LEAP/05
$159.00 – $549.00
Designed for shooters who want the lightest, strongest, and most compact quick-detach red dot sight mount possible. The LEAP/05 redefines the standard for mounting your Trijicon MRO footprint compatible optic to your AR-15's Picatinny top rail. Available in 1.57” and 1.93” optic heights.
The LEAP/05 is precision CNC machined from all six sides out of a single piece of 7075-T6 Aluminum billet to ensure the ideal strength-to-weight ratio.
All Trademarks are the property of their respective owners and are used in accordance with FTC Comparative Advertising guidelines. All mounts weighed under the same conditions with all hardware necessary to attach an Trijicon MRO in lower-third co-witness height.
We tested a variety of quick-detach mounts on a digital test stand capable of exerting up to 1500lbs of force. We then used this data to refine our original Trijicon MRO mount design, culminating in the LEAP; a quick-detach mount that is both the lightest and strongest on the market today.
A highly efficient clamp design guarantees precise operation and unprecedented rigidity: It features an oversize hooded thru-hole to buttress the thumbscrew's shank, which is the maximum possible diameter to fit a Picatinny channel. A pair of hardened steel precision ground pins is press fitted to the clamp and act as guides.
During its development, the Leap mount was subjected to dozens of stress tests before a single prototype was ever made. Finite Element Analysis (FEA) helped extract every bit of performance from every gram of material. This cutting-edge design process has resulted in the most efficient mount design possible.
Every Leap mount is CNC machined from 7075-T6 Aluminum billet, which has vastly superior mechanical properties to 6061-T6, and is used where ultimate strength and durability outweigh cost considerations.
The LEAP mount lets you shoot at your very best by eliminating snag hazards and putting nothing in the way of weapon manipulations. With its industry leading ClickDrive quick-detach mechanism, the Leap mount is symmetrical, protruding less than 7mm from either side of your Picatinny rail.
From its introduction in 2014, the original Low Drag Mount featured our recoil proof ClickDrive® Quick-Detach mechanism, a precision telescoping clamp with world class return-to-zero, and a CNC machined base with the industry's highest strength-to-weight ratio, all while being as low-profile as a fixed bolt-on mount.
In 2015, the second-generation Low Drag Mount became the first Quick-Detach mount ever to be CNC machined from 7075-T6. Its external edges were rounded to minimize stress risers, the thumbscrew was Black Nitrided, and a pair of integral shear lugs was added to the clamp to further improve lateral impact resistance.
Today, the Leap mount features our strongest base with a forward lean to provide more room for magnifiers, and chamfered side pockets for improved thumbscrew access. The re-designed clamp has discreet hardened steel pins and a stopper to indicate when it's sufficiently open to clear a Picatinny rail.

This is my third Scalarworks mount and I could not be happier with the product and the quality. They are lightweight for you weight conscious snobs, they are tough and functional, and they hold zero even if I swap from carbine to carbine (obviously they are small nuances between rifles but generally speaking this holds true). The bottom line is these are the best mounts on the market, period.

I just received my MRO/LEAP05 bundle, and I couldn’t be happier. The packaging alone was worth five stars as the sight and mount come pre-assembled, vacuum-sealed, and with a QC checklist verifying everything is the way it should be. Also in the box were decals and a lens cleaning tool. I didn’t order either of these so the fact that they were included as part of the bundle further justifies my order. The box stores sell the MRO with the blocky mount (which is not in the 1.93 height mind you) for $550; or you can pay $520 from Scalar Works and get the same sight, a much more badass mount, plus swag and a cleaning tool. I am highly satisfied and will be ordering more from this company in the future. Semper Fi!

I used to be a die hard larue fan . But after trying scalarworks for the first time I think I might just be a scalar works fan boy . I used larue because they returned to zero better that anything else but now the SW seem to be just as good at RTZ . And they are lighter and look way better so keep up the good work and if your on the fence just buy one you won’t regret it

Beautifully machined and well thought out design. Extremely happy with purchase, quality of the product and ease of installation.

Love this mount. Solid but light.
