EAW pivot mount, 30 mm, Mauser 2000, 3000

• Repeatable return to zero: The EAW pivot design lets the scope be removed and reattached without changing point of impact, which is valuable when transporting the rifle, switching optics, or cleaning the action.
• 30 mm ring configuration: Built for scopes with a 30 mm main tube, this mount supports a wide choice of modern hunting optics while keeping the installation matched to the rifle.
• Steel construction: A steel mount body provides the rigidity and wear resistance needed for long-term use on hard-recoiling sporting rifles and repeated on-off mounting cycles.
• Rifle-specific fit: This version is made for the Mauser 2000 and Mauser 3000, giving a dedicated interface that suits the action rather than relying on a generic mounting solution.
• Adjustable mount-foot fit: The EAW Pivot Mount system uses adjustable front and rear mount-foot fits, helping the installer achieve a precise fit and dependable locking engagement.

About the EAW Pivot Mounts Series

EAW Pivot Mounts are one of the company’s best-known mounting systems and have been part of the EAW range for more than 50 years. The series is aimed at shooters who want a traditional steel mounting solution with the practical advantage of being able to remove and reinstall an optic while maintaining the rifle’s zero. That makes the system especially relevant for hunting rifles used with different scopes, or with a second aiming device for a different style of shooting.

A defining feature of the series is its pivoting front engagement combined with a secure rear lock-up. EAW designed the system for common rifles and long guns, with versions tailored to specific actions rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. The adjustable front and rear mount-foot fits are part of that design philosophy, allowing careful fitting and consistent repeatability. Within the wider family, EAW also offers variants for different scope interfaces and dedicated lever-operated versions for break-action firearms, but the core idea remains the same: a robust, repeatable mount for shooters who value mechanical precision and the flexibility to remove an optic when needed.

About the EAW pivot mount, 30 mm, Mauser 2000, 3000

This EAW pivot mount is a rifle-specific mounting solution for the Mauser 2000 and Mauser 3000, configured with 30 mm rings for scopes that use the widely adopted 30 mm main tube standard. In practical terms, it suits hunters and traditional sporting-rifle users who want a secure steel mount that matches the rifle action correctly and allows the optic to be detached when required.

The main advantage of this mount is not simply that it holds a scope, but that it does so in a way that supports repeatable reinstallation. A pivot mount is especially useful when a rifle is carried in a case, transported frequently, or used with more than one sighting setup. Removing the scope can make the rifle easier to handle and store, while the mount’s design is intended to preserve zero when the optic is fitted again. For a hunting rifle, that means less disruption to a proven setup and more confidence when returning to the field.

The use of steel construction is equally important. Steel gives the mount the stiffness and long-term durability needed for repeated locking cycles and sustained recoil forces. Combined with EAW’s adjustable mount-foot fit system, this helps create a precise mechanical interface between rifle, mount and scope. For shooters building a classic hunting rifle around a 30 mm optic, this model offers a dedicated, action-matched solution with the practical benefits that have made the EAW pivot system a long-standing choice.

About EAW

EAW traces its origins to 1919, when Ernst Apel founded the company in Würzburg, Germany. In 1923, he acquired Elektro-Dental-Werke Frankfurt and changed the EDW brand to EAW, meaning Ernst Apel Würzburg. The company produced its first riflescope mounts in 1945, and since 1951 the development and production of riflescope mounts have been its primary focus.

That long specialization is central to EAW’s reputation in the sporting optics market. The company is known for pivot mounts, as well as slide-on or roll-off mounts and claw mounts, with a product range built around rifle-specific mechanical fit and repeatable precision. Production moved from Würzburg to Gerbrunn in 1970, and Ernst Apel GmbH is now headquartered in Eibelstadt, Germany. Alongside its established hunting mount systems, EAW has also expanded into tactical mounting solutions and thermal imaging products.
