EAW Roll-off Mount for Ruger M 77, 26 mm

• Detachable roll-off design: The mount lets a riflescope be removed and reattached, which is useful when switching optics or returning to iron sights without leaving a permanent obstruction on the rifle.
• 26 mm ring interface: Built for classic 26 mm scope tubes, this version suits traditional hunting optics and gives a secure, purpose-made fit instead of relying on adapters.
• Ruger-specific fit: Designed for the Ruger M77 family and related Ruger actions, the mount matches the rifle platform directly for a cleaner installation and dependable alignment.
• Aluminium construction: The aluminium body keeps weight down, helping preserve the balance of lighter hunting rifles while still providing the rigidity needed for everyday field use.
• Made in Germany: EAW mounts are built for shooters who value precise machining and repeatable mechanical engagement, especially on rifles that are carried often and used in changing conditions.

About the EAW Roll-off Mounts Series

EAW Roll-off Mounts sit below the company’s pivot mounts in the range and are intended as a more economical solution for lighter firearm setups. The series is built around the practical advantage of a mount that allows the optic to be removed and reattached, making it suitable for rifles that may alternate between a scope and open sights or between different sighting systems. Within the line, EAW offers versions for Picatinny rails as well as rifle-specific dovetail interfaces, with one-piece and two-piece configurations depending on the application.

The design philosophy of the series is straightforward: keep the mount compact, mechanically simple and appropriate for sporting rifles, air rifles and small-calibre platforms where excessive bulk is unnecessary. Some versions use pivot-mounted rings or prisms with side support, while others are configured for fixed installation or lever-lock attachment. That variety makes the series useful across traditional hunting rifles and lighter sporting arms, especially where a neat profile and repeatable removal matter more than the added complexity of a heavier quick-detach system.

About the EAW Roll-off Mount for Ruger M 77, 26 mm

The EAW Roll-off Mount for Ruger M 77, 26 mm is a rifle-specific detachable mount made for shooters who want a clean, traditional way to fit a 26 mm riflescope to the Ruger M77 platform and related Ruger models. Its main advantage is not just that it holds an optic, but that it does so in a format that suits classic hunting rifles and older European-style scope tubes that still remain in use. For owners of a Ruger rifle with a period-correct optic, that makes this mount especially relevant.

The roll-off mounting concept is useful in practice because it allows the scope to be taken off when needed, whether for transport, maintenance or to regain an unobstructed view over the rifle’s original sights. On a field rifle, that flexibility can matter as much as the mount’s basic holding strength. Because this version is tailored to the Ruger interface rather than being a universal ring-and-base combination, it also gives the installation a more integrated fit on the rifle.

Aluminium construction helps keep overall weight moderate, which is important on sporting rifles that are carried over long distances. Combined with EAW’s long-established focus on riflescope mounting systems, the result is a mount aimed at practical hunting use: compact, purpose-built and mechanically straightforward. It is also compatible with a broad group of Ruger rifles, including Ruger M77 SA and LA models as well as several related Ruger actions, making it a useful option for shooters who want one mounting style across similar rifles.

About EAW

EAW was founded by Ernst Apel in Würzburg, Germany, in 1919. The company name grew out of a 1923 acquisition, when Ernst Apel took over Elektro-Dental-Werke Frankfurt and changed the EDW brand to EAW, meaning Ernst Apel Würzburg. EAW produced its first riflescope mounts in 1945, and since 1951 the development and production of riflescope mounts have been the company’s primary focus.

That long specialization is what makes EAW particularly relevant in the sporting optics and hunting optics market. The company manufactures pivot mounts, slide-on or roll-off mounts and claw mounts for riflescopes, and it has also expanded into thermal imaging cameras. Production moved from Würzburg to Gerbrunn in 1970, and Ernst Apel GmbH is now headquartered in Eibelstadt, Germany. Across its mount lines, EAW is known for German-made designs aimed at precise fit, repeatable attachment and broad compatibility with traditional European and modern rifle platforms.
