Yes they offer a few mounts at a discount from $10-$25 bucks depending on modelI believe Primary Arms offers discounted scope mounts when purchasing a scope from their website. If that’s not the case for you, the prices may vary but the recommendations do not. Their GLX mounts are just fine for around $90. I also like the Midwest industries QD offset. Quick detach is useful (in my opinion) on an AR and for $170-ish you can’t go wrong. I like cantilever mounts.
They offer a few ADM maybe tou can shed light on the prices?I almost exclusively use Warne or ADM (American defense manufacturing) mounts. There are other good manufacturers but these 2 are consistent and reasonably priced. Regardless of your ultimate choice I’d go with a 1 piece extended (forward mounted) option. There’s plenty of love for the aero lightweight mounts but I’m not fond of their the way their rings tighten to scope body.
I also believe in that, if it can be shown that it does something better than a less-expensive alternative. But $4-$500 for a extended 30mm mount? I don't think so.I believe in buy once cry once. I only run spuhr.

That's like recommending a Bentley or Ferrari as a daily grocery-getter.
No doubt they are. But, does a person buy it as a daily driver because it performs that function so much better than a Toyota Carolla? Or is it because that person wants to say "My daily driver is a Bently"?bentlys make great daily drivers.
depends what you consider to be just as good. As it pertains to scope mounts.... ammo isn't cheap. How many rounds sent downrange *not where you have intended them to go* is it going to take to justify the difference in cost from a primary arms mount to a spuhr. By my calculations its roughly a single range trip running M855.No doubt they are. But, does a person buy it as a daily driver because it performs that function so much better than a Toyota Carolla?

those are very nice as well. I like those and the reptilia aus ones if I had to get into a situation where I was trying to shave weight.Spuhrs are very nice; just picked up a Badger Ordnance C.O.M.M. (Condition One Modular Mount) myself, came on Friday. Haven't field tested it yet, but it's a nice unit in the hand.
