The American Defense AD-RECON 1 Inch Cantilever Scope Mount, Standard Height is an American Defense Mfg. cantilever quick-detach scope mount, with 1 inch (25.4mm) rings at standard height on ADM's patented Auto Lock quick-detach lever, which self-adjusts to in-spec and out-of-spec Picatinny rails without tools and returns to zero when refitted. It is machined from 6061-T6 aluminum with a Type III hardcoat finish and made in the USA.
How It Compares
The AD-RECON is the full-size cantilever: the rings sit forward of the clamp so a scope can be set far enough back on a semi-automatic action to give proper eye relief. Other options in the range include AD-RECON 30mm standard height, AD-RECON 30mm medium height, AD-RECON 30mm high height. For a lighter mount in the same pattern see the AD-DELTA-C lightweight cantilever mount; for a rear-set one-piece mount with no offset the AD-RECON-SL super low mount; and for a longer 3in reach the AD-RECON-X extended cantilever mount.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which scope tube does this mount take?
It takes a 1 inch (25.4mm) scope tube.
What rail does this mount fit?
It fits a MIL-STD-1913 Picatinny rail. The Auto Lock lever self-adjusts to both in-spec and out-of-spec rails, so it clamps correctly on a wider range of receivers and handguards than a fixed-tension mount.
Does this mount return to zero after removal?
Yes. It uses American Defense Mfg.'s patented Auto Lock quick-detach lever, which self-adjusts to the rail and returns the optic to zero when refitted, so it can be taken off for travel or cleaning and put straight back on.
What height does this mount give?
This is the standard-height version of the AD-RECON. American Defense also lists the AD-RECON in other heights and ring sizes, so pick the height that clears your objective bell and suits your cheek weld.
What are TAC levers on this mount?
This version uses American Defense's standard levers. A TAC low-profile lever version of the AD-RECON is also available.
