The American Defense AD-RECON-SL QD Scope Mount 30mm Super Low is an American Defense Mfg. one-piece quick-detach scope mount, part number AD-RECON-SL-30-STD, with 30 mm rings, no forward offset and a 1.152in / 29.3 mm centreline, weighing about 8 oz. Cant is 0 MOA and it clamps with ADM's patented Auto Lock quick-detach lever, which self-adjusts to in-spec and out-of-spec Picatinny rails without tools and returns to zero when refitted.
How It Compares
Super Low is the point of the SL: with no cantilever offset and a 29.3 mm centreline it sets the scope as close to the bore as the objective will allow, which suits a bolt-action or straight-pull with a low comb far more than a cantilever does. The AD-RECON-SL in 34mm is the same mount for the other tube size. Where the action needs the scope set further back, the cantilever AD-RECON cantilever mount or the 3in-offset AD-RECON-X extended cantilever mount are the right answer. Compare the full rifle scope mount range and American Defense red dot mounts.
Ideal For

- Straight-pull rifles used for target and gallery rifle shooting
