American Defense 1'' 0 Moa Bolt Action Mount Black

The American Defense 1" 0 MOA Bolt Action Mount is a low-profile scope mount built for shooters who demand rock-solid optics mounting on their precision rifles. Purpose-built for bolt action platforms, this mount positions your glass as close to the receiver as possible—a critical advantage when you're running a powerful optic and need a comfortable, repeatable cheek weld. If you're setting up a long-range hunting rifle, a tactical bolt gun, or a match rifle and you want your scope mounted at the lowest practical height, this is the foundation you need.

American Defense Manufacturing machines every mount from 6061-T6 aluminum, then applies hard coat Type III Mil-Spec anodize for durability that stands up to field use, storage, and the occasional bump in the truck. The 0 MOA configuration means the mount itself introduces no vertical angle—ideal for shooters who want their scope's internal adjustments to do all the work, or for those running a barreled action that's already canted to your preferred zero angle.

The standout feature here is American Defense's patented QD Auto Lock Lever system. This isn't your grandfather's scope ring: the lever accommodates both in-spec and out-of-spec Picatinny rails, so you get a dependable, repeatable mount whether your receiver rail is factory-tight or has the slightest variation. Once locked, your scope stays put through recoil and handling. And if you need to remove or swap optics, the quick-detach mechanism lets you do it without gunsmithing—then return to zero with confidence.

Whether you're glassing prairie for distance or setting up a suppressed precision bolt rifle, this mount delivers the low, solid platform serious shooters expect from American Defense.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this mount fit my bolt action rifle with a Picatinny rail?

Yes. The AD-RECON-SL is designed for bolt action rifles and features the QD Auto Lock Lever system to work with both in-spec and out-of-spec Picatinny rails, so it's flexible enough to handle most modern receivers.

What does 0 MOA mean?

0 MOA means the mount itself has no built-in vertical angle. Your scope's internal adjustments will handle elevation correction, or if your barreled action is pre-canted, the mount mounts flat. This keeps things simple and gives you full confidence in your scope's ranging capability.

Can I remove my scope and remount it later without losing zero?

The quick-detach Auto Lock Lever system is designed for repeatable mounts and dismounts, so if you're swapping optics regularly or using QD rings, you can expect confidence in return-to-zero. Always verify your zero after any equipment change, as best practice.

Is this the absolute lowest mount American Defense makes?

Yes. The AD-RECON-SL is American Defense's lowest-profile mount offering, ideal for shooters who prioritize minimal scope height.
