In the <strong>US<\/strong>, pivot mounts did not undergo such mass use and are now <strong>mostly manufactured as fixed mounts<\/strong>, and not as quick release mounts, making them more affordable. Some manufacturers also call them <strong>swing mounts<\/strong>, and this name has caught on especially among hunters.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Their popularity and usability have been increasing with the usage of riflescopes that have a larger lens diameter, as this type of mounting <strong>allows the optics to be positioned lower on the rifle<\/strong>, towards the barrel axis. Moreover, the <strong>mounting procedure is easier and cheaper<\/strong> than that of the once popular Suhl Claws. Another great advantage of pivot mounts in comparison to Suhl Claw mounts is that they <strong>allow the mounting of various rifle scopes<\/strong> on a single rifle and <strong>100% <a href=\"https:\/\/www.optics-trade.eu\/blog\/detachable-vs-repeatable-mounts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">repeatable mounting<\/a><\/strong> of the same optics after the removal (the scope does not need to be zeroed again).<\/p>\r\n<p><div class=\"nv-iframe-embed\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"How to mount a Red Dot Sight on a Pivot Mount | Optics Trade Debates\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/krRRuQhLc6E?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Recently, pivot mounts have been<strong> losing their importance<\/strong> and consequently their market share, mainly at the expense of newer solutions for mounting optics. Though this trend is moving at a slow pace and pivot mounts will probably remain in use for a decade or more. New brands such as Blaser, Sauer, Merkel, Strasser, Mauser, etc. are taking over pivot mounts&#8217; market shares with their new and more sophisticated optics mounting solutions. The popular Picatinny rails are also taking a large market share from pivot mounts and other optics mounting solutions.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>General Features of Pivot Mounts<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What all pivot mounts have in common is that the<strong> front of the mount bears the recoil force<\/strong>, and that the <strong>back <\/strong>is meant only <strong>for horizontal adjustments<\/strong>. All pivot mounts offer the option of horizontal adjustments when the scope is already mounted. The <strong>back is simply freely floating<\/strong> in the direction of the barrel (with no tension due to thermal elongations).<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Most manufacturers<\/strong> offer <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.optics-trade.eu\/blog\/how-to-mount-a-red-dot-sight-on-a-pivot-mount\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">pivot mounts<\/a> for all types of rifle scopes<\/strong> available and for various barrel diameters from 25,4 mm, 30 mm, 34 mm, 36 mm, 40 mm, to those with an LM rail, a ZM\/VM rail, an SR rail, an S&amp;B convex rail, etc. Recently, many manufacturers have also begun producing pivot mounts <strong>for modern night vision devices<\/strong> (digital and thermal imaging).<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In most cases, pivot mounting <strong>bases are separate<\/strong> (in two pieces), with the exception of some one-piece STD mounts from the American manufacturer Leupold, as well as INNOmount Picatinny rails with built-in mount bases. The <strong>upper part<\/strong> of the pivot mount can be made of <strong>one or two pieces<\/strong>. <strong>Single piece upper parts<\/strong> of pivot mounts are produced <strong>by MAK &#8211; MAKflex, <a href=\"https:\/\/optics-info.com\/innomount-novelties-2018\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">INNOmount<\/a>, <\/strong>and <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/optics-info.com\/recknagel-mounts-at-iwa-2019\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Recknagel<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These mounts offer <strong>many flexible solutions<\/strong> for mounting numerous optical devices. They offer the possibility of attaching various <strong>adapters <\/strong>(MAK), which allow the mounting of all types of <strong>night vision devices<\/strong> (digital and thermal imaging) and better flexibility when setting the eye relief, and are <strong>much more durable<\/strong> than upper parts made of two pieces. Various versions of pivot mounts with mounting rings have a 2\/3 design and with such mounts, no adjustments or lapping of the rings are needed.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Manufacturers of pivot mounts <strong>produce all components modularly<\/strong>. As a result, all parts are usually <strong>interchangeable<\/strong> and have different dimensions of front bases for different length and height dimensions, allowing for greater flexibility in mounting. The rear spacers allow the correct adjustment in height and the use of different ring sizes. For the mounting of pivot mounts, it is <strong>recommended <\/strong>that they are <strong>installed by experienced gunsmiths<\/strong>, as they are not suitable for mounting by inexperienced users due to their complexity.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Types of Pivot Mounts<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The EAW Type:<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>EAW<\/strong> is the <strong>most well-known manufacturer<\/strong> of pivot mounts which made these mounts popular and many are of the opinion that their products are currently <strong>the best<\/strong> on the market. The price also speaks of their quality, as they are the <strong>most expensive<\/strong> of all, which they certainly justify with the quality, as EAW uses the <strong>best materials available<\/strong>. EAW pivot mounts offer a <strong>large number of variants and options<\/strong>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-9076\" src=\"https:\/\/optics-info.