Can the QD mount be reversed so the knob sticks out to the right {more or less over the ejection port}?  Looks like it can be simply swapped.

Which QD mount?



But more than likely you should be able to.

The one that came with the scope.  Has the torque nut on it.

IIRC, I at one point unbolted the base from the riser/mount on my QRP mount and figured out the mounting holes are offset so the base can't be spun to face the other direction.

ETA:  The holes aren't offset, but the channel where the riser/mount interface is offset, so you'll end up with the spacer/ring portion overhanging the base quite a bit with a slight offset of the actual sight.  You can see in the picture below on this spacer.
