EAW pivot mount, 26 mm, Krico 300, 400

• Repeatable return to zero: The EAW pivot design lets the scope be removed and reattached without shifting point of impact, which is especially useful when one rifle is used with different optics or when open sights need to stay accessible.
• 26 mm ring interface: Built for scopes with a 26 mm main tube, this mount gives a secure steel connection for classic European optics while keeping the installation matched to the tube diameter.
• Fit for Krico 300 and 400 rifles: The mount is configured for these specific rifle models, which helps achieve correct positioning and a stable mechanical fit without relying on generic adapters.
• Adjustable pivot-mount geometry: EAW pivot mounts use adjustable front and rear mount-foot fits, allowing the installation to be tuned precisely for proper lock-up and repeatable alignment.
• Steel construction: The all-steel build favors long-term durability and rigidity, an advantage on hunting rifles that are carried often, exposed to weather, and expected to hold zero over years of use.

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 design more than 50 years ago, and the concept remains centered on a practical goal: allowing a riflescope to be removed and reattached without changing the point of impact. That makes the series particularly relevant for hunting rifles that may alternate between a day scope, a second optic, or the rifle’s original iron sights.

A defining characteristic of the series is its adjustable front and rear mount-foot fit, which gives the installer room to tune the mount for proper engagement and repeatable closure. The system is intended for shooters who want a traditional steel mounting solution with dependable return-to-zero behavior rather than a one-piece universal arrangement. Within the broader EAW lineup, the pivot series stands out for its combination of detachable handling, rifle-specific fit, and compatibility with a wide range of sporting firearms. It is a practical choice where repeatability, serviceability, and the option to swap optics matter more than minimum weight.

About the EAW pivot mount, 26 mm, Krico 300, 400

This EAW pivot mount is a rifle-specific solution for the Krico 300 and Krico 400, built to carry a riflescope with a 26 mm main tube. That combination makes it especially suitable for classic hunting rifles and traditional European optics, where a clean fit and repeatable removal are often more important than modular accessory space. Because the mount is matched to the rifle models underneath and the tube diameter above, it supports a more precise installation than a generic mount intended to fit many actions.

In practical use, the main advantage is the pivot system’s ability to let the optic come off the rifle and go back on while maintaining zero. This is useful for hunters who want to switch between optics, transport the rifle with the scope removed, or keep access to backup sights. The adjustable fit of the pivot-mount interface also matters in the field: it allows the mount to be set up for consistent lock-up, which is central to repeatable accuracy after reattachment.

The steel construction gives the mount the rigidity and wear resistance expected from a traditional detachable hunting mount. Rather than prioritizing low mass, this design emphasizes stable support, long service life, and secure engagement under regular use. For a Krico owner using a 26 mm scope, it is a purpose-built mounting option that combines classic handling with the convenience of a detachable system.

About EAW

EAW traces its origins to 1919, when Ernst Apel founded the company in Würzburg, Germany. The business developed its first riflescope mounts in 1945, and since 1951 mount development and production have been its primary focus. In 1923, Ernst Apel acquired Elektro-Dental-Werke Frankfurt and changed the EDW brand to EAW, meaning Ernst Apel Würzburg.

Today, EAW is known for building pivot, slide-on or roll-off, and claw mounts for riflescopes, alongside thermal imaging products and more recent tactical mounting solutions. Production moved from Würzburg to Gerbrunn in 1970, and Ernst Apel GmbH is now headquartered in Eibelstadt, Germany. In the optics-mount category, the brand is closely associated with traditional German steel mounts designed for precise fit, repeatable attachment, and long service life on sporting and specialist rifles.
