Looking at using an AR for a dedicated "long range" platform and have only done so using risers and normal rings in the past. I'd like to put the optic in a QD mount but most of the mounts that I've seen and used are higher off the rail than I want for a more dedicated "long distance" optic and I don't really want to add anything to the rifle as a cheek riser. I might have to go ahead and use risers and regular rings but I thought I'd throw it out to the forum hive mind and see if anyone offers a QD mount that lets the optic sit low over an AR. Objective is 32mm.
Rifle Scopes QD mount with optic sitting lowest?

ADM Recon SL is 1.1" high.
Nightforce 20 MOA Unimount can be had in 1.125" height.

Rye is right, the ADM SL's are the lowest I've found. I actually owned one in 34mm when I had my Bushnell 3.5-21, I had about a mm to spare above my LMT rail. Also check out GG&G, they have a nice low mount as well with a single lever similar to Bobro. You will find that most mounts made for the AR platform are pretty high because they are expecting you to mount above a BUIS or they are cantilevered and need the extra metal for strength I'd imagine. There was a thread started a few months back asking pretty much the same thing, here it is http://www.snipershide.com/shooting...clear-monolithic-rail-34mm-50mm-obj-hdmr.html
