There are a lot of optic mounts on the market for AR15s. Some are quick detach with a promise to return to zero. Some are bolt on with either nuts or allen/torx head bolts to lock them into place. Unless you really need tool less removal I have come to prefer a well done “non QD” mount. The AADMOUNT is in my mind the most solid mount on the market.
It is not “quick detach” so to speak but it can be taken off quickly by loosening the torx head bolts and it does return to zero when put back on. I have come to trust this mount more so than all other as it just works and has never became loose on me. I have been running a 30mm AADMOUNT for 2 years or so and it has held up to all sorts of abuse.
The AADMOUNT is just a very clean design, no levers or nuts protruding, It has a lot of surface area to clamp both to the rail and to the scope. The wider the contact point the better. It also has 3 bars that lock into the crossslots of the picatinny rail to further lock it into place. It is machined very well, the edges are nicely radiused and the anodizing is perfect. Another cool feature is the built in anti cant bubble. This helps not only with shooting long range but helps when mounting the scope to make sure it is level. The mount weighs 8.7oz in the 30mm version (not sure what the 34 is) and has a built in 20MOA slope for long range shooting.
You can buy much cheaper one piece mounts but this one just screams “quality”. I personally wouldn’t use a $75 chinese made mount on a highend AR with an expensive optic. Sure, it may work fine or the crappy bolt snaps, or it marks up your nice scope. Plus, it would just be wrong! Your friends would stop talking to you and you wouldn’t get far with the hot chicks from the gun range. Do yourself a favor and buy American quality for God’s sake. You earned it brother.
