Overview

Built for mounting high-power optics on a flattop-style AR-15, this extended scope mount is aimed at shooters who need more eye relief than a standard setup provides. Its 3-inch offset gives the mount the longest built-in eye relief in the ADM line, making it a practical option when optic positioning is critical. The design also uses a QD Auto Lock Lever system to work with both in-spec and out-of-spec rail systems. For hunters and field shooters setting up a rifle around larger glass, it offers a purpose-driven solution without unnecessary complexity.

Considerations & Trade-offs

  • Designed specifically for a flattop-style AR-15, so it is not a general-purpose mount for other setups.
  • The 3" offset and extended cantilever are intended to increase eye relief, which may add length to the overall mounting footprint.
  • It is described as a mount for high power glass, so it is more specialized than a compact, low-profile option.
  • The QD Auto Lock Lever system is built to work with both in-spec and out-of-spec rail systems, but that compatibility focus may be unnecessary if your rail is already standard.
