    They're ok, but Larue is well worth the premium, the lockup isn't quite as smooth when closing and solid when locking. If you can score a deal though, there's no reason to pass up.

    I've got a few. Never had an issue. The lock up is as tight as you want it with the adjustable levers.

    I really like them because they're one of the few to offer "low" mounts on several models.

    Midwest just released summer mounts that look very similar. Not sure how they compare price/performance wise.

    Ive got a couple and definitely satisfied. From what I read in a scope's zero repeatability test the ADM and Bobro did better then Larue for return to zero.

    Ive had Larue Aimpoint mounts and IMO they werent worth the premium, but we all have different opinions. Until I see something circumstantial though I'll stick with ADM.

    The un-latching can be a little more of a pain then the Larue if you have the levers adjusted tight.

    They're good to go for sure. If you can use your points, go for it. The elevated base is really designed for long range shooting, but will work just fine at short or intermediate ranges.

    I believe their low mounts have an "L" at the end of their part number. They will put the optical axis about 1.1" above the rail. You may be able to get lower with individual rings (qrw/prw from Leupold) but you may have issue with clearing the objective depending on scope size and on an AR15, individual rings usually end up being far enough apart that you can't get them both on the upper rail (ie one is on the handguard). The built MOA in the base helps with long distance shooting by tilting the scope with the eye piece higher than the objective. Objective clearance will be more of an issue with built in MOA on the low mounts.

    On an AR, you're most likely going to need the offset. If you don't have it, the eye piece is going to be well behind the charging handle and you'll end up needing a very long LOP to get proper eye relief.

    I will be using a Leupold VXR PAtrol 1.25-4x20 and usually mount it so the eyepiece is inline the the tip of the buis when its down

    Objective clearance won't be an issue with that scope but the big eye piece of going to call for some offset.
