If you’ve spent much time doing CQB (close quarters battle) work, you’re probably familiar with angled optics. Having an extra optic option mounted to the side of your rifle at a 45-degree angle can come in handy for various shooting techniques and positions. Of course, figuring out how to securely mount it to your handguard is another issue entirely. Strike Industries has a solution to the problem: the Strike Ambush 45-Degree Optic Mount.
The Strike Industries Ambush 45-Degree Optic Mount is designed to allow shooters to run dual optics on their rifles. It’s offset 45 degrees to provide the optimal angle for use when rotating your rifle to one side while shooting. And, it is ambidextrous, so it can be mounted to either side of the gun. The rail mount is compatible with Picatinny rails and is made from SUS630 hardened stainless steel. The mounting plate itself is made from 6061 T6 aluminum. Strike Industries created this angled mount to be functional, durable, and resistant to damage from the expected bumps and scraps that take place while running your gun.
Regarding the Strike Ambush 45-Degree Optic Mount, the company has this to say:
When you want to run a dual optic setup and have a close distance Mini/Micro Red Dot Sight (MRDS) with a Low Power Variable Optic (LPVO) scope, this 45-degree optic mount is a low-profile and high-strength accessory without forcing you to pick only one red dot you have to pair it up with. The 45-degree angle should get you out of the way of most LPVO scopes along with two mounting positions to pick from on the SI Multi-Optic Mount side. Easily place a MRDS alongside a LPVO with the low-profile SI-Ambush Picatinny rail mount that either sits flush with the top of the Pic rail or slightly below making it easier to sit under a scope or scope mount. The Strike Ambush 45 comes with a dual footprint mounting plate which has the SI Multi-Optic Mount on one side and the Aimpoint Micro Standard footprint for T-1/T-2 compatible red dots on the other side making this a new innovative modular option for a diverse market.
