EAW Magnum pivot mount, 36 mm, Weatherby Junior

• Repeatable return to zero: The EAW Magnum pivot mount is built so the riflescope can be removed and reattached without shifting point of impact, which is valuable when switching optics or transporting the rifle.
• Magnum-ready steel construction: Its steel build gives the mount the rigidity and durability needed for hard field use and rifles with stronger recoil, helping the optic stay secure over time.
• 36 mm ring interface: The 36 mm configuration matches large main-tube scopes, making this mount suitable for premium optics that need a strong, stable mounting platform.
• Weatherby Junior fit: This version is made specifically for the Weatherby Junior, giving a rifle-specific interface that supports correct fit and dependable alignment.
• Adjustable pivot-mount design: EAW’s pivot system uses adjustable front and rear fit surfaces, which helps the mount sit tension-free and supports consistent accuracy after repeated use.

About the EAW Pivot Mounts Series

EAW Pivot Mounts are the company’s long-established quick-detachable mounting system for sporting rifles and other common long guns. EAW states that it developed and launched this pivot design more than 50 years ago, and the concept remains central to the brand’s mount lineup because it combines secure lock-up with repeatable reinstallation. A key characteristic of the series is that the front and rear mount-foot fits are adjustable, allowing the mount to be set up with proper engagement and without unnecessary stress on the scope.

In practical use, the series is designed for shooters who may want to remove an optic for transport, maintenance, or a change of sighting system and then reinstall it while maintaining a consistent point of impact. That makes the platform especially useful for rifles that carry more than one optic or aiming device. Within the wider EAW range, the pivot mounts sit as a traditional all-steel solution with a strong emphasis on mechanical precision, repeatability, and rifle-specific fit. The series also includes variants for different firearm types, including a lever-operated version for break-action firearms, but the common theme across the line is a robust detachable mount built for dependable field use.

About the EAW Magnum pivot mount, 36 mm, Weatherby Junior

The EAW Magnum pivot mount, 36 mm, Weatherby Junior is a rifle-specific quick-detachable scope mount made for shooters who need a strong interface for a Weatherby Junior rifle and a riflescope with a 36 mm main tube. The Magnum version is intended for applications where a heavier-duty mount is preferred, particularly when pairing larger premium optics with rifles that demand a secure and stable attachment. In this role, the steel construction matters because it provides the stiffness needed to keep the optic aligned under recoil and repeated handling.

The practical advantage of this mount is not only that it holds the scope firmly, but that it does so in a way that supports repeatable removal and reattachment. That is useful for hunters and rifle owners who alternate between optics, remove a scope for transport, or want easier access to the rifle during maintenance. Because it belongs to the EAW pivot system, the mount benefits from the series’ adjustable fit concept, which helps achieve proper engagement between mount and rifle while avoiding unnecessary tension on the scope body.

The 36 mm ring size makes this version especially relevant for large-tube hunting optics and specialist riflescopes that need more mounting surface than smaller tube standards provide. Combined with the Magnum configuration and rifle-specific lower interface, it delivers a mounting solution focused on stability, repeatability, and a clean mechanical fit rather than universal compromise.

About EAW

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

Today, EAW is known for German-made mounting systems for sporting and specialist rifles, including pivot mounts, slide-on or roll-off mounts, and claw mounts. The company has also expanded into related areas such as thermal imaging cameras, while keeping riflescope mounting technology at the center of its identity. Production moved from Würzburg to Gerbrunn in 1970, and Ernst Apel GmbH is now headquartered in Eibelstadt, Germany. Within the optics and shooting market, EAW has a strong reputation for mechanically precise, rifle-specific mounting solutions.
