Midwest Industries QD 30mm Scope Mount with 20 MOA Elevation MI-QD30SM-20MOA

The Midwest Industries QD 30mm scope mount with 20 MOA elevation is a quick-detach optic solution built for rifles that demand precision and speed. If you're running a 30mm tube scope and need the ability to mount and remount without losing zero—whether for backup optics, transitioning between rifles, or tactical workflows—this mount delivers tool-free repeatability in a compact, durable package. The 20 MOA built-in elevation offset suits long-range hunting and precision shooting setups where you're dialing extended distances.

What sets this mount apart is the execution of the QD lever itself. Midwest engineered one of the smoothest quick-detach mechanisms available, with a multi-faceted adjustment nut that lets you dial in the exact clamping tension you need without stripping or scarring your rail. No special tools required—everything adjusts by hand. The mount is precision-machined from 6061 aluminum, hard-coat anodized for corrosion resistance and durability in the field, and weighs just 8.4 ounces, so it won't bloat your rifle's overall weight. The critical spec here is repeatability: this is designed and manufactured to maintain return-to-zero performance across repeated detach-and-remount cycles, which is the whole point of going QD.

Ring geometry accommodates scopes with objectives up to 56mm, giving you flexibility across modern tactical and hunting glass. The 1.5" height places your scope at standard cheek-weld height for AR and conventional bolt guns alike. Whether you're setting up a precision rifle, a backup optic solution, or need the flexibility of a detachable scope system, this mount handles the job without compromise.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this QD mount fit my scope and rifle setup?

The mount accepts 30mm scope tubes and works with objectives up to 56mm. It's designed to work with standard Picatinny rails. Check that your scope is a 30mm tube and your rifle has a compatible rail before ordering.

What's the advantage of the 20 MOA elevation offset?

The 20 MOA built-in elevation gives you extra upward adjustment range, which is useful for long-distance hunting or precision shooting where you're dialing to reach targets at extended range. It means you won't run out of elevation adjustment on your scope's turret.

Is this mount truly repeatable after I take it off and put it back on?

Yes—the mount is precision-machined specifically to maintain return-to-zero performance across repeated detach-and-remount cycles. That's the core design intent. The smooth QD lever and adjustment mechanism are built to deliver consistent results.

Do I need tools to adjust or use this mount?

No. The adjustment nut and QD lever are fully adjustable by hand. The multi-faceted adjustment nut lets you set the exact clamping tension you need without any special tools.
