I just picked up a refurbished (hopefully that's not a sin here) full factory warranty Bushnell HDMR 3.5-21 scope with Horus H59 reticle at our local Bushnell store for $860 today after taxes. I'm putting it on my GAP-10.

I'm looking for scope mounting recommendations! I usually go with the ADM Recon QD mounts and they seem to work great, but should I go with something different on this one? What would you guys recommend? It doesn't necessarily need to be a QD setup.

While I like the super high dollar systems, I'd like to keep whatever I purchase around the $200 or less amount. I'm undecided on whether I should go with typical rings or go with something like the ADM?

Thanks for any input.
 
Thank you for the reply. I like the cheek weld and eye relief that the ADM Recon mounts give me on my other similar rifles.

Finally am at the point where I won't have any need to share or swap out optics between rifles. This one today should round out everything aside from getting an Aimpoint on one of my AR's. So removal constantly isn't necessary.
 
I actually just tonight removed my SWFA 5-20x50 from a AD-Recon 20moa QD mount on my P308 due to how high it was. Shooting from the bench it was perfect but was too high and uncomfortable shooting from prone. I went back to the Nightforce UL Ti 30mm 1.125" rings which really gets the scope down making for a much more comfortable position when shooting prone.

A few months ago I replaced my M.R.R. Tactical handguard with the M-rail handguard which has the removable top picatinny rail so you can use lower rings. Without this rail I wouldn't have been able to use my 1.125" rings.

I got my Nightforce ultralight unimount that was a demo model (i.e. brand new) for $216. Hard to beat that. Used ones often go for under $200. I've also got an Aadmount I really like, but also a little over your budget if new ($250ish) and harder to find used.
