EAW XS pivot mount, LM rail, Winchester 70 Standard, 770, Target

• Repeatable return to zero: The EAW pivot design lets the scope be removed and reattached without shifting point of impact, which is valuable when switching between optics or transporting the rifle.
• LM rail interface: Built for scopes with an LM Rail, this version gives a secure, precisely aligned connection without separate rings, helping maintain consistent mounting geometry.
• Steel construction: The steel build prioritizes rigidity and long-term wear resistance, which matters on hunting rifles that see repeated recoil and frequent optic changes.
• Model-specific fit: Made for the Winchester 70 Standard, 770 and Target pattern, the mount is tailored to the action footprint for correct positioning and dependable engagement.
• Low 18.00 mm build height: A BH height of 18.00 mm helps keep the optic close to the bore, supporting a natural cheek weld and a more balanced rifle setup.

About the EAW Pivot Mounts Series

EAW Pivot Mounts are the company’s classic quick-detachable mounting system, developed and introduced more than 50 years ago for shooters who need both repeatability and flexibility. The series is designed around the practical advantage of removing a riflescope and reinstalling it without changing the rifle’s point of impact, which makes it well suited to hunting rifles that may carry different optics for different conditions.

A defining trait of the series is its adjustable front and rear mount-foot fit, allowing precise setup and secure lock-up. EAW also presents the pivot concept as a useful solution when a rifle is used with a second scope or aiming device, giving the shooter a way to adapt the firearm without abandoning repeat precision. Across the range, the design philosophy is mechanical, robust and rifle-specific, with versions for many common long guns. Within EAW’s lineup, the pivot mounts sit as a traditional, proven system for shooters who value dependable reattachment, solid steel construction and a mounting method that supports long-term use across multiple optic configurations.

About the EAW XS pivot mount, LM rail, Winchester 70 Standard, 770, Target

The EAW XS pivot mount, LM rail, Winchester 70 Standard, 770, Target is a rifle-specific pivot mount built for shooters who want the handling benefits of a detachable optic without giving up consistency. Its configuration for the LM Rail interface makes it a strong match for rail-equipped riflescopes, creating a clean and stable connection that avoids the extra stack height and alignment variables of separate ring systems.

For practical field use, the key advantage is the combination of repeatable pivot attachment and a steel structure. That gives the mount the stiffness needed for reliable optic support while also allowing the scope to be removed when open sights, transport convenience or a second optic setup is preferred. On a Winchester 70 platform, that flexibility is especially useful for hunters who may want one rifle to cover different roles through the season.

The 18.00 mm BH height helps keep the optic mounted relatively low, which supports a more natural head position behind the scope and can improve consistency from shot to shot. The KR 45.0 mm extension also contributes to correct scope placement, helping accommodate eye relief and overall optic position on the action. In use, this mount is less about adding complexity and more about preserving a solid, repeatable interface between rifle and scope in a form that suits traditional hunting and sporting rifles.

About EAW

EAW was founded by Ernst Apel in Würzburg, Germany, in 1919. The company’s identity in the shooting world is closely tied to riflescope mounting systems, which became its primary development and production focus in 1951. EAW produced its first riflescope mounts in 1945, and over time it built a reputation for precise, mechanically engineered solutions made for demanding hunting and sporting use.

The company later moved production from Würzburg to Gerbrunn in 1970, and Ernst Apel GmbH is now headquartered in Eibelstadt, Germany. EAW is particularly known for its pivot, slide-on or roll-off, and claw mounts, with a product philosophy centered on repeatability, secure fit and long service life. In addition to mounts, the company also offers thermal imaging cameras, but its strongest heritage remains in German-made scope mounting systems for traditional and modern rifles.
