American Defense AD-RECON-SL 34mm Quick-Release Scope Mount - Precision Optics Mounting Solution$215.66
Availability: In Stock
The American Defense Recon Medium scope mount is a precision-engineered solution for mounting optics on flat-top AR-15 platforms where standard height won't cut it. Whether you're running a laser system that needs clearance or you prefer a higher cheek weld for heads-up shooting angles, this cantilever mount positions your glass exactly where you need it. The 2-inch offset throws your scope forward for proper eye relief while keeping everything rock solid—purpose-built for shooters who refuse to compromise on sight picture or accuracy.
Built from 6061 T6 aluminum and finished in hard coat T3 Mil-Spec anodize, the Recon Medium delivers the durability you'd expect from a quality mount. The patented QD Auto Lock Lever system is engineered to lock tight on both in-spec and out-of-spec Picatinny rails, so you don't need to stress about rail tolerances. Adjustment is dead simple—your finger or a flat blade screwdriver is all you need, no proprietary tools required. The lever itself can be oriented to lock toward the front or rear of the rifle, giving you flexibility in setup.
This is the mid-height version in American Defense's Recon line, hitting a sweet spot for most AR-15 builds. Centerline height runs 1.64 inches with 30mm rings or 1.7 inches with 34mm rings, giving you the elevation you're after without going extreme. It's the kind of mount that earns its place in your rifle—precision machined, rock-solid, and ready for whatever you throw at it.
