Hey guys I was just wondering how your ADM mounts were holding up. I intend to order one sometime soon to give it a try, but am concerned as with any new item on the market. If anyone could give me a longer follow up that would be great.

To date, the hardest used item is the scope mount on my AR10, 500 rounds, no issues. --and the gun as well--

5K rounds on my 10" SBR since the addition of the Aimpoint T1 Micro and it's holding up very well. I've removed it about 20 times to check for zero shift and can't shoot well enough to tell if it has indeed shifted or not. I used this set up for the last two days of my last class (Magpul Advanced Carbine 3day in November). I was hitting 9"x12" steel at 125yds easily offhand on the last day, was hitting with my Glock 17 as well.

I have three of the Recon-X mounts as well and have removed the mounts from the guns and remounted and haven't noticed a zero shift. Actually in the fall I shot a rifle only match in PA and placed 2nd in Tactical Optics and won $300.00 so I'd say the gun/scope/ & ADM mount were working very well. The loose nut behind the trigger could have done his job a little better, but I wasn't really disappointed.

I'm quite happy with the quality/performance of my ADM mounts.

Im sure I will be denounced for this, but they are as good as the other guys IMO.

As someone who's actually tried both I 100% agree. They're quite different from one another but really just equal in quality. Currently my favorite is Bobro. Quite different than than the other two but hey who said the best available was limited to 2 brands?

The ADM Mounts I have and use regularly are SUPERB.

With all the disinformation and censorship going on it's really no wonder.

At the same price, I would take a LaRue just because of the lack of sharp edges, and the free crap that comes with them...

That said, I have an H-1 and TS30 in ADM mounts - same as above, extremely happy with them.
Ignore the hype back and forth - LT, ADM, GG&G, and Bobro all make great stuff.

I'm still running an early ADM Cantilever mount with my Aimpoint ML2, as well as a newer version on a different rig. No problems to report. They have both been taken off and on numerous times and maintained zero. I consider ADM to be a solid choice.

Basically the exact same situation as me, although I haven't fired the rifle with the newer mount yet.

The older mount has a paltry 1200-1500 rounds on it, but it's functioned fine in that time and has returned to zero at 50 yards when removed and remounted. I did not check to see if it moved at 200 though.

My ADM Scope mount been on my FAL para for a good year, 500-600 rounds so far with out any problems, I have "RUN" the FAL in a few classes between my regualr carbine and demo the scope return to zero to the classes. everytime, the mount return to zero without any problem. This is also the first generation style mount.

I did however had a chance at Angeles range to ping the steel out to 600yards, with the scope removed and remounted. I was still able to hit out to 600 yards.
