American Defense AD-RECON-M 30mm Scope Mount – 1.63" NV Height – 2" Offset – Tactical Lever
The American Defense AD-RECON-M-30-TAC (UPC: 818503017100) is a mid-height, precision-engineered cantilever scope mount designed specifically for the AR-15 platform. The "M" designation identifies this as a medium-height mount, providing a 1.63-inch centerline height. This "NV" (Night Vision) height is purpose-built to clear top-mounted laser aiming devices (like the PEQ-15 or NGAL) and to provide a more ergonomic, "heads-up" shooting posture that is ideal for use with night vision goggles or gas masks. The 2-inch forward cantilever provides optimal eye relief for high-power variable optics (LPVOs) while allowing the objective housing to clear the rifle's handguard.
This model is equipped with dual Tactical QD Auto Lock™ Levers, which feature oversized, textured surfaces for positive manipulation with wet or gloved hands. Precision-machined from 6061-T6 aluminum and finished in a MIL-SPEC Type III hard coat anodize, the AD-RECON-M ensures a repeatable zero even after repeated attachment and removal. The patented QD system is fully adjustable without proprietary tools, allowing it to lock securely onto both in-spec and out-of-spec Picatinny rails. Proudly made in the USA, this mount is the premier choice for professional operators and precision shooters who require a robust, mid-height interface for their 30mm optics in 2026.
Includes: (1) AD-RECON-M 30mm Mount with Dual Tactical QD Levers and Mounting Hardware.
