EAW XS pivot mount, 36 mm, Carl Gustav 2000

• Repeatable return to zero: The EAW XS pivot mount is built so the scope can be removed and reattached without shifting point of impact, which is valuable when a rifle alternates between different optics or needs to be transported compactly.
• Adjustable front and rear fit: EAW’s pivot-mount design allows the front foot and rear foot fit to be adjusted, helping the mount sit correctly on the rifle and supporting consistent alignment over time.
• Steel construction: A steel mount body gives this setup the rigidity needed for hard field use, helping the optic stay secure under recoil and during repeated on-off cycles.
• 36 mm scope interface: The 36 mm configuration is intended for scopes with a matching mounting diameter, giving a direct and purpose-built connection instead of relying on adapters.
• Rifle-specific lower fit: This version is made for the Carl Gustav 2000 platform and related compatible actions, which simplifies installation planning and preserves the handling expected from a dedicated hunting rifle 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 introduced this design more than 50 years ago, and the concept remains focused on one practical advantage: allowing an optic to be removed and reattached while maintaining consistent point of impact. That makes the series especially relevant for hunting rifles that may carry a second scope or another aiming device depending on season, terrain, or shooting distance.

The series is defined by its adjustable front and rear mount-foot fit, which helps the mount be tuned to the rifle and optic combination rather than treated as a generic clamp-on solution. EAW also positions the pivot design as suitable for repeated use in the field, where a scope may need to come off for transport, cleaning, or a change of sighting setup. Across the range, the design philosophy is mechanical precision, repeatability, and a secure lock-up that supports reliable zero retention instead of fast removal alone.

About the EAW XS pivot mount, 36 mm, Carl Gustav 2000

The EAW XS pivot mount, 36 mm, Carl Gustav 2000 is a rifle-specific pivot mount for shooters who want a traditional detachable scope setup with repeatable positioning. Its 36 mm upper interface is intended for optics that use this mounting diameter, while the lower section is matched to the Carl Gustav 2000 family and a broad list of compatible actions. That combination matters in practice because a dedicated fit helps preserve alignment, handling, and access around the rifle better than a more universal mounting arrangement.

The main strength of this mount is not simply that it detaches, but that it does so in a way intended to keep the rifle’s zero stable after reinstallation. For hunters and sporting shooters, that is useful when switching between optics, removing the scope for storage, or transporting the rifle in a lower-profile case. Steel construction supports that role by providing the stiffness and wear resistance expected from a mount that may be opened and closed many times over its service life.

Because it belongs to the EAW XS pivot-mount family, this model also benefits from the series’ adjustable fit at the front and rear mount feet. That adjustability is important for fine mechanical setup and for achieving the secure, tension-controlled engagement that pivot mounts are known for. In practical use, the result is a mounting solution aimed at shooters who value a clean rifle-specific installation, dependable repeatability, and the option to remove the scope without turning the rifle into a permanent one-optic setup.

About EAW

EAW traces its origins to 1919, when Ernst Apel founded the company in Würzburg, Germany. The business later moved production to Gerbrunn in 1970, and Ernst Apel GmbH is now headquartered in Eibelstadt, Germany. The company is closely associated with riflescope mounting systems and developed its first mounts in 1945.

Since 1951, mount development and production have been EAW’s primary focus. The brand is known for making pivot mounts, as well as slide-on or roll-off mounts and claw mounts for riflescopes. This long specialization is especially relevant in the hunting and sporting market, where repeatable zero retention and rifle-specific fit are central requirements. In addition to mounts, EAW also offers thermal imaging cameras, but its reputation remains strongly tied to precision mechanical mounting solutions made in Germany.
