Rusan Pivot Mount without Bases for Mauser K98/ M48, 30 mm

• 30 mm scope fit: Built for riflescopes with a 30 mm main tube, giving a secure ring interface for many common hunting optics without adding unnecessary bulk.
• Pivot quick-release design: The quick-release swivel system lets the scope be removed and reattached efficiently, which is useful when transporting the rifle, switching optics, or accessing open sights.
• Without bases configuration: Supplied without bases, this mount is intended for rifles already equipped with compatible pivot bases, making it a practical replacement or upgrade without changing the existing base setup.
• Steel construction: The steel body is chosen for rigidity and wear resistance, helping the mount maintain alignment under repeated use and recoil.
• Mauser K98/M48 compatibility: This version is made for the Mauser K98/M48 pattern, giving a model-specific fit for classic Mauser-based rifles that use the corresponding pivot-base interface.

About the Rusan Pivot Mounts Series

Rusan Pivot Mounts are part of the company’s dedicated line of firearm optics mounts for hunters and shooters who want a detachable setup without giving up a traditional, low-profile mounting style. Within Rusan’s catalog, the series covers rifle-specific solutions for a wide range of actions and mounting interfaces, including versions for particular rifle makes as well as variants designed around 11 mm prisms and Picatinny rails. That broad compatibility makes the series relevant both for modern sporting rifles and for classic hunting rifles that benefit from a tailored mount geometry.

A defining characteristic of the series is its use of steel construction together with quick-release fixation. In practice, that combination favors repeatable handling, solid lock-up, and durability in field use. The range also spans several optic connection formats, with complete pivot mounts offered for 26 (25.4), 30, 34, 36, and 40 mm scope tubes, alongside versions sold as complete sets with bases and others supplied without bases. This gives shooters flexibility to match the mount to both the riflescope tube diameter and the rifle’s existing base arrangement.

About the Rusan Pivot Mount without Bases for Mauser K98/ M48, 30 mm

The Rusan Pivot Mount without Bases for Mauser K98/ M48, 30 mm is a detachable steel scope mount made for shooters using a Mauser K98 or M48 pattern rifle with compatible pivot bases already in place. Its 30 mm ring format suits a large share of modern hunting riflescopes, making it a practical choice when the goal is to pair a classic rifle action with a current optic without moving to a bulkier rail-based setup.

The main advantage of this model is its without-bases configuration. For rifles that already carry the correct pivot bases, there is no need to replace the lower mounting interface; the upper mount can be fitted directly into the established system. That is useful for replacing a worn mount, changing from another tube diameter, or building a second optic setup around the same rifle. The quick-release pivot design also adds flexibility in everyday use, allowing the scope to be removed for transport, maintenance, or access to backup sights, then reattached through the same mounting points.

Rusan uses steel construction for this mount, which matters on a detachable system because rigidity and surface durability help preserve consistent positioning over repeated attachment cycles. Finished in black, the mount keeps a subdued appearance that suits both traditional hunting rifles and practical field builds. For owners of Mauser-based rifles who want a detachable 30 mm scope mount matched to an existing pivot-base setup, this model focuses on fit, mechanical simplicity, and dependable handling.

About Rusan

Rusan is a Croatian manufacturer whose roots in metalworking go back to 1983. The business grew from the Rusan family’s engineering and machining background, and Željko Rusan opened a gunsmith shop in 1986. Scope-mount production followed in 1993, establishing the company’s long-standing focus on the mechanical side of sporting and hunting firearms.

Based in Marija Bistrica, Croatia, Rusan-Mikron manufactures scope mounts, rings, Picatinny rails, and firearm tuning products, with fitments for rifle platforms such as the Tikka T3, Sauer 202, and Zastava M70. The company is also well known for adapter solutions for clip-on sights and for night-vision and thermal-imaging devices. A notable step in that area came in 2009, when Rusan introduced its clip-on sight adapter clamp, reinforcing its reputation for precise, application-specific mounting hardware.
