What's the best/best deal on AR scope mount? Need one in 30mm....

Burris pepr?

ADM American Defense Recon series. They're not cheap but nobody makes a tougher QD mount.

You can pay more for a Larue or others but you'll just be wasting money.

If I had to choose a second and third place (for less money) it would be DNZ and Aero (I would lap the Aero since they have had issues with out of roundness due to the single-side clamping force design)

I only use Aero now. I have no need or want for QD, and the price/performance fits my needs perfectly.
And, they are 2 oz. instead of half a pound.

I've had a Pepr. Good mount, but I felt it was a bit big and "clunky" for my taste.
 
+1 for the aero mount.

If you need QD, then the ADM is the way to go.
 
Just FYI my half-pound ADM Recon may have helped the top of the reciever stable from going into orbit during the .300 into .223 kaboom, and when I reused the mount with the optic without changing anything, the windage was off 5 clicks on a new gun. :D
 
the best deal and lightest weight is the aero mount if you don't plan on taking your scope on and off.

I don't know if I plan on taking it on/off....

If I'm shooting zombies and the scope malfunctions....and I need to get to my iron back up sights...I can't yell timeout.. while I go locate a screwdriver to dismount the scope.....lol

I have 4 ADM mounts, never had an issue with them. While they aren’t the lightest or the cheapest, they seem to be very well built.
 
You guys mentioning aero mounts are making feel good about my choice. I have several of those now. I really like them.
 
You Know guys...this thread would be better with PICS of your mounts and setups..

Offset Magpul irons - for maximum operator status
 
ADM mounts on my 5.56 with Trijicon Accupower and 6.5 Grendel with Vortex HST, and even a ADM mount for my MRO on the .300 upper.

Not a mount, just rings, but they're rock solid.

I ponied up for the ADM extended recon QD mount for my newest. My inner cheapskate cringed, but after spending the dosh for a high end scope & a good trigger, my OCD wouldn't let me cheap out on the mount.

ADM is a great, middle of the pack mount. I used them, have used them, and will use them. You will be happy. But it ain't high-end; truth in advertising, 99% of people don't need the high-end Scalarworks or Badger Ordnance.
 
Bobro for me.
The ADM mounts with their vertical split ring design cause the tube to rotate as you tighten the screws, real PITA and I won't buy another.

Not if you take the time to do it right or have a simple scope leveler. I've never had a problem with it.
 
What exactly is one paying for when they spend more money? I don’t exactly get scope rings at the moment. Pricey as hell
