So I settled on a scope for the AR (SWFA SS 1-4x) and I'm wondering which ADM mount I should be looking at, the AD-Recon or the AD-Recon-X.....which I assume stands for "extended".
Not quite sure what I'll need for proper eye relief.
Any input?

Do I read the specs correctly? 3 to 5 inches of eye relief? 10" scope body. I'd use the Recon-X. I have a Vortex Strike Eagle in an ADM Recon-X mount, mounted on an AR, if that helps you

You can use either, I personally use a normal Recon (non-X) on ARs with NightForce 2.5-10x32, Trijicon 1-4x24 Accupower, and have used it with 1.5-4x20 Leupold scopes. But I have the mount all the way forward on the receiver and a flip down rear sight under the scope.

Standard Recon works fine with a Leupold 1.25-4 VX-R. Eyepiece sits right at the back of the charging handle and BUIS tucks underneath.

Yeah, standard Recon works fine with all mine and should for yours too.

Thanks for the info Para. I just got the Primary Arms 1-6x and was about to ask for mount recommendations.

For what it's worth, I have a Primary Arms 1-6X ACSS scope and it is mounted with American Defense Recon. It's been a great combination.

Para - could you post a pic of your setup?

Recon-X.
I have my Vortex Razor in a Recon-X. Perfect eye relief.
I put my Steiner T5Xi in a Warne RAMP mount, I should have got the X-Skel. I like the RAMP, but I need more eye relief than I can get out of it.This message has been edited. Last edited by: IndianaBoy, March 12, 2017 02:06 PM

FWIW, go to the American Defense website, click on any mount that looks good to you, and scroll down. There should be a drawing (to identify dimensions) and a chart below it telling you what each dimension is for any given mount.

As posted elsewhere, here's the end result using the basic Recon.
I figure if I need more eye relief, I can just move the whole thing forward.

Looks sweet Allen - post a report on performance when you can.
I'm in the market for a similar type - Strike Eagle/SWFA/Burrt RT-6 and respect real opinions

The scope is the 1-4x, not the 1-6xHD. I liked the reticle a lot and while there isn't a lot out there about it on the net, what there is said it was great for a <$500 optic. I'm no expert, but at 1x with both eyes open, I can't see any difference in color or distortion.
The one thing I DO notice is even at "10", the illuminated diamond is not as bright as say an Aimpoint. Hopefully this coming weekend I can try it out at the range and see if that will be a hindrance.
