AD Recon-SW QD scope mount, 35mm, 20 MOA

1. Superior Monoblock Design: This mount features a single-piece construction, offering significantly greater rigidity and alignment integrity compared to two-piece ring setups. The monoblock design ensures your optic remains perfectly aligned with the bore, crucial for maintaining pinpoint accuracy, especially in demanding tactical scenarios and competitive shooting.

2. Integrated 20 MOA Cant: The built-in 20 MOA forward cant provides essential additional elevation adjustment for your scope. This feature is particularly beneficial for long-range engagements, allowing shooters to zero their rifles at greater distances without running out of internal elevation adjustment on their optic. It is a critical advantage for hunters and precision shooters.

3. Patented Quick Detach System: Equipped with American Defense's renowned QD Auto Lock Lever System, this mount allows for rapid, tool-free attachment and detachment from your Picatinny rail. The system guarantees 100% return-to-zero functionality when re-mounted, making it ideal for situations requiring quick reconfigurations or transport without losing your established zero.

4. Robust 6061-T6 Aluminium Construction: Precision CNC-machined from aerospace-grade 6061-T6 aluminium, the Recon-SW mount delivers exceptional strength and durability while keeping weight to a minimum. The hard-coat anodised finish provides superior resistance to corrosion, abrasion, and harsh environmental elements, ensuring reliable performance in any conditions faced by professional shooters and demanding hunters.

ABOUT THE AD RECON-SW QD SCOPE MOUNT

The American Defense Recon-SW Quick Detach (QD) scope mount stands out as a high-performance solution for precision shooters and hunters, engineered for unparalleled stability and accuracy. Its distinctive monoblock construction ensures superior rigidity and optical alignment, which is critical for maintaining zero, especially in demanding conditions and for long-range engagements. A key feature is the integrated 20 MOA forward cant, providing crucial additional elevation adjustment for your scope, thereby extending the practical shooting distance without maxing out the optic's internal adjustment range. Designed primarily for AR-style platforms, its cantilevered form optimises eye relief and promotes a natural shooting posture. Crafted from high-strength 6061-T6 aluminium with a durable hard-coat anodised finish, this mount withstands harsh environments. The patented QD Auto Lock Lever System allows for rapid and tool-free attachment with 100% return-to-zero, making it a reliable choice for hunters who require consistent performance after transport or setup changes. It features a central recoil lug for enhanced stability, a design choice which makes it incompatible with two-piece Picatinny rails.

MAIN FEATURES

• Tube Diameter: 35 mm. Designed for scopes with a 35 mm main tube, accommodating a wide range of popular tactical and hunting optics.

• Elevation Cant: Integrated 20 MOA (minute of angle) forward cant. This crucial feature provides additional elevation adjustment, significantly benefiting long-range precision shooting by allowing the shooter to zero at greater distances without exhausting the scope's internal elevation travel.

• Compatibility: Engineered for use with Picatinny rails (MIL-STD-1913). The mount features a central recoil lug for exceptional stability, but this design makes it incompatible with rifles featuring two-piece Picatinny rails (e.g., Merkel RX Helix, some Sabatti Rover models, Steel Action rifles), where the rail itself is split.

• Material: Crafted from high-strength, aerospace-grade 6061-T6 aluminium through precision CNC machining. This ensures robust durability while minimising overall weight, complemented by a hard-coat Type III MIL-SPEC anodisation for superior corrosion and abrasion resistance.

• Lever System: Features American Defense's patented QD Auto Lock Lever System, enabling rapid, tool-free attachment and detachment from the rail. This system is renowned for its 100% return-to-zero capability when re-mounted, essential for quick reconfigurations in the field.

• Weight: Approximately 230 grams. This provides an excellent balance of strength and reduced load, making it suitable for demanding applications without adding excessive bulk.

• Ring Screws: Six Torx screws per ring ensure secure scope retention. The recommended torque for reliable fastening is 1.7-2.8 Nm.

• Clamping Screws: Two QD levers secure the mount to the rail. The recommended torque for the rail clamping screws is 2.3-5 Nm for optimal recoil resistance and stability.

WARRANTY
