    proper base/scope installation

    Hello hoard,
    I'm using a 20 moa ADM recon. My question, does the ring offset require extensive lapping?

    Welcome, waxapple. No, you shouldn't need to do any significant lapping, as the rings and base are cut as a single unit. It doesn't hurt to use a lapping tool, if for nothing else, to ensure maximum contact with your scope, but you should see no issues related to the 20 moa cant.
    If it's true that we are here to help others, then what exactly are the others here for?

        Waxapple,

        Welcome. I'm also looking at the ADM mount.

          Have not had a chance to shoot it but it looks well made. I think LRRFP52 posted a video of a test. It seems to do well if left attached but wanders a bit if removed between shots. My thinking is quick removal of a damaged optic with backup flip ups. Once on I hope it stays on. Not the best but not bad for the $.

            It is a quality, low cost mount. I'd posted my thoughts on it, here:

            After a poor experience with the $100 Nikon 20 MOA mount, I ordered the ADM Recon QD, also with a 20 MOA elevation. (What I should have done, in the first place.) Up to this point, I've harbored my doubts about QD mounts being able to Return to Zero, and have expressed them here on the board. Well, I am now ready to eat those
