Strike Ambush 45° Optic Mount — 45-Degree Offset, Black Anodized

Mount fast. Aim faster.
The Strike Ambush 45° Optic Mount from Strike Industries gives you a compact, low-profile solution for running a secondary red dot at a 45° offset—perfect for quick transitions between a magnified LPVO and a close-range dot. Built with a dual-footprint plate and robust materials, the Ambush lets you configure popular mini-dots quickly while keeping a slim profile on your Picatinny rail.

Key Features

45° Offset Design: Quick-transition offset mount for immediate close-quarters target acquisition.
Dual Footprint Plate: Includes a flip/dual-footprint plate (SI Multi-Optic footprint + Aimpoint® Micro standard) to fit most mainstream red dots.
Ambidextrous / Multiple Positions: Mountable on either side of the rail and offers two plate positions for flexible optic placement.
Premium Construction: SUS630 hardened stainless steel Picatinny rail interface with a 6061-T6 aluminum optic plate for strength with low weight.
Low-Profile Footprint: Designed to sit flush (or slightly below) typical rail tops so it pairs cleanly with LPVOs and scopes.
Compact & Lightweight: Measures ~2.05" × 1.05" × 2.47" and weighs approximately 1.8 oz — minimal bulk for dual-optic setups.
Finish: Black anodized / QPQ-style finish for corrosion resistance and a tactical look.

What’s in the Box (Highlights)

Ambush 45° mount (assembled), dual-footprint optic plate, assorted mounting posts & screws, Torx tools, and a small tube of blue Loctite — hardware to support a wide range of MRDS footprints out of the box. (See manufacturer specs for full parts list.)

Why It Stands Out

The Ambush 45° balances modular compatibility with rock-solid construction. Its dual-footprint system eliminates the guesswork when pairing micro red dots to an LPVO or magnified optic, and the hardened stainless steel rail interface keeps the mount secure under recoil while remaining featherweight. That combination of versatility, strength, and low profile makes it a top pick for modern AR-style platforms.

Perfect For

Shooters running a primary LPVO with a backup MRDS for CQB transitions.
Builds that need a compact, low-weight offset solution without sacrificing durability.
Ambidextrous or modular setups where left/right mounting or multiple plate positions are useful.
