30Mm 20 Moa Bolt Action Mount Black

The American Defense Manufacturing 30mm 20 MOA bolt action mount is a low-profile scope mount purpose-built for fastening high-magnification glass to your bolt gun. If you're running a serious optic on a precision rifle—whether for long-range hunting, competition, or bench shooting—this mount delivers the repeatable zero and rock-solid hold you need. The 20 MOA rail pitch is engineered for distance: it tilts your scope's reticle downward, giving you extra elevation adjustment on the turret without losing zero in close. For shooters who plan to stretch shots past 500 yards, that extra travel means fewer holds and more confidence in the dial.

Built from 6061 T6 aluminum and finished in hard coat Mil-Spec Type III anodized black, the AD-RECON-SL is precision machined to exacting tolerances. AMD's Patented QD Auto Lock Lever system is the standout here: it accommodates both in-spec and slightly out-of-spec Picatinny rails, so you get a secure lock whether your receiver is perfect or runs tight. The mount is stripped of frills—no integrated eye relief, no picatinny slots—just a straight, dependable platform for your 30mm tube.

This is American Defense's lowest-profile bolt action option, meaning your scope sits close to the action and barrel, which translates to a lower, more natural cheek weld and better handling. That geometry matters on lightweight hunters and precision rifles where every ounce and inch counts.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a 20 MOA bolt action scope mount used for?

The 20 MOA rail pitch is designed for long-range shooting. It tilts your scope's reticle downward, increasing the elevation adjustment available on your turret. This lets you dial precise shots at extended distance without using hold-over marks or running out of vertical travel on your scope.

Will this mount work with out-of-spec or tight Picatinny rails?

Yes. The Patented QD Auto Lock Lever system is engineered to lock securely onto both properly spec'd and slightly out-of-spec rail systems, so you get a repeatable hold even if your receiver's rail isn't perfect.

What size scope tube does this mount accept?

This mount is designed for 30mm scope tubes, which are the most common diameter for modern rifle optics.

Is this the lowest profile bolt action mount American Defense makes?

Yes. The AD-RECON-SL is AMD's lowest-profile option for bolt action rifles, bringing your scope closer to the receiver for a lower cheek weld and more compact setup.
