EAW pivot mount, Swarovski SR rail, Heym Express bolt action

• Pivot return-to-zero design: The EAW pivot system lets the scope be removed and reattached while maintaining the rifle’s established point of impact, which is useful when switching between optics or transporting the rifle more compactly.
• Swarovski SR rail interface: Built for scopes with the Swarovski SR rail, this mount provides a secure, aligned connection without separate rings, helping preserve consistent positioning and simplifying installation on compatible optics.
• Steel construction: The steel build gives the mount the rigidity needed for hard field use and repeated removal cycles, supporting dependable scope retention on a hunting rifle.
• Rifle-specific fit for Heym Express: This version is made for the Heym Express bolt action, so the geometry matches the rifle platform and supports proper fit, handling, and sight height.
• Adjustable mount-foot fit: Within the EAW Pivot Mounts concept, the front and rear mount-foot fits are adjustable, allowing precise setup and helping the mount lock up with the consistency expected from a detachable hunting optics mount.

About the EAW Pivot Mounts Series

EAW Pivot Mounts are the company’s long-established quick-detachable mounting system for common rifles and long guns. EAW states that it developed and launched this pivot mount more than 50 years ago, and the design remains central to the brand’s hunting optics range. The series is built around a practical idea: a scope mount should come off the rifle when needed and go back on without shifting the established zero. That makes the system useful for hunters who alternate between a day scope, a second optic, or another aiming device depending on terrain, light, or game.

A defining feature of the series is its adjustable front and rear mount-foot fit, which allows the mount to be set up with close mechanical consistency. Across the range, EAW also offers variants tailored to different firearm types, including a lever-operated version intended for break-action firearms. In use, the series is known for combining a low-profile fit with the convenience of a detachable mount, making it a natural choice for traditional European hunting rifles where repeatable scope removal and reattachment matter as much as secure lock-up.

About the EAW pivot mount, Swarovski SR rail, Heym Express bolt action

This version of the EAW pivot mount is configured specifically for the Heym Express and for riflescopes that use the Swarovski SR rail. That combination makes it a purpose-built solution for hunters who want the clean alignment of a rail-mounted scope together with the flexibility of a detachable pivot system. Because the mount is matched to the rifle platform rather than being a universal base, it supports proper fit and consistent handling on the firearm.

The SR-rail interface is especially practical on a hunting rifle because it avoids separate scope rings and holds the optic in a fixed linear position along the rail. In the field, that helps maintain repeatable eye relief and alignment whenever the scope is removed and reinstalled. Combined with the EAW pivot mechanism, the result is a mount that suits rifles carried in vehicles, used with multiple optics, or stored with the scope detached for protection.

Steel construction gives the mount the stiffness and wear resistance expected from a premium detachable mounting system. That matters on a rifle intended for regular use, where the mount must resist movement under recoil and repeated locking cycles over time. As part of the EAW Pivot Mounts family, this model also benefits from the series’ adjustable mount-foot concept, which contributes to a secure lock-up and the repeatability that makes pivot mounts valuable for serious hunting optics setups.

About EAW

EAW traces its roots to 1919, when Ernst Apel founded the company in Würzburg, Germany. The business later took on 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 closely associated with riflescope mounting systems, including pivot, slide-on or roll-off, and claw mounts. The company has also expanded into related areas such as thermal imaging cameras and introduced a tactical mount series in 2023. Production moved from Würzburg to Gerbrunn in 1970, and Ernst Apel GmbH is now headquartered in Eibelstadt, Germany. In the sporting optics market, EAW is best known for precise, rifle-specific mounting solutions designed around repeatable fit and dependable mechanical function.
