EAW pivot mount, 30 mm, Fabarm Iris

• Repeatable return to zero: The EAW pivot mount is built so the riflescope can be removed and reattached without shifting point of impact, which is valuable when switching between optics or transporting the rifle.
• 30 mm scope fit: This version is made for 30 mm scope tubes, giving a secure steel mounting solution for many popular hunting riflescope configurations.
• Adjustable mount-foot fit: The adjustable front and rear foot fit allows precise setup to the rifle and mount, helping achieve a stable lock-up and consistent alignment over time.
• Steel construction: A steel build favors rigidity and long-term wear resistance, which matters on hard-used hunting rifles where the mount must hold zero through repeated use.
• Rifle-specific compatibility: This model is configured for the Fabarm Iris, giving a dedicated pivot-mount solution that matches the rifle platform rather than relying on a universal compromise.

About the EAW Pivot Mounts Series

EAW Pivot Mounts are part of the company’s long-established quick-detachable mounting line and have been in the range for more than 50 years. The series is intended for common rifles and long guns where the user wants the flexibility to remove an optic and reinstall it without changing the rifle’s zero. That makes the system especially relevant for hunting rifles that may alternate between a day scope, a second optic, or open sights depending on the season and terrain.

A defining characteristic of the series is its repeatable pivot design, combined with adjustable front and rear mount-foot fit. In practical use, that means the mount can be tuned for a precise mechanical fit and then opened and closed with the consistency expected from a dedicated rifle-specific solution. Within EAW’s lineup, the pivot mount sits as a traditional and proven option for shooters who value secure steel construction, a clean installation, and the ability to change optics without turning the rifle into a permanent single-scope setup.

About the EAW pivot mount, 30 mm, Fabarm Iris

The EAW pivot mount, 30 mm, Fabarm Iris is a rifle-specific scope mount for shooters who want a detachable optic setup on the Fabarm Iris without giving up repeatability. Its core advantage is not simply that it holds a scope, but that it does so in a way that supports practical field use: the optic can be removed for transport, maintenance, or a change of sighting system and then reattached with the consistency expected from the EAW pivot concept.

This version is configured for 30 mm scope tubes, one of the most common formats for modern hunting optics. That makes it a sensible match for a wide range of riflescopes while preserving the low-profile, purpose-built character of a dedicated pivot mount. The steel construction adds the rigidity and wear resistance expected from a mount that will be opened and closed repeatedly over years of use. For a hunting rifle, that matters because the mount is a working mechanical interface, not just an accessory.

As part of the EAW system, the mount benefits from adjustable mount-foot fit, which helps the installer achieve a precise lock-up between mount and rifle. In practice, this supports stable alignment and dependable return to zero. For hunters using one rifle in different roles, the result is a mounting solution that combines secure scope support with the flexibility to swap or remove optics when needed.

About EAW

EAW traces its origins to 1919, when Ernst Apel founded the company in Würzburg, Germany. The business produced its first riflescope mounts in 1945, and since 1951 the development and production of scope mounts have been its primary focus. That long specialization is central to EAW’s reputation in the hunting and sporting optics market, where the company is known above all for mechanical mounting solutions rather than general firearms accessories.

Today, Ernst Apel GmbH is headquartered in Eibelstadt, Germany, following the move of production from Würzburg to Gerbrunn in 1970. The company’s range includes pivot mounts, slide-on or roll-off mounts, and claw mounts, alongside newer tactical mounting solutions and thermal imaging products. For products such as this one, EAW’s relevance lies in its long concentration on precise, repeatable optic mounting systems built around rifle-specific fit and durable all-metal construction.
