Which mount for an Aimpoint M4S... opinions needed.

Tactical Gear Optics & Mounts

I am considering a Bobro, ADM or a Larue mount for the M4S. I want the SOCOM height with a lower 1/3 cowitness. I am leaning towards the Bobro (1st choice) and I also like the ADM (2nd choice). I know the Larue is popular, but I have a friend with one and it has marked up his rail pretty good from removing and reinstalling.

This will go on my Colt 6920 and it’s not a safe queen, but I like to keep my stuff looking nice. I don’t want to mark it up any more than would be expected from normal use. I will be using it for target shooting out to about 200 yards and home defense.

Please share your opinions and your personal experiences with the 3 choices. Thanks… :cool:

Sounds like your friend has the mount adjusted too tight.

That’s what I told him, but he says it’s not. Maybe he is wrong. :confused:

Bobro is kick ass…

ADM is go to go too.

This is very close to what you would get with adm, this is just the setup w. socom lower 1/3 riser for the t-1. ADM is fantastic!

ETA…the American flag marketing hooked me hook, line and sinker!

LaRue is the way to go!

You need to contact Larue and see if the M4S fits the mount. I found a problem with the low battery not fitting some mounts.

Another thing I found was the mount that comes with the M4S is not that bad. Read the instructions about how it tightens down. It is a rock solid mount that returns to zero as good as anything else.

Larue mounts work with the m4s I’ve got that set up…

To Op: I would give the Bobro a shot. I have heard excellent things about them. That will most likely be my next mount. There a bit hard to find though. And I think the normal Bobro mount only fits the M4 ( I could be wrong) but I believe they make one for the m4s as well. So just make sure you buy the right one. (All you might need is a riser idk)

I went with the “SOCOM Height” ADM for my M4S. Works well and I haven’t had any issues.

bobro or larue both are great . You friends larue is probably to tight but you most likely will nick you rail up eventually with any mount if you remove and install constantly and don’t pay attention

I have the Larue mount for my M4s but to be honest, it doesn’t come off the rifle very often. Do you plan on switching out multiple optics on the same rifle or what? Put it on and leave it be.

Thanks for the feedback. I don’t plan to remove the mount very often though I may occasionally change it out for a Leupold VXIII 4.5x14 scope that is usually on a different rifle.

I have read other posts indicating that the Larue mounts are excellent but have been known to leave marks from the clamp. As it has been said perhaps these folks have it too tight. I’m not trying to make a big deal about this but I don’t like to pick a component only to want to replace it later (I have done this before… changing my mind:().

Just trying to make the best decision. I’m still leaning towards the Bobro or the ADM. Thanks again for the replies.

Yes, the Larue mounts do leave marks. I have moved my m4s few times trying to find the “perfect” spot. When I move it there are very light scuff marks. They don’t bother me.

Bobro has a different locking mechanism that automatically adjust to the rail size. Because of this you supposedly cannot tighten too much, leaving a mark. Because of this it also allows you to move the mount to different uppers easily without the need for readjustment.

Larue is great. That said, I will give Bobro a run for it’s money someday when I need another mount. I say go Bobro-be different :slight_smile:

I am considering going with the Bobro. Hopefully I can find a package deal including the M4S and the Bobro SOCOM mount. The Bobro seems to be hard to find. I have found a decent price for the M4S and the ADM mount but I think I would prefer to try the Bobro. Has anyone used the Bobro with the M4S?
