Rusan Pivot Mount for Zastava M70, Mauser 98/48, 40 mm

• Pivot quick-release design: the mount lets the scope be removed and reattached quickly, which is useful when switching optics or transporting the rifle while keeping a repeatable mounting position.
• Built for 40 mm scope tubes: this version is made for 40 mm optics, giving a secure fit for larger specialist scopes without relying on reducers or mixed-size ring solutions.
• Steel construction: steel parts provide the rigidity and wear resistance needed on hard-used hunting rifles, helping the mount stay stable under recoil and repeated handling.
• Windage adjustment: adjustable windage helps align the optic more precisely to the rifle, reducing the need to use excessive internal scope correction during zeroing.
• Rifle-specific fit: the mount is made for Zastava M70 and Mauser 98/48 pattern actions without a bolt bulb, which simplifies installation and gives a more integrated fit than universal mounting systems.

About the Rusan Pivot Mounts Series

Rusan Pivot Mounts are part of the company’s dedicated line of firearm optics mounts, developed for shooters who want a removable scope mounting system with a solid mechanical lock-up. In the Rusan range, the pivot system sits alongside rails, rings, and quick-detach solutions, but it stands out for combining steel construction with a practical quick-release fixation concept. That makes it especially relevant for traditional hunting rifles where a low, clean installation and dependable return to position matter more than a universal tactical interface.

The series covers a wide spread of rifle platforms and mounting interfaces, including rifle-specific versions for established European actions as well as variants for 11 mm prisms and Picatinny rails. Rusan also offers both complete mounts with bases and upper assemblies without bases, so the system can suit different rifle setups and replacement needs. Within the line, ring sizes extend up to 40 mm, which allows the pivot format to support not only standard hunting scopes but also larger-tube optics used on specialized rifles. The overall design philosophy is straightforward: a rifle-specific steel mount that removes quickly, locks back into place securely, and keeps the handling qualities expected from classic sporting rifles.

About the Rusan Pivot Mount for Zastava M70, Mauser 98/48, 40 mm

The Rusan Pivot Mount for Zastava M70, Mauser 98/48, 40 mm is a rifle-specific mounting solution for shooters using Mauser-pattern sporting rifles and a 40 mm scope tube. Its main advantage is not simply that it holds an optic, but that it does so in a format that suits traditional bolt-action hunting rifles. A pivot mount keeps the profile of the rifle tidy and practical, while the quick-release arrangement makes it easier to remove the scope for transport, maintenance, or a change of optic configuration.

This version is intended for Zastava M70 and Mauser 98/48 pattern actions without a bolt bulb, along with a broad group of compatible Mauser-derived rifles. Because the geometry is matched to these actions, the mount is a more natural choice than a generic ring-and-rail setup when the goal is a clean, rifle-specific installation. The use of steel construction is important here: on full-power hunting rifles, steel offers the stiffness and long-term durability needed for repeated recoil cycles and frequent removal and reattachment.

A further practical feature is windage adjustment. This allows the optic to be aligned more closely with the rifle at the mount level, which can preserve more of the scope’s internal adjustment range for zeroing and trajectory correction. Finished in black, the mount keeps a discreet appearance that matches most hunting optics and classic sporting rifles.

About Rusan

Rusan-Mikron is a Croatian manufacturer based in Marija Bistrica, Croatia, with roots in the Rusan family’s metalworking business dating back to 1983. Željko Rusan opened a gunsmith shop in 1986, and the company began producing scope mounts in 1993. That background is reflected in a product range centered on practical firearm interface components rather than general outdoor equipment.

Today, Rusan manufactures scope mounts, scope rings, Picatinny rails, and firearm tuning products, with a strong focus on rifle-specific fit. The company is also well known for adapter solutions for electro-optics, including clamp adapters for clip-on sights and adapters for night-vision and thermal-imaging devices. Rusan introduced its clip-on sight adapter clamp in 2009, reinforcing its reputation for precise mechanical solutions that connect optics securely to hunting and shooting platforms.
