  • Lowest mount offered by American Defense Manufacturing

  • Hard coat T3 Mil-Spec anodized finish

Considerations & Trade-offs

  • This is a straight scope mount with no built-in eye relief, so optic placement must be set by the rifle and scope setup rather than by the mount itself.
  • As the lowest mount in the line, it may not suit setups that need additional height for clearance or a more elevated optic position.
  • The 0 MOA configuration is a fixed choice, so it is best suited to rifles and optics intended for that setup rather than for users wanting built-in cant.
  • The QD Auto Lock Lever system is designed to accommodate both in-spec and out-of-spec rail systems, but fit should still be verified on the specific rifle before use.
