ADM will always recommend the Delta over the Recon (I just had this conversation with them last week) because of the horizontal vs vertical split rings. Always go horizontal when you can.

From my email with the head ADM mil/LE rep:
"The solid design of the delta line with the base, rise, and lower half of the ring being one solid piece is much stronger. The recon line has a vertically split ring system. With any vertically split ring system you are limited by the clamping force of the bottom two screws to lock the rings in place to the base."

Personally, I think QD is overrated, how often are we actually removing our scope mounts? Nothing wrong with QD, but it's a little bit of added weight that will likely never be used. IMO.

Instead of traditional inline BUIS, why not a secondary aiming device, like a 45* or top mounted RDS?

And just for clarification, I am writing an LPVO white paper and currently have in my possession:

Reptilia 1.54 34mm
Vortex Lightweight 1.5 30 and 34mm
Badger 1.7 30 and 34mm
KAC 1.93 30mm
ADM Recon 1.93 30mm
ADM Delta 1.93 30mm
FAST LPVO 30mm
Thanks for the advice on the Recon vs Delta...
