Overview
Built for mounting optics on a flattop AR-15, this cantilever scope mount positions the optic forward to help achieve proper eye relief. It uses ADM’s patented QD Auto Lock System for quick attachment and removal, with compatibility for both in-spec and out-of-spec rail systems. The mount is machined from 6061 T6 aluminum and finished in hard coat T3 Mil-Spec anodize in matte black. Its 35mm ring size and 0 MOA configuration make it a straightforward choice for shooters setting up a rifle optic on a modern AR platform.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- Designed specifically for a flattop-style AR-15, so it may not be the right fit for other rifle setups or mounting needs.
- The 2" cantilever and 0 MOA configuration are purpose-built choices, which can be a limitation if your optic setup calls for a different offset or built-in elevation.
- At $240.90, it sits in a premium price range for a scope mount, so buyers should be sure the quick-detach and fit features match their needs.
- The listed model is for 35mm optics, so scope tube size must match exactly to avoid compatibility issues.
