Poor ring alingment (06/03/2018)

As far as the QD AutoLock system goes, this is a nice design. It allows for easy, tool-less adjustment, and a very positive grip on the rail. Once set, your scope is not going anywhere!

The rings are another story however. Thankfully I decided to run the 30mm lap through the rings. At first these rings only showed approximately 10-15% contact after lapping. I could not believe how out of alignment the bores were between these rings. It took between 2-3 hours of lapping, with 800 grit compound, to bring these into an 80-90% surface contact.

Good scope mounting system (18/03/2011)

Used this mount to attach a Nightforce scope to LWRC REPR. The scope fit in the mount like a glove and was easy to install on my rifle. First shot at the range with no bore sight and scope set to factory zero was one inch to the left of bulls eye at 100 yards. To me this meant mount was true to the top rail and all equipment did their job. The mount also added a nice aesthetic look with the open side ring design. I am very pleased.

Outstanding product (21/01/2012)

I Own 2 of these and would not put my high dollar glass on an AR platform w/o one. If you spend $500+ on yout optics, or need a quick change option you owe it to yourself to install a ring platform that will perform along w/ your scope. It's tactical/sport application is 2nd to none! In my experience it will return to Zero when/if removed for a different optics setup or a need to use backup sights. They are a bit pricey, but American Made Gold Standard product im my opinion. Quality that matters!!

Excellent Patrol Rifle Mount (18/02/2012)

I run our Department Patrol Rifle Squad. Our officers are running personally owned Bushmaster, Daniel Defense, Colt, S&W, and Armalite carbines. I used an eotech and magnifier for two years, but recently mounted a Leupold 1-4X SPR Patrol scope using the Ad Recon mount (I can adjust the scope to my 50-year-old eyes). The mounting was simple. Zeroing was PERFECT. Shot a group, removed the scope twice, shooting it after remounting. It returns to zero, FLAWLESSLY. It is light and simple to use. What else is there to say. Well worth the price.

easy to use (08/04/2012)

so far so good, returned to zero made in the usa is always a plus.

Worth the money (15/06/2012)

I originally started out with a PEPR mount I purchased long ago. Although it worked well, it takes a tool for removal. I recently purchased a Sig 716 carbine, I wanted good reliable equipment on it. I purchsed the AD Recon mount and a Leupold VX-R Patrol 1.25-4 scope. Everything mounted up perfectly with no rear iron sight removal. So far, it holds zero and removes easy if properly adjusted.

Not worth it (07/02/2014)

tried this mount on 4 different rails and it fit none !
Not much more to say cant use it big waist of money

Great Mount (19/12/2015)

Works great, very solid. Mount is adjustable, by pushing in on the QD levers when moved to a neutral position and then rotating the screws which push out on the opposite side you can increase or decrease the width of the attaching surface, since not all rails are created to the same specs. Overall a great product.

Absolute Junk (10/07/2017)

I am a professional end user who counts on his equipment to save my life and the lives of others. That being said, this mount isn't even of sufficient quality for a recreational shooter. The screws holes strip with MINIMAL torque being applied, and the QD system is a very poor design. I would expect FAR higher quality from a mount in this price range. On a more positive note, Brownells is always easy and professional to deal with regarding returns.

Expesnsive but worth it (30/12/2011)

I have a M1A Scout. I thought I would try out the "scout type" setup. I realized that putting a forward mounted scope or red dot was a waste of a the rifle's performance. The mount allowed me to use the existing pictinny rail and mount a full size scope. Looks good and I think it will last the lifetime of the rifle.

Great Mount for my AR (18/05/2012)

I used this to mount my Leupold Mark AR scope to my .223 AR. After zeroing in at the range I removed it to transport the guns home. Next range trip, put it back onto my AR and point of impact and point of aim were still right on! Great product, well manufactured and rugged. Buying another for my wifes AR!

Excellent Mount (26/07/2012)

This is the 4th mount I have bought for an AR-15 and it is hands down the best. No other mount even comes close.

Not a great mount (21/12/2012)

If you are looking for a mount that will hold zero after removing and replacing your optics, this is not the one to buy. The locking levers are loose and inconsistent, even after adjustment. I could not get a consistent interface with rail and mount, and the locking levers would swivel. Each time I put it back on I got a different amount of tension. If you are just leaving the mount on your rifle, and not removing it, this will work OK. If you're switching your optics, do yourself a favor and spend the extra $20 for a GG&G or Larue. I will be.

Extreme Quality (11/09/2013)

Put this on an AR build....WOW Looks amazing...Solidly built....duplicates zero. Worth every penny Eye relief is perfect for Nikon 223 scope I put on the rifle. Centered the scope in the rings and it was dead on.I love when a scope sits centered in the rings front to back...it looks great and is a rock solid mount then. I thought it would probably be a little trial and error but NO... it was built exact. After sight-in, I was impressed by how easy it was to remove the scope and drop an EOTech QD on for pins and plates at closer ranges. When I threw the scope back on, it was supremely close to zero. I will never say that anything is able to duplicate zero to a sixteenth of an inch....too many variables involved with removing, handling, and reattaching....but it was almost exact. Can't say enough good about it. If you can afford this mount for your build by all means this is the one to buy. I did tons of research before spending this kind of money to attach a scope to my rifle and this is it. Perfect! Thanks Brownells. Completely satisfied with the product....will buy another on next build..RRA Varmint-20 in the works now Smith M&P completed thanks to this mount.

Great mount (17/10/2014)

This mount was used on an SR-762 rifle for a Burris C4 3-9x40 scope. I have removed and re-mounted the scope 2 times, and the rifle is still zeroed @ 100yds. The height allows the scope to just barely clear my BUIS that came with the rifle. Wish I had the tactical levers to make getting it off a little easier, but this mount is solid.
