 Aimpoint Standard, 2 Surefire Mounts, a couple of the TD VFG's with the ADM QD Mounts and a Bipod Mount. All have been 110%, couldn't be happier with any of them. I've recommended them to several hunting/shooting partners and they've unanimously been well received. FWIW, all of the Recon's have been on/off the rifle at least 5-10 times (I usually pop them off for maintenance) and I've never zero'd any of them after the initial zero. The first one I bought has been on my hunting rig since right after they hit the market, so I'm going to wager that it's been off at least a couple of dozen times and has retained zero from the start. I don't even sweat taking them off any more, I know they'll still be "on" when I need them... Hard to beat (and I do own several competing mounts, like them as well) |

I have a pair of AD-68 mounts now, one with an ML-3 on a 5.56 midlength and the second with a Primary Arms M3 clone on my dedicated .22. They're working out extremely well, rock solid with good RTZ. I went with these because I don't care for the way lower 1/3 is implemented on most mounts, I like the tip of my front post to appear dead center of the RDS or slightly lower when using the irons. I've found most lower 1/3s are actually more like lower 1/5 when used this way.

Where are you finding this EXACT mount? Can anyone on here help out a college guy in tracking down a good deal on one?? |

Can someone explain to me the differance in these two mounts???
They are both listed as the same mount, the ADM Recon 30mm, but one has solid rings and one (like all the others I've seen) are not. http://noveskerifleworks.com/cgi-bin/imcart/display.cgi?item_id=adrecon&cat=161&page=1&search=&since=&status= http://primaryarms.com/product.sc;jsessionid=631D1730742404CD7CF627E8706F1820.qscstrfrnt06?productId=495&categoryId=219 Which should I go with?? |

That's the first solid ring I ever seen on an ADM. That would be the only differance, other than that they are the same mount, it would come down to what your prefrance would be. |

I bought a B2 mount for a compact ACOG and it worked fine. I sold the ACOG and used the same mount with a SOCOM 1/3 riser on an Aimpoint T-1.
And ADM's Customer Service is alright. I lost a mounting screw and they mailed me out a set free of charge. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

DMS-1 in an ADM Recon.
Though no fault of ADM I had to make a minor modification due to the MI rail. Since it does not match up to the mounts I could not get the ADM on the the DMS to the eye relief I wanted. I was faced with two alternatives: 1) get a DD rail (which I didn't have the money for at the time) or 2) mod the mount. I ended up essentially taking just a bit of material off the forewardmost cross pin. This allowed me to bridge the gap between the rail and the upper. I like it and I'd get another. |

It was just the combination of the two plus the DMS-1 that made it necessary to mod, but that's the nature of gun/AR15 tinkering anyway. Had I to do it over again I would definitely get the ReconX. I may get it anyway and use the Recon on another rifle. Hmm. I did just finish a dissipator... |

I do love my ADM mounts. I run a AD-B2 with T-1 CO riser on my SCAR, its a great option because it can be reversed, and the locking lever flipped for a clean, streamlined install when running a reciprocating charging handle on the left side of the weapon. I've been so impressed with this mount, that I recommended it to my brother, who now runs a Recon 30mm on his AR10.

| We just started testing an Insight Technology MRDS mounted on an ADM QD base! We ran it hard, mounted on top of a Mossberg 930 SPX, shooting only slugs for the better part of an 8 hour training day. Within that training day the optic was removed and re-installed 8-10 times! It stayed dead on and zeroed without issue! The Insight MRDS and ADM mount are great together! The ADM QD lever is easy to adjust and even easier to remove and install! Excellent mounts!! |

I ran an AMD mount/Trijicon RMR combo for a short time. The RMR was just to small for my liking so now I have t-1 with an ADM and like it a lot. I have an Aimpoint 3x magnifier. Just waiting on reviews before I jump in and get an ADM for it. My new Tango Down Vert grip (Not the one in the pic) and Bi pod mount also sports ADM's as well. I am an ADM fan for life..

I used an ADM mount to beat the crap out of a Leatherwood CMR. Clamped the mount onto a rail I bolted to the bed of my pickup.
It spent a week like that while I drove my 50 mile per day route at work on roads like this. 
Long story short, I clamped them back onto my AR, the Leatherwood held up like nothing ever happened and the AMD mount returned it to within 1/2 inch of it's previous zero. Not a scientific test, but I'm not a scientist. I am, however, very demanding of my gear. I love that mount. And I trust that scope. |
