The American Defense AD-RECON is a rugged quick-detach cantilever scope mount for rifles needing a forward optic position — this version in 30mm rings at medium height. The cantilever offset sets correct eye relief for variable-power optics on Picatinny rails, and ADM's patented Auto Lock QD lever system gives fast install/removal with a secure lockup and repeatable return-to-zero.
Machined from 6061-T6 aluminium with a Type III hardcoat anodised finish, it's strong yet lightweight, and made in the USA.
Option: 30mm Medium Height — also available in 30mm Standard, 30mm High, 1 Inch Standard, 34mm Medium and TAC-lever versions in 30mm / 34mm.
