EAW Rear Pivot Base for Heym Express Light

• Rear pivot base for Heym Express Light: This base is made specifically for the Heym Express Light platform, giving the rear section of an EAW pivot mount the correct fit for a secure, repeatable installation.
• Pivot-mount compatibility: As part of the EAW Pivot Mounts system, it supports quick removal and reattachment of the scope while maintaining consistent alignment for rifles that may be used with different sighting setups.

About the EAW Pivot Mounts Series

EAW Pivot Mounts are the company’s classic detachable mounting system for common rifles and long guns, developed to combine repeatable return to zero with practical day-to-day handling. The defining idea of the series is simple: the optic can be removed and reattached repeatedly without changing the rifle’s point of impact, which makes the system well suited to hunters who alternate between a primary scope and a second aiming device.

A key characteristic of the series is its adjustable front and rear mount-foot fit. This allows the mount to be tuned to the individual firearm for a precise, stress-free fit, which is important both for mechanical security and for preserving consistent shot placement. Within the EAW lineup, the pivot system stands out for its traditional all-steel mounting concept, its proven repeatability, and its suitability for rifles where a detachable scope mount is preferred over a fixed installation. For break-action firearms, EAW also offers a lever-operated variant built around the same pivoting principle, showing the flexibility of the series across different rifle types.

About the EAW Rear Pivot Base for Heym Express Light

The EAW Rear Pivot Base for Heym Express Light is the rear foundation element of a dedicated pivot-mount setup for this rifle platform. Its role is not simply to hold a scope mount in place, but to provide the precise rear engagement point that allows the EAW pivot system to work as intended. On a detachable mount, the quality of that interface matters directly to repeatability, because the rear base is part of the lock-up that determines how consistently the optic returns to the same position after removal and reinstallation.

Built from steel, this rear base favors rigidity and long-term durability at one of the most critical contact points in the mounting system. That makes practical sense on a hunting rifle, where the mount may be taken off for transport, storage, or use with open sights, then reinstalled in the field with minimal shift in zero. The 0 MOA inclination keeps the setup neutral, which is appropriate for conventional sporting and driven-hunt configurations rather than specialized long-range elevation bias.

Because it belongs to the EAW Pivot Mounts family, this base is intended for users who value a detachable riflescope mount with a traditional mechanical design and repeatable positioning. On a rifle such as the Heym Express Light, that means a mounting solution that supports clean handling, dependable reattachment, and the flexibility to use the rifle with more than one sighting arrangement when required.

About EAW

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

That long specialization explains EAW’s reputation in hunting and sporting rifle mounts, particularly in systems such as pivot mounts, slide-on or roll-off mounts, and claw mounts. Production moved from Würzburg to Gerbrunn in 1970, and Ernst Apel GmbH is now headquartered in Eibelstadt, Germany. In this product category, EAW is known for precise steel mounting solutions built around repeatability, secure lock-up, and model-specific fit across a wide range of rifles.
