Would this mount be GTG on this Leupold scope? If not any suggestions on what American Defense mount would work. I already have a Leupold Mark AR 3-9 but I don't know if there would be a size difference between the two scopes.

Which specific ADM mount are you considering?  Which scope are you now trying to mount?  You probably want the Recon with 1" ring size for the Mark, AR, but the VX-R scopes have a 30mm main tube and need a mount with 30mm rings.  If you have a 30mm version mount,  you can still use it with a 1" scope by using ring inserts.

A VX-R will NOT fit in that mount.  You need the 30mm version.  Same mount, otherwise, but must be the 30mm version.

Yes, that is the 30mm version.  I do agree that you can find that mount from many vendors that  will cost you les and ship faster.  Shop around.  Amazon is your friend, which I think has it for about $162.  Be sure to verify that it is the 30mm version before finalizing your order.
