ADM AD-RECON-SL30MOA30STDFDE: AD-RECON-SL 30MOA 30mm FDE Mount

The ADM AD-RECON-SL 30MOA 30mm FDE Mount AD-RECON-SL30MOA30STDFDE is a high-quality scope mount designed for precision rifles. ADM AD-RECON-SL30MOA30STDFDE features a 30MOA cant for extended range shooting and is built to accommodate 30mm scope tubes. The mount is finished in Flat Dark Earth (FDE) for a tactical look and improved durability. Its low-profile SL (Straight Lever) design ensures minimal height over bore, making it ideal for a consistent cheek weld and improved shooting ergonomics. The mount uses ADM's patented QD Auto Lock system for secure, repeatable mounting on Picatinny rails.

The American Defense AD-RECON-SL is a low-profile scope mount, similar to the AD-RECON-S, designed specifically for mounting high-power optics on bolt-action rifles, M1A/M14s, and Ruger 10/22s. It’s ideal for rifles that feature an optics rail directly over the action and lack an extended handguard over the barrel.

As the lowest mount offered by American Defense, the American Defense AD-RECON-SL Mount provides a minimal height profile while maintaining strength and precision. It features a straight mounting surface with no built-in eye relief, making it well-suited for fixed-position optics.

Constructed from 6061-T6 aluminum and finished with a Type III hardcoat Mil-Spec anodize, this mount is built to withstand demanding conditions. It also incorporates ADM’s patented QD Auto Lock™ Lever system, ensuring a secure, repeatable lockup on both in-spec and out-of-spec Picatinny rails.

Available with standard or Tac QD levers, and offered in configurations with 0 MOA or 20 MOA of built-in elevation, the AD-RECON-SL is a versatile, reliable choice for low-profile precision optics mounting.
