EAW Pivot Mounts

All types of EAW mounts are well-engineered and of highest quality standards. Nevertheless, we offer solutions which meet all of the diverse requirements of our customers.

More than 30 years ago EAW designed the first pivot mount and has been working steadily on its further development ever since. Numerous advances have made it the most successful mount of this type, which has also been adopted by other manufacturers. The EAW pivot mounts and pivot mounts with lever are designed in a way that they always guarantee absolute shooting precision of the rifle, even under hardest conditions.

Some Advantages

• Easy mounting and dismounting of the scope with one hand, since the sub-base of the pivot mount snaps into the lock automatically. If you use our pivot mount with lever, you only have to turn the lever
• Easy installation and short working time due to high precision
• Adjustable front foot and rear foot
• Large shear cross-section of the front foot (approx. 3 times larger than that of the claw mount) for high stability; prevents jamming
• Horizontal adjustment by means of the EAW pulling-down support
• Vertical adjustment (and that in intervals of ± 0.5 mm) is made possible by exchanging the rear foot sub-base
• Adjustment of vertical tolerances by means of a joint in the front foot
• Constant center point due to totally tension-free fit of the scope, even after repeated mounting and dismounting of the scope
• Ideal for a second scope

EAW Pivot Mounts with Lever

EAW developed the pivot mount with a lever for break-open rifles. Its lock is not installed on the rifle, but it is fixed at the scope, so that the foot plates can be flush with the barrel rib.

Some Advantages

• Reliable and stable design which guarantees optimal repeatability of zero when the scope is being replaced repeatedly (the DEVA [German Research Institute for Hunting and Sporting Arms] had already proved in 1979 that this type of mount has the best resistance to recoil of 10,000 shots, and repeated mounting and dismounting of the scope caused no loss of the rifle’s zero)
• Due to the low arrangement of the foot plates, the open sights can be used after removal of the scope
• Rear feet with windage adjustment (support)
• Interchangeable rear foot tops and rear foot sub-bases in various heights
• Claw mounts can be retrofitted with pivot mounts very easily and with few or no alterations to the rifle
• Single parts for secondary scopes are available
• No jamming of the lock
• Elegant overall appearance

NEW: Progressively Adjustable Lever

• The rifle prisms often show considerable differences with regard to the width. For that reason EAW developed the progressively adjustable lock lever which can be adjusted to the exact prism width, even with mounts which have already been mounted.
