    I’m sure it’s been asked a million times, and I’ve read through what I could find, and still have to ask (cause I couldn’t find the answer);

    budget of around $200. Looking for a 34mm QD to mate a vortex razor gen ii onto my HS Precisiom bolt gun. Recommendations?

    thank you

    Cheap alternative - shared these on a pair of 308's for a while with no issue. Moved to non-QD ARC rings once I bought another scope.

    Another vote here for ADM ... excellent quality, good return-to-zero, very flexible. I have ADM QD mounts on 9 scopes. My biggest reason for QD mounts BTW ... is to leverage the available room in my gun safes. Removing the optic almost doubles the available space. More rifles = More fun.

    Makes sense, and I’ll run with that as the reason :)
    I’m really liking the appearance of the ADM, appreciate the lead everyone.
    Now I have to figure out if I need a forward mount or a straight up mount? HS Precision mated to Vortex Razor gen ii (scope will be here this coming week and should be able to figure it out then, unless someone knows off the top of their head?)

    What's the rifle? Flat top? Bolt Action? Other?
     
    I recommend the American Defense Recon-S 20 MOA QD Scope Mount No Offset. The standard height should be fine for a flat-rail .308. And the 20 MOA rise let's you reach out to longer distances. You don't need a cantilever offset.

    Of course ... pick the correct tube diameter.
     
    Not specifically. Mostly probably because that’s what the cool kids I know have (mostly sarcasm but the two guys I know run them)? Should I reconsider and focus on non-QD? Thanks

    Unless you're planning swapping optics on a regular basis, you can get a fixed mount that will be sturdier, cheaper and probably lighter than any QD mount.
