American Defense AD-RECON 30mm Scope Mount - Black, Tactical Levers, 0 MOA - Precision Optics Mount
American Defense
The American Defense AD-SCOUT-S 30mm scope mount is a precision rifle optic mount purpose-built for shooters who demand repeatability and durability without compromise. This standard-lever mount features American Defense's patented QD Auto Lock System—a quick-detach mechanism that locks your scope down securely and returns it to zero when remounted, so you can swap optics between rifles or stow your scope safely without losing your zero. Available in black finish with 0 MOA elevation, the AD-SCOUT-S is engineered for hunters, precision shooters, and tactical users who need a mount that works the first time and keeps working through years of hard use.
Built to the exacting standards American Defense is known for, this 30mm mount combines precise manufacturing with long-term reliability—you're getting a piece of kit that won't loosen or shift when you need it most. Whether you're mounting a hunting scope on a backcountry rifle, setting up a range gun, or running a duty platform, the repeatable QD system eliminates the guesswork and gives you confidence in your setup. The standard lever provides solid engagement without breaking the bank on premium aftermarket features you may not need.
American Defense was built on the principle of delivering tools that do the job right. The AD-SCOUT-S carries that philosophy forward—durable, honest construction with no marketing fluff. This is a scope mount that serves the shooter, not the other way around.

Yes—the AD-SCOUT-S is designed for 30mm tube scopes. Confirm your optic has a 30mm main tube before mounting.
0 MOA means the mount sits flat with no built-in angle. This is ideal if you want true co-witness height or plan to use the mount on multiple rifles with different zero requirements. It also keeps your reticle level and simplifies sight-in calculations.
Yes—that's the core benefit of the patented QD Auto Lock System. The mount indexes securely each time you reattach, returning your scope to its previous point of aim, so you can confidently swap optics or stow your scope between outings.
The standard lever engages and disengages the QD system by hand, with no tools required. Flip the lever to lock the scope in place or release it for removal.