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/eaw_pivot_mount.jpg\" alt=\"Different Types of Pivot Mounts\" \/>\r\n<figcaption>Eaw pivot mount, 30 mm, Browning BLR, CLR 81 (Source: EAW)<\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many manufacturers began making similar products, one of them being Rusan. The <strong>rear base<\/strong> in EAW pivot mounts is <strong>unique<\/strong> and the most common <strong>upper parts <\/strong>are of a <strong>single piece<\/strong>. Different heights of the rear base locks also allow the elevation to be adjusted correctly. The <strong>rear base locks automatically<\/strong> when the mount is rotated to the correct position.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Rear Dovetail Type:<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This type of pivot mounts is characterized by the fact that the <strong>rear base<\/strong> is of the mount is made in the shape of a <strong>simple 16 mm dovetail<\/strong>. The <strong>rear <\/strong>part of the mount is <strong>loose<\/strong> in the direction of the barrel and only the <strong>front <\/strong>part <strong>carries or compensates for the recoil force<\/strong>. Recknagel, Mak, Henneberger, and many other manufacturers use this design.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-9078\" src=\"https:\/\/optics-info.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/eramatic_one-piece_swing_mount_zeiss_zm_vm_rail_6_1_15.jpg\" alt=\"Different Types of Pivot Mounts\" \/>\r\n<figcaption>ERAMATIC One-Piece Swing mount, Sabatti Express, Swarovski SR rail (Source: Eramatic)<\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Different heights<\/strong> of the <strong>rear spacers<\/strong> allow the correct <strong>mounting height to be adjusted<\/strong>. There are many <strong>different bases for locking<\/strong> the rear of the mount: <strong>rotational, with a lever, and Recknagel H8<\/strong>. Of all the variants, only the Recknagel R6 locks itself, while all others need to be locked manually. Most mounts of this type have the <strong>upper part made of a single piece<\/strong> (MAKflex, INNOmount, and Recknagel). MAKflex offers the possibility of use on EAW\/Rusan bases.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Rusan Type:<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rusan is a <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/optics-info.com\/rusan-factory-tour\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Croatian manufacturer<\/a><\/strong> that produces mounts and accessories for mounting optics and is well known for making pivot mounts of the EAW type. They are one of the <strong>largest manufacturers<\/strong> of such mounts <strong>in the EU<\/strong>. In <strong>2017<\/strong>, in addition to the production of EAW type mounts, Rusan added their <strong>own version of pivot mounts<\/strong>, which has a modified rear base.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-9081\" src=\"https:\/\/optics-info.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/rusan_pivot_mount_for_cz_452_11_mm_prism_26_mm_7_.jpg\" alt=\"Different Types of Pivot Mounts\" \/>\r\n<figcaption>Rusan Pivot mount for CZ 452 (11 mm prism), 26 mm<\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Their <strong>base is unique<\/strong> and the only thing that has remained the same is the design of the mounting ring. <strong>Elevation adjustment<\/strong> is possible <strong>with square spacers<\/strong>. The <strong>German AKAH<\/strong> is the <strong>largest seller<\/strong> of Rusan&#8217;s pivot mounts in the EU. Many such mounts have been sold on the German market together with the Leica Magnus optics.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Leupold STD type:<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.leupold.com\/product-series\/std-mounting-systems\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Leupold STD<\/a><\/strong> is the <strong>most basic type<\/strong> of pivot mounts and at the same time, the <strong>most affordable<\/strong>. <strong>Elevation adjustment<\/strong> is <strong>not possible<\/strong>, as both the front and rear mounting rings are made of a <strong>single piece<\/strong> of solid material. Single-piece bases are available. For mounting of this type, if it is a version with two-part bases, an experienced gunsmith is required.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-9085\" src=\"https:\/\/optics-info.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/leupold_std_standard_2-piece_ring_base_set.jpeg\" alt=\"Different Types of Pivot Mounts\" width=\"497\" height=\"497\" \/>\r\n<figcaption>Leupold STD Two-Piece Base &amp; 25.4mm Ring Set, Remington 700 RVF (Source: Leupold)<\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is necessary to <strong>ensure<\/strong> that <strong>both rings are 100% aligned<\/strong> and in the same plane, so that when tightening the rings, the barrels do not bend and thus reduce the accuracy of the optics or even permanently damage the optics. Suck pivot mounts are <strong>gradually disappearing<\/strong> from the market. Their place is being taken by simpler and more reliable mountings for attachment to the Picatinny lever.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pivot mounts are of <strong>high-quality<\/strong> and provide the users, especially hunters, with <strong>100% reliability and repeatability<\/strong>. Their design is <strong>secure and simple to use<\/strong>, that is why pivot mounts remain highly popular. They are slowly losing their market share, but due to their reliability, they will remain on the market for decades to come.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Introduction Pivot mounts have been one of the most popular types of mounts on hunting rifle scopes in the last decades, especially in Europe, where they replaced the expensive and difficult to install Suhl Claw mounts.
