Here is the final product of a DTA SRS case. I created the foam cutout in CAD then had a local foam design company CNC cut it out.

Have not tested this setup yet but I have another ADM mount on an Ar50 that always returns to zero just as long as you place it in the same spot on the rail

Re: DTA SRS CASE
Looks great, but why not arrange it so that the scope can stay attached. You will have to re-zero your rifle every time you shoot it.
Also, the DTA system is designed to work with their scope mount. The height of their mount is engineered so that you can easily achieve a proper cheek weld. Is the adm mount the same height? For what its worth, I have had problems with an adm mount. The DTA has always worked perfectly.

No, you don't. Like he said, as long as you put the mount back in the same place on the rail each time, there's no need for re-zeroing.
I have an NXS in the same mount on my POF and I never have to re-zero as long as I put the mount back in the same spot after I've taken it off.
<span style="font-weight: bold">McFlury</span>...that is an awesome case and setup you have there. Mind if I ask how much it cost to have the foam CNC cut? I could always use a hotwire cutter but I'd prefer to pay a little extra and have the foam cut professionally.

What kind of problems did you have ? I choose the ADM since these scopes pull double duty on different rigs. I believe the adm is 1.47 and the dta rear is 1.5 and front 1.47 something

It was like the the rings weren't parallel- they would stress the scope and bind the mag ring. They also wouldn't hold the scope under recoil even when I over torqued the rings. But, look, I seem to have problems with everything that I f'n buy. I think that most people love their ADM mounts. I will say that I thought their pic rail attachment method worked really well, and I'm not too surprised that you are having good luck with it returning to zero. I'm just too anal to fully trust it. If I was going hunting I would feel the need to hit the range to confirm zero before hitting the blind.

A good alternative to buying DTA's $300 Soft case is the 5.11 42" Double rifle case. I have been very impressed by mine and it only cost me $90 on expresspolicesupply.com. That is a nice looking hard case though!
