Hello guys, I'm searching for a scope mount for my flat top upper that wont break the bank, that is also of decent quality. A quick release lever system would be nice, but I'm open to all suggestions. Hope some of you can point me in the right direction.

a good QD will ALWAYS be expensive

id recommend an Aero precision lightweight extended mount.

simple design and super light, fair price.

run offset irons and call it a day.

Rock River Arms has some of the best values in scope mounts.  

FYI you can order the Larue mounts without the qd levers to save a few bucks.

ADM normally has the cheaper, decent quality QD mounts.


I like Larue and there are several for sale on the EE right now.

Good advice above.  Worth waiting and saving for, IMHO.  ADM Recon or Larue LT-104. I lean toward the Larue dual lever for scopes, and ADM single lever for red dots.

A good bit cheaper and QD is the Burris PEPR.  It will do, but it is heavy and bulky/blocky and not quite as good about true return to zero.

For a rugged fixed mount consider the Leupold Mark 2 IMS or the Aero Precision, each at about $85 and, as someone above pointed out, run your backups offset.

A used Larue will be more expensive than a new ADM or a Midwest Industries.  You could go really low cost and get a Burris Pepr but they are heavy.  The non QD Aero are very nice if you can live without it being QD.
