Additional Compatibility Info:

The AD-RECON-SL is designed for rifles with an optics rail above the action.

It is not the preferred option for rifles with handguards extending over the barrel, where a different cantilever or raised mount may be required.

Always check your rail type, scope tube size, objective clearance and required eye relief before ordering. This listing is for the mount only. Scope, rifle and other accessories are not included.
