EAW pivot mount, 26 mm, Mauser M 94, 96

• Repeatable return to zero: The EAW pivot design lets the scope be removed and reattached while maintaining the rifle’s established point of impact, which is especially useful when switching between optics or transporting the rifle more compactly.
• 26 mm ring configuration: Built for classic 26 mm scope tubes, this mount suits traditional hunting optics while keeping the installation tidy and mechanically secure on a Mauser M 94 or 96 platform.
• Adjustable mount-foot fit: The pivot-mount system uses adjustable front and rear mount-foot interfaces, helping the mount lock up precisely and supporting consistent alignment over repeated use.
• Steel construction: A steel body gives the mount the rigidity and wear resistance needed for long service life on a working hunting rifle, particularly where repeated removal and reinstallation are part of normal use.
• Windage adjustment: Built-in windage adjustment helps fine-tune scope alignment in the mount itself, which can simplify setup and preserve more internal adjustment range in the riflescope.

About the EAW Pivot Mounts Series

EAW Pivot Mounts are built around a long-established quick-detachable concept that EAW introduced more than 50 years ago. Within the company’s mount lineup, the series sits as a traditional solution for hunters and rifle owners who want a secure steel mounting system that can be removed and reattached without shifting the rifle’s zero. That repeatability is the defining trait of the series and one of the reasons it remains relevant on both classic and modern sporting rifles.

The design philosophy is practical rather than decorative. Adjustable front and rear mount-foot fits allow the mount to be set up precisely to the rifle and optic combination, supporting a tight, repeatable lock-up. EAW also positions the series as a good choice for shooters who use a second scope or aiming device, since the pivot system makes optic changes more straightforward while preserving the rifle’s established setup. Across the range, the mounts are intended for common rifles and long guns, with model-specific bases and ring or top configurations to match different actions and optics.

About the EAW pivot mount, 26 mm, Mauser M 94, 96

The EAW pivot mount, 26 mm, Mauser M 94, 96 is a rifle-specific steel mounting solution made for shooters who want to fit a classic 26 mm riflescope to a Mauser M 94 or 96 while keeping the practical advantages of a detachable hunting mount. Its main strength is not simply that it holds an optic, but that it does so in a way that supports repeatable removal and reinstallation. For a hunting rifle that may be carried in a case, stored with the scope removed, or used with more than one sighting setup, that repeatability matters in daily use.

Steel construction gives the mount the stiffness and long-term wear resistance expected from a traditional pivot system. Compared with lighter materials, steel is particularly well suited to a mount that relies on precise engagement surfaces and repeated locking cycles over many seasons. The mount also includes adjustable windage, which is valuable during installation because it helps center the optic mechanically before relying on the riflescope’s internal adjustment range. In practice, that can leave more elevation and windage travel available for zeroing and field corrections.

Because this model is tailored to the Mauser M 94 and 96, it suits users who want a clean, model-specific fit rather than a generic mounting arrangement. The result is a classic pivot mount for hunting optics that combines secure attachment, repeatable zero retention and the flexibility to remove the scope when needed.

About EAW

EAW traces its history to 1919, when Ernst Apel founded the company in Würzburg, Germany. The business later evolved into EAW, short for Ernst Apel Würzburg, and developed its first riflescope mounts in 1945. Since 1951, mount development and production have been the company’s primary focus, which explains the brand’s strong association with hunting and sporting rifle mounting systems.

Today, EAW is known for making pivot, slide-on or roll-off, and claw mounts, alongside thermal imaging products and more recent tactical mounting solutions. Its reputation in this category comes from long experience with mechanically precise, rifle-specific mounts made in Germany. For products such as pivot mounts, that background matters because the quality of the locking geometry, fit and repeatability is central to how the mount performs over time. EAW is now headquartered in Eibelstadt, Germany.
