EAW pivot mount - lever lock, 26 mm, Sauer STR

• Lever-lock pivot design: The lever-operated closure lets the mount be removed and reattached quickly while keeping the locking mechanism on the mount itself, which simplifies handling and supports repeatable scope use.
• 26 mm ring configuration: Built for 25.4 mm (1 inch) scope tubes, this version suits many classic hunting optics and gives a secure steel mounting interface without adapters.
• Extended KR 26.0 mm layout: The extended geometry helps position the scope correctly on the rifle, making it easier to achieve proper eye relief with compact or traditionally proportioned optics.
• Steel construction: A steel body adds rigidity and wear resistance at the contact points, which matters on a mount intended for repeated removal and refitting over many seasons.
• Rifle-specific fit for Sauer STR: This pivot mount is matched to the SIG Sauer 200 STR, giving a dedicated interface rather than a generic base-and-ring combination.

About the EAW Pivot Mounts Series

EAW Pivot Mounts are the company’s long-established quick-detachable mounting system, developed for shooters who want a scope that can be removed and reattached without shifting the rifle’s point of impact. EAW states that it introduced this pivot-mount concept more than 50 years ago, and the design remains one of the brand’s defining mount families. In practical use, the system is valued by hunters and rifle owners who alternate between a day scope and another aiming device, or who want to remove the optic for transport, storage or access to open sights.

A key characteristic of the series is its adjustable front and rear mount-foot fit, which allows the mount to be set up precisely on the rifle. The range also includes lever-operated variants, where the closure is placed on the scope mount rather than on the firearm. That arrangement keeps the handling self-contained and makes the mount especially useful where fast removal and reinstallation are part of normal field use. Across the series, the emphasis is on repeatability, mechanical precision and rifle-specific fit for common long guns.

About the EAW pivot mount - lever lock, 26 mm, Sauer STR

This EAW pivot mount with lever lock is a rifle-specific steel mounting solution for the SIG Sauer 200 STR, configured for scopes with a 25.4 mm (1 inch) main tube. Its purpose is straightforward: provide a secure, repeatable interface for a traditional 1-inch riflescope while preserving the practical advantage of a quick-detachable pivot system. For shooters who use one rifle with more than one optical setup, that means the scope can be taken off and put back on with less disruption to the established zero than with a conventional non-detachable ring set.

The lever-lock mechanism makes handling faster and more convenient than a fixed mount, especially when the optic is removed regularly for transport or swapped with another sighting setup. Because the closure is integrated into the mount, operation stays consistent from rifle to rifle within the system. The KR 26.0 mm extended form is also important in practice: it helps place the scope at the right position on the action, which can be critical for obtaining correct eye relief and a natural shooting position.

Its steel construction supports long-term durability at the pivot and locking surfaces, where repeated attachment cycles place the greatest demand on the mount. Combined with the dedicated Sauer STR fit, this gives the mount the kind of stable mechanical foundation expected for hunting optics and precision rifle setups that rely on dependable return-to-zero behavior.

About EAW

EAW traces its history to 1919, when Ernst Apel founded the company in Würzburg, Germany. The business later adopted the EAW name after the acquisition of Elektro-Dental-Werke Frankfurt in 1923, with the initials standing for Ernst Apel Würzburg. The company developed its first riflescope mounts in 1945, and since 1951 mount development and production have been its main area of work.

That long specialization explains why EAW is closely associated with mechanically precise rifle mounting systems. Its catalogue includes pivot mounts, slide-on or roll-off mounts and claw mounts, alongside newer tactical mounting solutions and thermal imaging products. Production moved from Würzburg to Gerbrunn in 1970, and the company is now headquartered in Eibelstadt, Germany. In this product category, EAW is best known for durable steel mounts built around repeatable removal and reinstallation.
