I have a new custom Seekins I'm liking to put glass on. I'm leaning towards a 1-6x scope but want to put a quick release "cam" type mount for the pic piccatiny rails. First, are these mounts reliable and second, which ones would you recommend?

Opinions on best quick release scope mounts for AR

I've used ADM, Larue, and Bobro. Here's my opinions on them.
The bobro clamp latch design is superior to the others in that it requires no adjustment, is very simple, repeatable, and bombproof. Finish wise it's also nicer than ADM or Larue. But the latch requires two hands, will wack your knuckles if you're not paying attention, and the mount is quite bulky.
The larue mount uses friction/pressure to lock on to the rail, which requires adjustment and can mar your rail. However, it's quite light, has good repeatability, and is also tough.
The ADM uses a clamp style like the bobro that requires tension adjustment. You can use it one handed, it's lighter than the bobro, and it can't mar your rail.
My new preference is for the ADM, given that it works as well as the other two and is cheaper.
