EAW pivot mount, LM rail, Heym SR 20

• Repeatable return to zero: The EAW pivot design lets the optic be removed and reattached without changing point of impact, which is useful when switching between optics or transporting the rifle.
• LM rail interface: The rail-based upper interface gives a secure, precisely aligned connection for compatible scope bodies, helping maintain a clean installation without separate rings.
• Adjustable mount fit: EAW’s pivot system uses adjustable front and rear fit surfaces, allowing the mount to be matched correctly to the rifle for stable, tension-free seating.
• Steel construction: The steel body is built for long service life and resistance to wear in repeated mounting cycles, making it well suited to hard field use on hunting rifles.
• Rifle-specific lower geometry: This version is made for the Heym SR 20 platform, so it provides the correct base fit for a proper pivot-mount installation on that action.

About the EAW Pivot Mounts Series

EAW Pivot Mounts are a long-established part of the company’s hunting and sporting rifle lineup, with the design introduced by EAW more than 50 years ago. The series is built for common rifles and long guns and is aimed at shooters who want a removable scope mount without giving up repeatability. Its defining characteristic is the ability to take the optic off the rifle and put it back on while keeping the point of impact consistent, which matters when a rifle is used with more than one sighting setup or needs a lower profile for transport.

The series also stands out for its adjustable front and rear mount-foot fit, which helps the mount sit correctly on the firearm rather than forcing parts together under stress. In practical use, that tension-free fit supports reliable alignment and repeatable locking. EAW also positions the pivot-mount concept as a good choice for rifles that may carry a second scope or aiming device, making the system relevant for hunters who alternate between different optic configurations. Across the range, the design philosophy is mechanical precision, secure locking and repeatable removal rather than quick-detach convenience alone.

About the EAW pivot mount, LM rail, Heym SR 20

The EAW pivot mount, LM rail, Heym SR 20 is a rifle-specific mounting solution for shooters who want the practical advantages of a detachable optic setup on the Heym SR 20. Its upper interface is made for LM Rail optics, giving a direct rail connection that avoids the separate ring arrangement used on conventional tube-mounted scopes. That can simplify the installation of compatible rail-equipped optics while keeping the scope aligned securely over the action.

As part of the EAW Pivot Mounts family, this model is built around repeatable removal and reattachment. For a hunting rifle, that matters when the optic must be taken off for transport, access to the rifle, or use with an alternative sighting setup. The pivot mechanism is designed so the scope returns to the same mounted position, helping preserve zero after reinstallation when the mount is correctly fitted.

The steel construction gives this mount the rigidity and wear resistance expected from a traditional all-steel hunting mount. That is especially relevant in a component that is opened, closed and locked repeatedly over time. Because this version is made specifically for the Heym SR 20, it is intended to match that rifle’s mounting geometry rather than serve as a universal compromise. The result is a mount focused on stable fit, repeatable positioning and long-term durability for a rail-equipped riflescope setup.

About EAW

EAW traces its history 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 mount development and production have been its main focus.

Today, EAW is known for German-made mounting systems for sporting and hunting rifles, including pivot mounts, slide-on or roll-off mounts, and claw mounts. Production moved from Würzburg to Gerbrunn in 1970, and Ernst Apel GmbH is now headquartered in Eibelstadt, Germany. The company has expanded its range over time, including tactical mount solutions and thermal imaging products, but its reputation remains closely tied to precise, repeatable riflescope mounting systems.
