EAW pivot mount, S&B Convex rail, Browning T-bolt

• Repeatable return to zero: The EAW pivot design lets the optic be removed and reattached without shifting point of impact, which is valuable when a rifle is shared between different sighting setups or transported with the scope detached.
• Steel construction: A steel mount body gives the system the rigidity and wear resistance needed for long service life, especially on rifles that see frequent scope changes and regular field use.
• Rail-specific upper interface: This version is built for the S&B Convex Rail, giving a secure, correctly matched connection for compatible Schmidt & Bender rail-mounted optics without relying on separate rings.
• Rifle-specific lower fit: The mount is configured for the FN Browning T-Bolt (with holes) and also fits several Savage rimfire actions, helping maintain proper alignment and a clean, model-correct installation.
• Adjustable mount-foot fit: The pivot system uses adjustable front and rear mount-foot engagement, allowing precise fitting and helping preserve the repeatability that matters in hunting and sporting rifle setups.

About the EAW Pivot Mounts Series

EAW Pivot Mounts are the company’s long-established quick-detachable mounting system, developed and launched more than 50 years ago. Within the EAW lineup, they sit as a traditional premium solution for hunters and sporting shooters who want a mount that combines secure lock-up with the ability to remove and reinstall an optic while maintaining the rifle’s zero. That makes the series especially relevant for rifles used with more than one sighting setup, or for owners who prefer to detach the scope for transport, storage or access to the action.

A defining characteristic of the series is its pivoting front engagement and locking rear section, which gives the mount its name and its practical repeatability. EAW also designed the system with adjustable front and rear mount-foot fits, allowing careful fitting to the firearm and optic interface. The range covers common rifles and long guns, and the concept is also suitable where a second scope or aiming device may be used. In practice, the series is known for a low, mechanically precise installation and for the confidence that comes from being able to remove and reattach the optic without treating the mount as a one-time fixed setup.

About the EAW pivot mount, S&B Convex rail, Browning T-bolt

This version of the EAW pivot mount is configured for the S&B Convex Rail and for the FN Browning T-Bolt (with holes), while also fitting Savage 93, Savage B.Mag, Savage Mark I, Savage Mark II and Savage Cub rifles. That combination makes it a practical choice for rimfire and small-calibre rifle setups where a rail-mounted Schmidt & Bender optic is preferred over a ring-mounted scope. By using a rail-specific upper interface, the mount provides a direct, properly matched connection that keeps the installation tidy and mechanically consistent.

The main advantage of this mount is not simply that it holds an optic, but that it does so in a way that supports repeatable removal and reattachment. For shooters who alternate between optics, remove the scope for transport, or want easier access to the rifle during maintenance, that repeatability is the real benefit of the pivot system. The steel construction adds stiffness and long-term durability, helping the mount resist wear at the engagement points that matter most in a detachable design.

Because this is a rifle-specific lower with a dedicated rail interface above, it suits users who want a mounting solution that feels integrated rather than adapted. On a Browning T-Bolt or compatible Savage action, the result is a mount intended to keep the optic secure, aligned and easy to reinstall in the same position, which is exactly what a quality hunting optics mount should do.

About EAW

EAW traces its origins to 1919, when Ernst Apel founded the company in Würzburg, Germany. The business took on the EAW name in 1923, and it developed its first riflescope mounts in 1945. Since 1951, mount development and production have been the company’s primary focus, which explains why EAW is so closely associated with premium German scope-mount engineering.

Today, Ernst Apel GmbH is headquartered in Eibelstadt, Germany, and the company remains known for mechanical mounting systems for sporting and tactical firearms. Its range includes pivot mounts, slide-on or roll-off mounts, and claw mounts, alongside thermal imaging cameras. For products such as this one, EAW’s reputation rests on precise fit, repeatable return to zero and a long-running specialization in detachable riflescope mounting systems.
