So as I go to tighten the screws on my ADM-Recon mount the scope seems to start canting most of the time. I have having a very tough time getting the scope level. You guys using these mounts have any special way to mount your scopes in theses things? Sorry for the stupid question, but I seem to have trouble when it come to mounting scopes perfectly level.. I appreciate it!

You must completely tighten the bottom screws first or else you may pinch the tube. Once that's done, no special trick. I haven't had much trouble with the scope rotating after leveling. You can try holding it in place with a deck of cards or something wedged between the flat bottom of the scope saddle and the mount.
 
I've found that if I tighten down the bottom screws first, as per ADM's instructions, my scope does not drift at all while tightening the top screws.

Same here. When I got my first ADM Recon mount I didn't notice the instructions to tighten the bottom screws first. I could see the mount moving. Reread the instruction started over again with the bottom screws tightened first. Not a single problem afterwards.
