EAW pivot mount, 26 mm, Tikka M 695

• 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 returning the rifle to open-sight use.
• Adjustable front and rear feet: Fine adjustment at both mounting points helps achieve a precise fit on the rifle, supporting consistent alignment and dependable long-term use.
• Steel construction: A steel mount body gives the system the rigidity and wear resistance needed for a secure scope-to-rifle connection under regular field use.
• 26 mm ring configuration: Built for 26 mm scope tubes, this version suits classic European riflescope formats while keeping the installation compact and mechanically straightforward.
• Rifle-specific Tikka interface: This mount is configured for the Tikka M 695 platform, giving a dedicated fit that supports stable attachment and clean handling on the rifle.

About the EAW Pivot Mounts Series

EAW Pivot Mounts are the company’s classic quick-detachable mounting system, a design that EAW introduced more than 50 years ago and still keeps in its current mount range. The series is built for common rifles and long guns, with the main idea being practical repeatability: the riflescope can be removed and reattached without changing the point of impact. That makes the system especially useful for hunters and shooters who want one rifle to serve more than one role, whether that means changing optics for different light conditions or fitting a second aiming device.

A defining feature of the series is its adjustable front and rear mount-foot fit, which helps the mount be tuned precisely to the firearm. This mechanical approach reflects EAW’s long-standing focus on robust steel mounting solutions rather than disposable or overly simplified designs. Within the broader EAW lineup, the pivot mount sits as a traditional, repeatable solution for users who value secure lock-up, clean removal and reinstallation, and compatibility with a wide range of rifle models. It remains one of the brand’s core systems for hunting optics where dependable zero retention matters in everyday field use.

About the EAW pivot mount, 26 mm, Tikka M 695

The EAW pivot mount, 26 mm, Tikka M 695 is a rifle-specific scope mount for shooters who want a traditional detachable setup on the Tikka M 695 platform. Its main advantage is not simply that it holds a scope, but that it does so in a way that allows the optic to be removed and reinstalled while preserving the rifle’s established zero. For a hunting rifle, that is useful when the scope needs to come off for transport, when a second optic is used, or when the rifle is returned to a more stripped-down configuration.

This version uses a 26 mm ring format, making it suitable for classic 1-inch class scope applications listed for this mount pattern, while keeping the setup mechanically simple and well matched to traditional European hunting optics. The steel construction supports a rigid connection between rifle and scope, helping the mount resist wear at the contact points over repeated attachment cycles. Because the design is part of the EAW pivot system, the mount also benefits from the series’ adjustable fit at the front and rear feet, which contributes to precise installation and repeatable positioning.

In practical terms, this mount suits users who place a high value on repeatable scope removal, a clean rifle-specific fit, and the long service life associated with an all-steel mounting solution. It is a purpose-built option for pairing a Tikka M 695 with a 26 mm hunting riflescope in a detachable pivot-mount format.

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. That long specialization is central to EAW’s reputation in the sporting and hunting optics market, where the company is known for mechanically precise mounting systems rather than general outdoor accessories.

Today, Ernst Apel GmbH is headquartered in Eibelstadt, Germany, following the move of production from Würzburg to Gerbrunn in 1970. The company’s core expertise includes pivot, slide-on or roll-off, and claw mounts for riflescopes, alongside newer tactical mounting solutions and thermal imaging products. For products such as this pivot mount, EAW is best understood as a specialist manufacturer focused on secure optic attachment, repeatable zero retention, and rifle-specific mounting solutions made in Germany.
