I had already verified this mount returns to zero when removed and put back on the gun (WC 6.8 SPC 18" Recon)

cool, but how's this for a test?

Twice I have removed mount from the gun, and the scope from the mount and put it all back together...
When I went to check zero, it was dead on.
I did this on yesterday evening and checked zero by doing a head shot at 250 yards on a steel target, it has a 6x6 "head" First shot, DINK! and down it went.

Picked a small rock on the berm at 250 yards and nailed it.

Moved out to 500 yards and was hitting a 12x12 steel plate every time

That's very impressive to be able to completely remove the rings and put it all back together and still RTZ!
That means very tight manufacturing tolerances for American Defense.

Pretty impressive if you ask me...

I've noticed that the rings of my AD mounts really fit like gloves around the scope tube, which suggests some precision metalwork by AD (and Zeiss).
 
Re: American Defense AR scope mount: thumbs up

I run 3 AD mounts right now.

AD-Recon-SW (super wide) with an IOR 3.5-18x50 ffp on my 6.5 Grendel
AD-Recon-X with a Trijicon Accupoint 1-4x
Ad-Recon-S with a Falcon Menace 4-14x ffp

Great mounts. Every bit as good as Larue at a much better price.
