MtnMike Posted Sunday at 11:40 AM Report Share Posted Sunday at 11:40 AM I recently ordered a highly discounted ATN ThOR thermal scope. My initial plan is to mount in on a relatively lightweight 308AR that is largely set up for hunting. Coyotes are becoming an increasing problem. I've pretty much always used Leupold one piece Mark AR mounts for my ARs. However, I am thinking a Quick Disconnect (QD) mount would be useful in this situation. Was wondering if anyone in here has expedience (good or bad) with any QD scope mounts? If so, I'd appreciate the input. I plan to get this thing mounted and tested relatively quickly so I can return the thermal if it fails to satisfactorily perform. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rsquared Posted Sunday at 04:41 PM Report Share Posted Sunday at 04:41 PM I have ADM mounts for most of my rifles. From EOTech's on my "door-kickers", to Nightforce and Steiners on my distance rifles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted yesterday at 02:58 AM Report Share Posted yesterday at 02:58 AM In addition to what the gentlemen have mentioned above, I'd also toss Midwest Industries into the running. I have my preferences, and if I'm ranking them, it's definitely LaRue in 1st place, ADM as #2, and Midwest bring up the podium. I love every single one of my LaRue mounts, and there's many of them in the house. I'll give one exception to the above - the original Aimpoint 30mm red dot mount was a badass piece of kit. It was the Aimpoint QRP Mount. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MtnMike Posted yesterday at 10:18 AM Author Report Share Posted yesterday at 10:18 AM I appreciate all the input. I am also a fan of LaRue. Can't count how many of their triggers, I've installed. Haven't used any ADM or Midwest products that I recall, but their QD mounts also have solid reviews. In the end, I went with the ATN QD scope mount. I may regret it. Hell, I may regret the ATN thermal as well. Night hunting will be a brand new realm for me. Went with the ATN primarily for 2 reasons: (1) well reviewed by folks who used them with their ATN ThOR thermal scopes; and (2) cheap - $92 at Optics Planet w/ preferred pricing. Additionally, having not received it, I don't know the actual dimensions of the scope as far as height and the distance between the mount points. May well upgrade the mount in the future. A few year's back, I bought a CVA Durasight scope mount for a CVA muzzleloader and it was an utter POS; I missed a damn big buck due to the thing that I'm still pissed about. Hopefully, this mount will be solid and true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NF1E Posted yesterday at 11:38 AM Report Share Posted yesterday at 11:38 AM I have been using Leupold QRW rings for years even on precision rifles. Whatta Hobby! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shooterrex Posted 23 hours ago Report Share Posted 23 hours ago The ATN thermal I have required seperate rings. None of the 1 piece mounts I had laying around had enough spacing between the rings. The little next Gen ATN thermal I bought has its own mount. It also works as a clip on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
